On the contrary, if you were THAT concerned that someone was being a nuisance, you wouldn't want them having access to your wall posts and all of your information. So removing someone from your friends list would rank higher on my priority list than filing the restraining order. On the other hand, maybe this person wasn't very technical and didn't realize they could delete someone.

The problem with this scenario is in order to "poke" someone on facebook, you have to be on their friends list. If this person was that concerned about having any contact with their stalker, why was the stalker on their friends list? Don't get me wrong -- I don't think the lady should have "poked" this person or otherwise had any contact with the person. But my question is still valid.
