An open letter to the facebook using public:

Look. If I've never met you, then we probably aren't friends, and so I'm not going to accept your friend request. Especially if you don't even have the courtesy to introduce yourself. Even if we have mutual friends, it's not going to happen. If you can't be arsed to say how you know me and why you think I should friend a complete stranger, then

See, this is sort of why I hate the internet age. There seem to be people out there that think being "friends" on facebook or something similar is equivalent to being friends in real life. Unless you've actually engaged in positive relations with someone (which can happen online, but sitting idle on someone's friends list - which you're possibly only on in the first place because you might have met briefly that one time - probably isn't the best way), you can't really be surprised that they don't feel that strongly for you.

On the bright side though, if you wanted to just outright tell this guy what an arse you think he is and why you defriended him (though I'd recommend ignoring him or just saying something about wanting to keep your list small and for close friends and people you see on a regular basis), facebook does provide a convienient messaging feature, so you can avoid any of that nasty face-to-face guilt!! :D The online stalking, spamming, and trashtalking that may occur as a result of said message, however, is entirely not the fault of the makers of facebook at all, nu-uh.
