But yes, LJ should totally adopt the "like" button. Granted, it would probably lead to fewer actual replies, so I'm sure after a month we'd all be sick of it and wishing for its death. ;)
Also - I love the range of supportive comments she got. Typical Facebook idiocy. Granted, I'd have probably died had you had someone reply and say "I am totally submitting this to STFUWhiner!" Not that there actually is a STFUWhiner blog, but there would be in a perfect world. And Sakura would be on it!
I actually feel sorry for her, because she clearly seems to be suffering from a mental illness rather than being actively malicious. I've struggled with bipolar depression and I can see myself in her.
That's a new idea for me...I just thought she was terminally self-centered as a character flaw, not as an illness. But I guess if that's how she sees the world, it's a disability, isn't it? Thank you for the insight!
I know an artist who knows her fans and has them wrapped around her finger. She can totally say something that is just ambiguous enough to make people feel sorry for her. She appears to be totally be oblivious to about how people will react, but she knows. And she says things like that ALL THE TIME to get support from her fans when she feels insulted.
Not sure if Sakura is going to turn her fans on the guilty party, though. The artist I spoke of will then give names, and the angry mob moves in for the Internet kill. A person smarter than me and I managed to reveal the true character of this artist, but it took forever. And lots of proof. She had emotionally hurt a lot of her rival artists before we were able to stop her, though.
I feel Sakura knows exactly what she's doing. She isn't sincere about people deleting her - she's intentionally being ambiguous to rile up her friends so they'll give her tons of support while growling at Minty for her. While Sakura appears to be innocent and sweet.

Oh Sakura, typical example of Facebook passive-agressiveness. She is horrible!
(Clearly horrible, if anything other than Cooking With Superman draws me to comment, haha!)

The "like" button just might be the only feature I genuinely, um... like about Facebook. I'd be happy if LJ adopted it!
