I really like your thoughts about a test being a testimony, and meant to be shared.

I’m honored, and I thank you so much for letting me know. We are living in challenging days, but with all of us picking up a bit of the load and sharing, the burdens are lighter and the goal easier to reach. You are a true sister in spirit and an inspiration to me too

I like this thought! It especially kills me when everyone puts these “regular” men and women up on those pedestals, praising them for what they’re doing (which most of the time is nothing all that special) and then talk so bad abt those same “pedesataled folk” when they happen to slip and prove they were only really just human to begin with.
How abt we put ourselves on those pedestals and then try to live up to what we’re expecting that pedestal to represent? I’ll bet that would be a challenge no one would ever really want to accept.

A twitter user I gave a special recommend to on a FF sent out a tweet about how he/she is a grand thinker etc. and some of the things they say may offend. Okay so the day before that he/she had tweeted something that was meant to be humorous, and I knew that it was, but it contained one of my trigger words so I tweeted back a routine response not with anger or anything. I don’t take offense to tweets because I don’t know those people. He/she responded that it was a joke and apologized if I was offended. I didn’t think it was anything they had to apologize for so I said who cares if I am offended. That’s just one of my trigger words. He/she blocked me shortly after. So my long point is that person appears phony to me now. They can say whatever they want but if you even respectfully respond with something contrary to their beliefs then you’re no longer worthy to tweet with them. And I’m assuming this person isn’t the only Twitter user like that. People are taking these services far too seriously and something silly like FF and follow counts seem to be creating internet divas. I’ll still do it but only in response to one. And since I don’t make it a point to kiss any Twitter butts, I don’t get that many.

I agree with your reasoning on discontinuing the Followfriday practice, I stopped for the same reason but, chose not to make an announcement (nothing wrong that option IMO). I also realized that as diverse adults one persons reason for following someone may not translate the same for another.
I used to blindly follow and suggest follows but, upon tighter scrutiny I found that many tweeter sent my way on followfriday lists were not the engaging type or even the caliber of person I’d interact with beyond professional requirements. Meeting “my” standard is not a universal requirement for the twitterverse but, I’m not out to inflate someones follower count on GP.
I look at Twitter like a real conversation or other social engagement and in neither of these real life situations would I stick around if nothing grabbed my attention and/or what I had to contribute received no consideration.
So kudos on the No more “Follow Friday” Foolishness.
