WTF?

[phantom_wolfboy]

Wait, wait, wait. Let me see if I understand this:

It's rude to write in your own LJ about what interests you? Even if other people are writing about the same subject, even if it's "clogging" someone else's friendslist with many posts, how is it rude?

What precipitated this?

[phantom_wolfboy]

Somebody's comment on somebody else's pre-Nanowrimo whining. Pissed me right off, it did.

sounds fascinating - got a link?

Of course. You're supposed to write about what interests them! You don't think this journal is for _you_, do you?

Re: WTF?

[phantom_wolfboy]

I wonder sometimes, man, I really do.

But of course! By les pathetiques logic.

I blame "Full House," for the wide misappropriation of the word, "Rude."

I'd have a real simple answer to that one. If you don't want to read what I write, stop reading what I write. I'm pretty sure I didn't hold a gun to anyone's head to make them put me on their friends' list.

Complaining about what you yourself choose to read is what seems rude to me, not writing what you want to write in your own journal.
