I asked a guy I met last November if he would "like" one of my Facebook pages (dealing with my new business enterprise). He did so, immediately.
This morning, I thanked him (in chat) for doing it, and we got to chatting about going out with friends, and how I don't go to smoking venues. He assumed that I must spend a lot of time at home, how he wouldn't see his friends if he didn't go to smoking venues, etc.
Well, this got on my nerves. I told him plainly that my choices are mine; I don't have to explain myself, or apologize, to anyone for these choices. He agreed - and then he went right back on the topic!
I told him that the conversation was over.
He asked me where the non-smoking venues were, or was that part of the conversation that was over? I replied that, yes, it was part of the conversation.
A few minutes later, when checking the page for my business, I discovered that I had one LESS "like" vote.
Yes, you guessed it. When I refused to talk further about the subject of smoking vs. non-smoking venues, he went to the page and removed his vote.
I thought about this for a moment. Obviously, this is extremely petty behavior. He was still online, and I could have asked him about it. I didn't care, though. It also occurred to me that he might send me a message; "See what I did? This is what you get for not talking to me!" or something like that.
So I took him off my list of friends. Hell of a way to find out something like this about someone, but better sooner than later.
