Should a student cross said line, then the repercussions are what is coming to him. <br /><br />We say in the air force, that between officers and other ranks, we should "be friendly but not familiar", to the better functionality of the unit as a whole.<br /><br />I have loads and loads of people who forward friend requests, and even with those whom I know, I do not approve if I see that we will not be interacting as friends on fb. If we had not spoken chummily when we were face to face as colleagues or coursemates, I am not inspired to see authenticity in the sudden and spontaneous deepening of the relationship on the arid pages of fb. <br /><br />Some others yet are total strangers and after scanning their profiles, I decide along similar grounds as with people whom I have encountered or become acquainted with. <br /><br />I guess it's a question of what you want this friendship to be years down the line. Quality then, or quantity?hobbit1964https://www.blogger.com/profile/04030529322509686268noreply@blogger.com
