I'm sure there is an answer out there....

I don't know it because it's a feature I don't mess with....

You could ask if you are a foe of anyone.

Not like most people would have the balls to tell you (not you, you, but anyone you).

Obviously, given I responded to you, you are not a foe of mine.

So, if someone making me a foe means they don't see my messages, then they wouldn't read my question asking if I was their foe, would they?

I have fees, fies and fums, but no foes.

If someone disagrees with you so much that they've declared you a foe, why should you care enough to find out about it? Neither of you will convince the other of your respective positions. "Never try to teach a pig to sing ...", with or without lipstick.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

They would have to click on the message specifically to read it.

Oh, I agree that it would make perfect sense if one's Friends & Foes list remained private. I was just curious if the Bored software provided a mechanism for providing that information as feedback. Primarily, it arose from the very subject line that pea chose to start this thread with: "I have foes." That immediately suggests two alternate explanations:

1) I have declared others to be my foes.

2) Others have declared me to be their foes.

As for the first explanation, if it's a private matter, why would one feel compelled to confess it? OTOH, the second explanation might more easily be an expression of surprise, as in "I have foes?" But it appears that that explanation is not supported in software, so pea must have meant #1.

I wonder if some folks are annoyed by this restriction:

I'm not annoyed by that - I am really good at ignoring anyone I darn well please.

I noticed that when I was helping Dave with the Bored upgrade, and wondered if it wouldn't cause some griping....

If someone wanted to ignore one of the Bobs, the restriction would prevent it.

No. Even with the highest levels of access that Administrators can have, there is no means of looking up anyone's Friends/Foes list. The only change that can be made is to disable the Friends/Foes feature for the entire Bored.

It would require a bit of reshuffling behind the scenes (and would be a bit of a hassle) but it actually is possible to work around that restriction, if there are enough people who just can't stand one or more of the six of us. 8)

You might find enough people who can't stand one of the six of you but I would bet it won't be the same one.
