All the people remarking on the higher percentage of Democrats who said yes... Did you ever think that maybe that statistic is a reflection of Republicans' tendency to say things worth blocking more often?

Not a "friend", but some random person I didn't really know who posted so many things I found awful on a daily basis.

I had a friend who said "if you are stupid enough to be pro choice then delete me right now!" So I deleted him.

Luckily most of my fb friends came from school and are somewhat decent and educated about expressing their opinion. I have deleted emotional people and ugly people in real life.

I use social media to keep up with friends. I don't like it when they use it as a soap box. Don't care what their political views are as long as they aren't posting those made up anecdotes and stories as propaganda.

As far as politics, I know what I believe and I'm not afraid of reading someone else's views. I may think they are dead wrong and an idiot politically, and that's my right, but I've never delegated anyone because of politics.

Not because of political issues but because of lifestyle issues. I don't want to see half naked/naked people! I was a cop, and some things friends and I post upset a sensitive friend and she wanted people to not post about certain things. I deleted.

A 'friend' that would spout her politics but was intolerant of others. I deleted her in response to her post that said something along these lines,"I can't believe the intolerance of Joe Schmo, I've deleted him as a friend"

Never removed one, but I have unsubscribed to many friends on Facebook. I don't constantly spew my political opinions because I don't care about theirs. If anyone gets too preachy I'll unsubscribe.

I've never done it to anyone, but I had it done to me. All I did was like a page on Facebook, and she hasn't talked to me since. Triflin slor.

Yes. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but at some point it becomes too much. When that becomes the focus of everything they post....goodbye.

Only when they will not shut up about their beliefs and mention them in every status update. And most importantly, when they constantly put down and berate others who have different viewpoints.

I'm from a small town in Iowa. 70% Republican and I'm a democrat. I receive death threats monthly on social networks, so yes I had to.

How did they get to be a friend in the first place? Maybe they will eventually see the light. Anyway, I hardly ever use "social media" . Just to look at photos and read clever posters.

I have only because they started to personally attack me because they knew how strongly I felt on the issue (they started the argument). I'm pro gay and pro choice, but I don't shove it down their throats like they do mine. That pisses me off most.

I removed my cousin because of her rabidly anti-gay posts. Still invited her to my wedding and have communicated with her through other means, because it's just Facebook.

Democrats, what's wrong with you? I like to keep an open mind when it comes to other's opinion, unlike some people. I've been blocked by people because I told them they were closeminded. I know people are not always going to agree with me and that's the beauty of this country, the difference of

I have lots of friends with political viewpoint differences but only one who became so difficult that I had to "unfriendly" him. I was sad to do it, but it had gotten profanity-laden and ridiculous.

I removed a friend over political intolerance. I said "Guys, we have a president" last November. Which was me stating the obvious. I don't show who I support on Facebook. He commented stating, "No, we have a moron" unfriend

Yes, only because I was harassed about it. I actually got death threats as well over it. Democrats can be extremely intolerant sometimes. Not saying Republicans can't.

I haven't removed but hidden them...I don't care if people have a different view but I can't deal with constant political anger and propaganda

No, but this fall was hard for me. Being a democrat and auburn fan in the state of Alabama, you learn to bite your tongue a lot. I guess I only share my political opinions with very close friends...or complete strangers.

It's interesting how the dems. Who say they are the tolerant party, have a higher block percentage than the reps. Just saying lol.

No, not because of their position or opinion, in & of itself. Have shutdown/muted/blocked/etc ppl who were hostile, condescending, hateful &/or consistently disrespectful - regardless politics - several times. Sure I will again.

No, but an Obama supporter removed me after I strongly disagreed with her stupid friends after that Kenyan got reelected. Seems like the socialists cannot stand to have someone point out their errors.
