to stop your follow
move it to a "follower" folder.
to disallow their follow
move it to a "follow" folder.
to stop follows in both ways
move it to a "none" folder.
after all, to follow again
move it to a "follow" folder.

move it to a "remove" folder then remove it.
- Note: nothing will be happen when you only remove a bookmark, they should be restored when you restart the browser. We designed it purposely, that is, to remove your fllowers, move it to the remove folder, since users often remove bookmarks on a whom and they rarely remove their followers.

a URI for your default account, with Mr.Gemma, to chat. xmpp:teruakigemma@gmail.com#http://musubi.im/chat/
a URI for Mr.Smith, with Mr.Gemma, to chat. xmpp://smith@gmail.com/Musubi/teruakigemma@gmail.com/Home#http://musubi.im/chat/
That URI contains two peoples' Jabber ID. A meaning of Mr.Smith's JID is:
a jid for connecting to a account of smith@gmail.com, with a resource of "Musubi" smith@gmail.com/Musubi
You can connect multi resources simultaneously, like multi phones in your home.
a URI for Mr.Smith, with himself, to chat. xmpp://smith@gmail.com/1/smith@gmail.com/2#http://musubi.im/chat/
Like using a pair of phones to his both ears, he connects with resources "1" and "2" simultaneously. If you connect with yourself, the messages you send come back to you.
