Removing friends

Unfortunately, I must remove some people listed as friends from my Goodreads. I do not know all of you, and moves to acquire support in some of my literary endeavors have backfired in unexpected and unsavory ways. While some might not have been unsupportive, when one doesn't know where the shots come from, one must do a whole sweep. Friendship is an earned and deserved spot. If I have cut some wonderful friends accidentally who deserved my esteem, a note to correct the mistake will be appreciated. Thank you for your understanding. Followers are always wonderful, and I thank all those who follow me.
