Request for netiquette advice

[fpb]

Among my f-list there is a particularly nice and charming person, whom I do not know all that well, but whose posts I enjoy. Just recently, two people whom I detest and whom I barred and blasted from my LJ in two separate incidents for very good reason have turned up on her f-list and started posting fairly frequently. These are people I would cross the road to avoid. I am seriously wondering whether it would not be better for me to de-friend this person, not for any personal reason, but because I do not want to share any space with certain other individuals. Does anyone have any thoughts?

I am always one for open and up-front conversation. If you think the nice person 'friended' the others because of you - talk to him/her about it. Maybe the nice person does not realize how much angst you have toward the other individuals. I always prefer open conversation to uncertain speculation.

Also, friending and un-friending is the norm in this world. Anyone that has been around understands that 99% of the time, there is nothing personal. And if it is personal, usually the individual already knows the situation.

I do not think the two individuals concerned knew that I was on that person's f-list. It may even be that one or both of them found it an unwelcome surprise. Anyway, for the time being I shall do nothing. I have received a great deal of wise advice and blown off some steam, and perhaps these people and I can just ignore each other.
