It's not like they actually made any effort to seek you out, or considered the implications of "friending" you in light of their past behavior. Anyway... no reason to get worked up. Click the "Ignore" button for their request -- they don't even get notified that you did so. Smart move for Facebook. Or you could use this opportunity to lay into this twerp. --Ian Not like I’m trying to defend this douchebag (because I’ve been where you are myself), but a lot of times people just upload their entire email address book, click on a couple of buttons, and wait to see what happens.

Former work colleagues from firms let go from ages ago are also amusing to see because one looks at this with a sense "why the hell are they adding me". I created a FB Group for the website work and its the only real reason I maintain my account. Those who need to network with me for "the business" do so via Linked In or direct contact, as little as I care for long lost connections of the past, I guess there is a reason people lost touch in the first place. For the most part at least and while I cringe when I see some names come up as add requests, I am fairly certain that my own name sends waves of distress down some peoples spines too :) In short, deny who you dont want to add. I do it all the time with little concern for it.
