tell ecib it's ok to unfollow me. It won't hurt my feelings.

joking aside - I've felt a tinge of that before - and even a hint of sadness when my follower count goes down, but I have to remember that a lot of users are far more dynamic in who they follow and who they don't' - and that changes all the time. I think there is a value in knowing who your followers are.

Perhaps a user could choose to follow anonymously? that could be a protection for the follower?
