I admit readily to friending people in the beginning because they had friended me but really... for me a 'friends list' is a list of LJs that I want to read. It is made up of people that I may share common interests with or I may like reading their stories or comments or rants. I place no more weight on that and I have been friended and unfriended many times. Some people I've friended, haven't friended me and vice versa.
I just don't take any of it personally because this isn't "me". We're living through online personas and anything that someone does with or to that persona, I don't take as a slight towards me because, save a very few people that I talk to online, no one here knows who I am.
Sorry for all that ramble. I am just of the school of thought that I don't place much thought when friending and unfriending because it's about a journal, not a person and I don't put more weight on it than that.
