    Thank you for sharing this. We are working to improve the friending process on EP and will be discussing your feedback with our developers.

      you and the developers have been discussing this forever and nothing has happened *sigh* there should have been a way to remove people from your circle long ago.

      I don't know who "I and the developers " are. I don't work for EP and have no affiliations with them other than being a member. If they would offer me a job I would work for them on a freelance basis. But I know frustration with a system will drive folks away. Slowly, at first. But it will drive them away.

    I second this suggestion! I dislike the whole block and unblock thing. It is annoying and time consuming. Blocking them feels punitive, even though it is not. It is just the only way to get them off the fan list.

      Thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.

    I've thought about this. I have about 40 or 50 "fans" who have never attempted to contact me, never written any comments or messages to me, have no reason to friend me and don't even return my standard "Hello" message I send out to all my friends. When I unfriend them for not contacting me back I don't want to block them but I don't want to have a 5 page fan list. It's ridiculous. Just send the message. That's a great idea. Maybe then they'll realize that to be on my list you need to have some interest in communicating with me. I'm not going to send you an invite if I don't intend to speak to you.

      The disclaimer message, while it may hurt some folks, would not be as punitive as a block. Glad you liked the idea. I hope they act on it.

      You only have to block for minute or two then un block but would be easier if had button for both unfriend and then click again to un fan.or just click to unfan if not going to be friends.
