They should click "Hide" and that will hide all of your stories from their newsfeed.

    A further option will then appear saying "Change what updates you get from brassplyer" and they can click that to allow things like status updates, photos, or other stuff to appear while blocking your other posts from appearing!

    It sounds kind of confusing, but I promise it isn't!
    or you can click on the arrow and 'hide' their posts ..... and then it will give you the option of changing what you see from them.
    I have zero interest in seeing people's breakfast or their darling little grandchild or, well, actually anything at all about their daily lives.
    So once I see that all someone posts is that kinda crap I just unsubscribe from them altogether. That avoids unfriending them and/or letting them know you even did anything.
    About all I want facebook for is to invite 'friends' to my gigs so I've pretty unsubscribed from as many as 75% of my 'friends'.

    that's the main thing ....... I am in contact with people from my past that I would never have found again without Facebook.
    You don't HAVE to sit there and read mindless drivel about their daily lives.

    Step 1.

    Hover the pointer over the person's name and when the box comes up...

    Step 2.

    ...hover over the "friends" label at the bottom, then another box will come up with various options. Un-check "Show in news feed"
    Yeah that'll work too. Like you said, it won't show you in their news feed at all. I thought from your OP that you still wanted to appear in their newsfeed, just not your poli/reli posts.

    Any mic you buy will be perfectly suited to your needs, until you use it long enough to learn that it's not.

    But that's just it - There is a reason that I haven't been in contact with certain people for a very, very long time.

    I find being on facebook is like having a front row seat at the Fragile Psyche Show.

    I hear people talk about this and that happening on face book ... You are right there, CFox.
    It is just an extension of the everyday soap opera that people thrive on.

    I don't like people, so amassing a huge friend count of people I've had zero to do with in 10/20yrs means nothing. People who know me have my address and number. Those that don't, don't. I like it that way ;-)
