No Solicitors

What's a nice way to tell Facebook friends, "If we're only Facebook friends so you can bug me to buy whatever crap you're hawking, please dump me right now"?

I'm not talking about family or close friends or people I knew long before they started selling. If you sell something and you're reading this post, the odds are good that you're not who I mean. I'm talking about acquaintances from high school or former ward members I was never close to, whose posts almost always revolve around their product. It's obvious they never saw me as anything more than a potential customer.

Which is fine. I see most people that way.

What I would sell, I don't know.

But that's beside the point. The point is, these people must be STOPPED and I have to STOP them.

Now to think of some diplomatic way to do it (besides unfriending them - I still have a hard time doing that).

If you come up with something, let me know.
