Does anyone even check out their friend requests?

Hey all - just had a question. I had recieved a friend request and I accepted it first and then went to the page to check out who I had just "made friends" with. Lo and behold, I stumble upon a "Caps Lock" rant about the superiority of the white race and how the other races expect to have a handout from the government. Needless to say, I ended the friendship. When I looked at this page again, there were people coming onto the friend list right and left, leaving little cutsey comments. My question is, do people read people's profiles before accepting, or are we in it for the points? The third and only other possible option would be that people dig that crap. ?!?!

I always check them out before hand... and some people do dig that crap. If you will remember that Hitler made a point to twist some pagan lore to his benefit and used runes in an ugly way for instance, "Sieg" and the swastika. It draws, in my opinion, unsavory types to paganism. All we can hope is that those people eventually get in touch with the divine and see the narrowness of their minds...; ▶ Reply to This

Everyone's entitled to put what they will on their page and as long as they don't fill MY comment wall or my pm mailbox with such drek...it's okay with me. LOL! (besides I have this theory about my friend's list and a black hole...nevermind, you don't want to know! LOL!)

I didn't even bother to waste time explaining why I dropped him.; ▶ Reply to This
