Hi Paul,

We changed some of the underlying services that process followings
semi-recently to remove the friendship check before saving -- the check
itself could prevent the follow or unfollow event from actually occurring,
resulting in the user's original intention never being serviced. If you
unfollow a user that's already unfollowed, the result will be the same:
still not following. Likewise, if you follow someone you're already
following the result will still be that you're following the user. Issue a
follow and then an unfollow and the unfollow will win. Logic all works the
same, but we won't prevent you from taking the action if the relationship
exists/doesn't exist like we had in the past.
