I want a Facebook response that is stronger than Ignore. It seems that if I get a friend request (or group invitation), my options are only Ignore and Accept. I want the equivalent of "no damn way."

A sort of a "go away and never darken my pixels again" response? Yeah, I wish I had that for some of the spammish yahoo-group invitations I get.

You could send a message to the inviter saying "not a chance in hell you foolish gerbil-spawn". Or something like that.

More like, "I will still be your friend, but I refuse to join a group centered around rap music." Or something. Republican politics. Whatever.

I kept getting invited to "Support Palin" groups. Yuck!

blocking, perhaps?

From the safety page (http://www.facebook.com/safety/):

I'm receiving unwanted messages. What should I do?
There are a few things you can do:
You can anonymously report messages by clicking on the "Report Message" link under the the name and picture of the sender when viewing a message. Facebook will review your complaint and will act to ensure all users comply with our Terms of Use so that Facebook remains a trusted environment where people can interact safely.
You can easily block any user on Facebook from seeing or contacting you by entering their name in the Block People section on the Privacy page.
You can limit the people who can find you in searches, which in turn limits who can message you. You can also prevent people from messaging you from your search listing. Both options are available on the Search Privacy page.

Please see my response above to dlevey. I do not want to complain about my friends to the Facebook administration, or block their posts to me, I just want to make a point of not joining some of their interest groups/events. They're not violating the terms of service in any way and I do not want to banish them from my message page - I just disagree with them.

I'm just proposing that in my ideal world there should be a third option - Yes, Ignore(discard), and No.

I agree. Sometimes "ignore" is not enough and blocking isn't an option with someone you actually like. Though, I like a simple, "No Way In H*ll".

I like to think of them as "yes/no/you have GOT to be KIDDING".
