But you were told by Mr Tumnus what was in that post, were you not? And there are lots of entries which you cannot read. I gave you access to nearly all of my filters which is why you can see some deeply personal things. I apologise if you think I'm keeping secrets from you.
No, Stephen did not say anything about a post. I don't know with complete certainty that the post is there. I'm just fairly certain that it is.
Have you seen the people who added you? One of them writes eloquently about Muslim issues. Another writes about popular culture from a literary point of view. If anything, I've done you a favour by introducing you to them.
I want people to friend me if they have a genuine interest in what I have to say. I don't want people to friend me simply because you asked them to do so.
Interesting question for you: why do you think this is freaking out Stephen so much that he'd call Elphaba? Do you not think that there's something slightly perverse and overprotective about this, especially considering his reputation with females on LJ?
Again, I am not aware of Stephen speaking to anyone about this. Perhaps he has, thus making your plan successful. If so, good job! It was still an awfully boring joke, though.
Why would you think people consider you to be an idiot?
I just want people to realize that I know why they added me.
It's okay. You don't have to lie to cover Stephen's lack of integrity. We already know all about it.
I'm not lying about anything. I haven't spoken to Stephen since this morning.
But why must this be framed in terms of Mr Tumnus? Do you not have qualities in your own right which might make you an interesting person?
The reason that people friended me was because they wanted to help you annoy Stephen, that's why. And yes, I do, but I don't really use my LJ too often. I've never been good at keeping journals.
How would they form a genuine interest unless they read your LJ? How would they come to your LJ except through me?
Maybe they could eventually become interested in what I say, but right now, their sole reason for friending me is because you told them to do so.
You make it sound like the joke is over.
I don't see where it could possibly be going, but okay.
They know as well. They added you because I told them to.

The fact that he asked them to friend you does not imply that they have no interest (or have insincere interest) in what you have to say. The two aren't mutually exclusive. And if all those people had stumbled upon your journal by chance and then friended you, you still wouldn't have any assurance that they did so because of a genuine interest in what you have to say.
This stubborn insistence that people have a genuine interest in you is just narcissism. It's almost as bad as Stephen. Get over yourself.

True. But right now, I know that their initial reason for friending me is because he asked them to.

No, I couldn't care less if people on the Internet have an interest in me. If they didn't pay attention to me at all, believe me, I would not feel the slightest bit hurt. And yeah, maybe I shouldn't care about why they friend me. But seriously, I think that anyone who just follows idiotic instructions is, well, an idiot.

No, you don't know what their initial reason for friending you was. You have a suspicion about it, not knowledge.
But seriously, I think that anyone who just follows idiotic instructions is, well, an idiot.
vox_diabolica isn't an idiot, though, so it's not likely that he would want to befriend idiots on livejournal. If his friends aren't idiots, then there's no way they would have blindly followed any allegedly idiotic instructions. It follows, then, that those friends of his who did follow the instructions must have done so for their own reasons, and the fact of their having followed the instructions is merely coincident with their having acted from their own motives.

Fine. And if they friended me for any other reason than to piss off Stephen, then I don't mind them being here. I just think that it's a lame joke to friend someone simply to piss off someone else.

Perhaps you are correct. However, in this one case, I would suggest that you are wrong.

Umm...okay.
Given that you have access to my posts, you'll probably find out sooner than waiting for Tumnus to call Elphaba.
Interesting. And Elphaba is who exactly?

And so you are wrong.
