I have all but one person from HS blocked from my wall - all the rest either I had little contact with even in HS, or they're rw fundies, or both.

I've also changed my default status update settings to only allow people in select groups to see them - people I know in person now, people from college (who are NOT rw idiots - somehow they all turned out ok), and family.

Means I don't have to unfriend people from HS, but I also don't have to listen to their crap every day.

on edit: Also should mention that I've found FB great for getting back in touch with friends from college, and one in particular I'd missed having contact with - we now have lengthy chats occasionally and are probably better friends than we were back in college - so FB has some great points.

One of our local friends also uses it to contact me quickly, as I tend to respond almost immediately (due to having email notification and a notification set up on Trillian for emails)
