About this add to friends list thing........

Apparently, it is extremely easy to add someone as a friend to your list...You click on the option and they are your "friend" even if you have never conversed with the other person...Now, I find this to be a tad offensive...I think if someone wants to add you as a friend, then a conversation should take place first. I don't think this is unreasonable, in spite of messages that I have received that say that I am getting angry or overreacting...So let me make this a simple post..for simple minds...In my status box, it says to not add me as a friend without talking to me first..please respect this..it is not an "angry" or "over-reacting" message..it is a simple request. Honor it. I don't want to end up on the friends list of a pedophile or a christian group or something..If you want me as a friend, wouldn't you want to talk to me anyway???

Yeah, a few of us are starting to feel the same way, particularly now that we're starting to see spam arriving in our message boxes. Being added as a friend is something that should be toughened up, and a few of us are starting to raise the issue with the Opera team:

Christians freak me out. Buncha pansy-ass hypocrites. Most of 'em are the most judgemental people you will ever meet - COMPETELY missing the point of Christs teachings.

I live smack in the middle of Bible© thumping country..and yes, mostly the biggest hypocrites ever..especially the ones that are all "I love Jesus"...the "real" christians that I know don't admit to it lol
Should I thank God for being an atheist? heh

* posting in the shoutbox (not always possible and not persistent nor something you can cancel)
* sending a private message which may be too intrusive, needs a message body and once again it isn't something you can cancel.
* adding to your spotlights and as far as I know, no notification is delivered to the user who owns the blog.
Finally, adding the other as a friend fits perfectly.
In fact, it's a matter of miscalled feature in my opinion.
Friendship is reciprocal and MyOpera should implement a buddy system where requests exist and may be denied. If they are accepted, both get each other as a new buddy.
In addition, MyOpera should offer a feature that permits to notify a user that another user likes him/her with the choice of disabling that kind of notifications.

(and usually within earshot of other christians, I do a stage whisper of "get thee away from me, Satan" just for my own amusement)
