I just unfriend them. No explanation. I have yet to have someone message me and ask why I unfriended them. BTW, I no longer accept people as friends that I don't actually know in real life. So, when I made the decision to unfriend strangers, I really didn't care if they wanted to give me grief because I didn't actually know them anyway.
I unfriend too. I don't talk to you anymore, you annoy me, I don't want you having access to my personal life anymore... unfriend.
I only friend people I know and still speak to in regular life.
I did a major make-over to my friends list a few months ago and deleted around 50 people. Those I don't talk to anymore, or care to, and those that annoy me. I never heard from all but one of them. One person actually requested to be my friend again, without a message or anything. I haven't talked to her in years and she moved to a different state. So I'm just ignoring the friend request for now.
I am a serial unfriender. I occasionally go through my friends list just to delete people that annoy the living daylights out of me. I also have never been messaged about unfriending someone.
I hide them if I still consider them friends but just don't want to see their kind of annoying statuses anymore. I can still communicate with them.
I unfriend them when I don't consider them friends anymore. They usually do something that really pisses me off to get that done to them.
I'm with @Mrs.ChubbyBunny:. I occasionally go through my friends list and defriend people. I do have some relatives on a list with limited profile viewing. I have had someone contact me and ask me why. I just explained that I am slowly whittling down my friends list to include only close friends and family.
Racist or homophobic comments will get someone defriended immediately though. No need to perpetuate the hate. I have no problem explaining the defriend in that situation.
Most people don't even notice they are deleted. I've deleted so many friends. I do monthly or bimonthly clean ups. I never have more than 200-300 friends. I delete people who I will never see again (I worked summer jobs all over the country...you are BFF while there, but don't talk afterwards), people I don't talk to, and I delete people who...post too many damn statuses. I don't want to hear what you do 24-7 (Going out to smoke a cigarette, damn its cold, what should I eat today, etc).
If I see racism or homophobia I delete them. And I tell them why.
I think it's easier to just delete than to restrict access. The person might not realize they've been deleted, but if they click on your profile and see that they can only see so much, well then its pretty obvious. Just delete, its' only Facebook after all.
I just delete.
Mostly people that I NEVER EVER talk to\ not interested in what their doing to keep them on there.
I dont like their constant comments, posts, etc... (racist, everyday reference to drugs, etc)
I just delete too. I like to go through my list every now and then and delete people I longer have contact with.
Pictures of babies on the toilet/naked children or is always a guaranteed deletion.
LOL I unfriend people all the time if I don't want to be their "friend." I don't see it as a big deal because they're usually people who I don't see anymore in real life anyway. One was a cousin and I don't know if he knows I did that because we've never brought it up. I just couldn't stand it anymore and I didn't know at the time that there were other options so I just unfriended him!
I think I've only ever unfriended my ex, and a couple of my friends' exes (at my friends' request - messy breakups). Sometimes I think about going through and deleting all the people I really don't talk anymore to or just friended after some party in college, but for me it's not even worth the time to do that - besides, sometimes it's entertaining seeing updates from those random people, so I don't mind having people I haven't seen in 5+ years on there.
I unfriend those I don't speak to, or simply no longer want them to have access to my life anymore for whatever reason. A couple of those people messaged me a few months ago when I did this. They were both so pissed, but they were not friends to me. They loved to snoop in on what was going on in my life but they could care less about me. I don't need those types of people in my life.
I went through and defriended anyone I wouldnt be excited to stop and chat with on the street if they saw me.
Oh and a couple of old male friends who decided to try and crack onto me via messages (which ranged from uncomfrtable to revolting) even though it said "in a relationship" or "engaged to" in my status.
Weirdo's!
@2ndtime: and @zippylef: yup, me too.
I've had people I unfriended try to re-friend me, but I just hit ignore. I have a 2 year rule...if you havent seen or talked to me in 2 or less years, you probably dont 'know' what is going on in my life anymore.
I unfriended a girl from my work. I have never even considered removing someone from my friends list until her.
We (I thought) were friends and went out to shows and dinner and hung out after work, an then she told our direct supervisor that I was gossiping about another co worker. I told her things in confidence because I thought we were friends.
Oh well, I'm still bitter but at least I do t have to read her status updates :)
I just unfriend. If I havent spoken to someone irl in god know how long, then they dont need to be on my fb either.
@guitargirl: I do the same thing you do. I make it so they cannot read my posts/etc. No one has ever said anything to me and I think its easier then deleting them and later them realizing, but I guess it doesn't really matter.
If people are always causing drama and post too many meaningless vulgar things, they get unfriended. No explanation.
I hide people who mainly post about dumb stuff or their avonkaychef business.
I restrict people like coworkers so they don't see everything, but I can avoid the unnecessary drama.
I unfriend people who have used it against me, such as gossiping with my boss and twisting what I say to get me in trouble.
I block exes.

I have never unfriended someone on FB. Instead, I put them on the restricted list as I think it creates less drama. While the person doesn't know, they can barely see anything of my profile. Do you think people realize what I am doing? Is this a better way? How do you handle unfriending?
