Friends and Facebook Friends

I like Facebook. I spend some time there each day, catching up with friends. I've managed to stay away from the various games/pyramid-schemes. I don't want to join your Mafia, become a Knight, Farm, Garden or run a Cafe. Still, I love how FB has been able to connect me with others.
Almost all of my friends are people I know in Real Life(tm). Early on, I added a few people who befriended me through common interests, but I'm pretty much not looking for new friends on FB.
But now I have a problem. What if I just can't stand to read the FB posts of one of my Real Life friends?
Does Facebook friendship eclipse real friendship? Can I safely "unfriend" my friend and remain friends?
I'm not sure what I'm going to do...
