I mean, you were being a bit condescending? You're also quite wrong, in that you define "friendship" in a very strict way that doesn't comport with how other people use the term. It's quite possible to have friends that aren't close friends; people whom you have fun with, whose lives you would prefer to be able to know something about, but whom you wouldn't go out of your way to keep up with if it became inconvenient. These people still count as friends.
To put it another way, I have family I would lose touch with if I left Facebook. They're still family and I would still prefer to know if they graduated college or got cancer or died. Same with friends-who-aren't-close.

If we're diving to /. depth here (as you seem to want to do), I'll go with it.
There (see above). FTFY.

I’ll be honest, I’m not sure what you mean about “/. depth”, but fair enough.

/. == slashdot.org noted in the last decade for shallow discussion, infighting and poor quality discourse.
Hence the "FTFY."
Not attempting to continue our disagreement, just clarifying my earlier post.
Have a good day!
Yes, we do disagree. But there's no reason to attack me for not agreeing with you.
I don't know you and don't care about you (except in a general, wishing all sentient life a positive experience, sense), nor do I care about your friends or family.
I related my experience and the views those experiences have engendered in me.
There was no intent to be any of the things you ascribe to me and it appears that you take offense to my point of view. Fair enough.
And since I want to be around folks who want to be around me and you're clearly not one of those, we can avoid the dishonesty of false pleasantries (which, it seems, you've already decided to do) and get on with our lives.
I wish you a good day and much success in whatever endeavours you undertake.
