don't delete it! don't let a couple flamers ruin your lj. i love reading it every day! i think *you* should defriend the people who start the flame wars...not that other people should defriend *you*.
I'm seriously considering it. I'm hearing all sorts of shit I'd rather not be hearing, and so I'm seriously considering just putting the ix-nay on all of it.
What a holy bunch of crap. I want you to know that what you write about makes me think every single day and I would miss it if you stopped!!! I feel honored to have met you and to get to be your friend!!!!!!! Those comments pissed me off. You should go and defriend all offenders. You are too fabulous to take that crap.
ok i just went and read all of those and seriously, i would just unfriend and block the people who were doing that. it really looked like someone said something, realized it was fucked up, apologized, and then got jumped. i really hate the internet sometimes... this is why i'm not trying to friend everyone out there, you know? because there are some STUPID people out there starting fights in the name of things i believe in that really just make all the people who are fighting the good fights look bad.
so anyways, cut and block. they need to take their bullshit to their own arena. xo
Yeah, I tend to be quite loose with the friend-ing. I figure if someone wants to read me, then cool. It's not like a symbol of lifelong friendship to me, you know. But nonetheless, if people are going to cause shit I'm not interested.
yeah i understand. i'm just paranoid. you just don't want your livejournal to become thunderdome and doing what you have to do to keep it from becoming that is totally just.
if livejournal friends were lifelong friendships we'd all be pretty sad individuals.
Oh, to hell with that shit! This is YOUR house. YOUR rules. Don't move out just 'cos you have a little fire in the living room. The flame war will burn itself out eventually. Don't feel like you have to respond, either; the sooner folks move on, the better.
That's the thing - if it was my house, I could kick them out and close the door. But this is the internet and I want my journal to be a public place where information and ideas are exchanged. But holy fuck! Do I have to institute a banning policy like I'm some fucking bigshot?
