I unfriend fairly regularly - usually because I realize that I associate only negative feelings with the person and can't find any value in their (even online) acquaintance.

I've only blocked three people - one was my friend's abusive and incarcerated ex-husband who was a stalking risk for her, a person with whom I'd had a falling out and who was using their children's accounts to spy on me and one person who became personally insulting and violent towards friends of mine in a facebook argument.

I consider blocking to be extreme and I relate it to issues of safety of myself and others that can see my posts.

I have a friend who blocked another mutual friend over a very slight issue of contention and TBH, I lost a lot of respect for the friend who blocked the other friend. It seemed childish and over the top considering the whole context and reasoning behind it and it led me to believe that she had a lot of insecurity that she actively projects onto others.
