(you would expect differently on a networking site... not on LI though). The solution we figured out after endless communication with their 'support' (right...) was to add a 2nd email address to your LI profile and have the invite sent to that address. Absurd, but then... LI is not interested in the opinion of their members. Earlier this year a contact of mine accidentally disconnected us – NO way to reconnect!!!

You can invite them back however. Just remember the invitation limit. I think the way it works is if you disconnect someone, they cannot invite you again. You can invite them back however.

I have removed a few people who were mean to me or just plain not good networkers. I'm not sure I want them to get a message though...if I wanted to do that, I would tell them myself why they are not worthy of sharing my network the "remove" button rules. And I like they can't reconnect too. I’m glad they have the remove connections as I don’t want to connect with that person or let others know that I approve of them.

Like a lot of sites, they focus on the joining & positive aspects, but don't explain the darker side. Yeah, Linkedin doesn’t do a great job of explaining the whole experience.

I wish LI would weigh in and let us know what the deal is... but your experience is good, so maybe it's not that bad afterall. Steve, awesome information.

As I expected, I accidentally disco'd a few people who I didn't want to. I simply sent them another invite, and we were once again connected.
