With you Anne - my reaction to similar repeated request has been the same as yours, including the hesitation before blocking.

C-flat, I manage to use FB a lot without generating uncontrolled friendship requests, so other can too. I know FB pushes users to invite their friends, introduce them to each other etc, but one does not need to click the button that launches such requests... This includes playing all those damnable "games" and "apps" offered - they all first ask you to make your details accessible and then to invite your friends to play too! So I do not use such apps, I do not play Farmville or Pirates etc, and I confess that I am a little wary of friends who do, as they could inadvertedly infect themselves and others (if they accept invited from a dodgy app - and there are a few about).

Also - my ex-friend withdrew the friendship request to my daughter in law, before she had a chance to delete it, and after I posted this on Mudcat, which sort of confirms my course of action as the right one...

I wish that person well, and have no real reason to ascribe the worst possible motives to him. But he did wrong, and now he knows it. Let's leave it at that and we can still shake hands if ever we meet.
