If someone that to me is just an acquaintance drops me into his 'stalking' or 'spamming' group and I keep getting crap I don't want it.

This shouldn't happen. You only get messages from people that you put in your circles. This makes the point that Google might need to better explain how Circles works, however.

The mistake of the FP and Google+ approach is trying to tag a person as a category, when these sites are about sharing different types of information and topics, regardless of the relationship you have with them.

That's an interesting point. Maybe it's not so much that we want to categorize people, but we want to categorize our communication? -On that note, stick around. Hubski is going to roll out an update in a couple of days that is going to mix things up a bit in that regard. :)
