Facebook Twat
I'm hoping someone learned in the ways of Facebook can help me here.

I've recently been added by an old friend. No problem so far.

However, this particular old friend has an unfortunate habit of crossing the line when they leave comments on my page - bear in mind it's read by members of my family. I don't want to go so far as to remove him completely as we've known each other nigh on twenty years and have many mutual drinking buddies, but so far he's not heeded my requests to tone it down.

Is there a subtle way of preventing a specific person from replying to your updates instead of deleting their comments outright?

Or do I block the prick?

Not that I know of
But you can delete stuff off your wall any time you want.

That's what I've been doing....
...with an oh-so-subtle "You're on the naughty step" type comment to my so called old mate.

You can delete other people's comments.
You must have some dirt on him that you can threaten him with, I don't add anyone to my facebook until I have some good dirt on them.

Celendrix, for example, likes 'fruit' beers, and only complete and utter gaymovites like them.

I may just make up dirt if I can't find any.

Oh I've loads of dirt on him
I could mention that an ex of mine has first hand (fnar) experience of his tiny and ineffectual cock However I don't want to lower myself to being upset online.

Clendrix likes fruit beers?!?!?! Fruit beers!?!?!?

I, being a man, a manly man, only drinks beer, out of a dirty glass.
And if the beer isn't gassy enough, I dash it at the wall and ask them to try again.

I don't understand this.
You gave me a sip of your fruit beer, I said it tasted like sick.

Don't make me come over there and kick your arse, Gonzo.

I wish to be alone with the fruit beer now, thank you.

There ought to be a system
where you can assign roles to different friends like a sysadmin can with users on a network. Such a role could involve not being to reply on your wall.

I might suggest it to mr F. Acebook.

The 'F' stands for Fucking. And as he never learnt to read, the irony is the elephant in the room. With neon signs.

What the frig am I talking about?

Be nice
Make a light and jovial remark on his page about raping his mother. Anally. With a bottle. That holds 19litres when full. And has a broken end. Sideways.

Block 'im
I'm afraid, would seem to be one of the few options available to you.

Post a status update saying 'About to start culling Facebook - will YOU make the grade?'
Then cut him out.

But I told you to do this a couple of weeks ago.

*glares*

I don't want to cull him unless I have to
There are a lot of mutual friends involved.

Mutual friends?
Are they annoyed too? Ask around, everyone else probably feels like you do. Everyone should let him know at the same time and do a group cull if he does it again.
