Does anyone know what happens when you deny someone your friendship on MySpace? Do they receive a notification?
I have a few people that I’d like to decline. There’s one school of thought that says “who cares if someone wants to be your friend? The more the merrier.” And then there’s the other side – the part of me that wants to decline the requests of teenagers – particularly underage boys and men who I suspect have one hand on the keyboard the other firmly planted down their pants.
I don’t mind the teenage girls so much. Some of them read the column and write really cute letters. It’s those hormonal boys that concern me.
Not that there’s anything proprietary or suggestive on my MySpace page. My pictures aren’t interesting. I have no videos. It’s little more than a way to have presence for the column.
But still. The exclusionary, somewhat elitist part of me wants to quickly hit the deny button every time I see the picture of a pizza-faced child or a total perv.
On another note, if anyone would like to visit my myspace space, I can be reached at www.myspace.com/columnista. I may or may not be your friend.
