A delicate question

Now that I'm happily Blogrolling my links, I'm starting to wonder:

Is it good manners to de-Blogroll someone?

I'm not talking blogs I dislike or that have anything wrong with them. It's just that I'm finding some links that I just don't follow much anymore - in some cases, folks that are very popular in the blogging world, and would not suffer the loss.

Maybe I'd like to promote some lesser-known names.

But would I offend? I need all the friends I can get!

(By the way the links in question are folks that don't link back to me. You nice BigCat linkers out there need not worry, you are golden. You rule. Your links shall remain forever holy. Amen.)

I know some people have various sorts of two-tiered systems and ways of highlighting some reads on the main page with the rest a link away, but I'm not sure how complicated I want to get (hey, I do still have a day job).

So bloggers, what think thee?

It's your blog, dude. Link or unlink (i've been unlinked, too....sigh) to your hearts content. Just don't mess with my link. ;-) I guess what jen just said, actually. I'm going to unlink her, now. :-))

I see you to have a link to my site in your "Ryze and Blog" section. I can tell you now that I won't be offended if you remove it :-)

Just know that deblogging is reciprocal. I've got your number, bud.

You should link to the people you read. :) That said, I need to figure out who I read. ;)
