I found in my F-list an entry that listed a bunch of people that the writer wanted to drop her off from their friends list. Öööö... Okay? As I was one of them, I gladly dropped her. It seems like she hadn’t written anything interesting not-friends-locked on a while, anyway. But what really is the point? Don’t people understand that friending is just a way to read peoples’ public entries more conveniently? And since you can hide your “fried of”-list, it really doesn’t matter. Your friends-locked entries will be seen only the people that *you* determine as friends. You could even liberally friend back all the people that have friended you, and then make a filter that would allow only your “real” friends to see your posts, anyway.

On the other hand, it might be nice to inform all the hang around-people, that hey, I’m going to friends-lock my journal from now, you might as well drop me. But as that was now not the case, I don’t get it. What was she trying to say? “I don’t want you to read my public posts? I feel like you make me look bad?” What?

Meybe there are people who keep this huge bookmark folder of all the lj's they read, and are like "Ha! I read them and they don't know it since they can't see mee!" Um, public posting, anyone?

Anyway, when LJ announced that the striked/dead lj's wouldn't stay hanging around your friendslist anymore, I objected. To my comment I got a comemnt that said that "I wan't the dead journals to disappear because I'm too lazy to remove them by hand and the names staying shows all how lazy-ass I am.". Sure. Right..

"I wan't the dead journals to disappear because I'm too lazy to remove them by hand and the names staying shows all how lazy-ass I am."

Uh. Eh? How does this person manage to update his/her journal :D I usually removed dead LJs only during some bigger spring cleaning because frankly, I did not care that much that they were around. After all, they did not show up on my friends list anymore, so what did I care if they were shown on my profile? Weirdness.
