I am, as may have been noted, slowly easing into Facebook, God knows why.  (By the way: should you wish to 'friend' me there, please do make certain I know you by whatever name you use there, I'm appalling with remembering names when not actually staring at the associated LiveJournal and its iconography.)

Evidently, there is a mechanism by which ( Read more... )

I should hope that *some* people on LJ can read. But the dramatic defriending? Eh. I think we'd all be better of if LJ didn't tell us about these little fits. *shrugs*

Yes, I was being a touch sarcastic with the Brown revolution. Bitter? Perhaps. Curious? Also.

It's a rather common name for Gordon to be able to ruin all by his lonesome.

Oh, it wasn't drama, really, and I shouldn't mind had it been. wemyss January 20 2010, 16:21:29 UTC
People are under no obligation to read things they don't like, after all. It did serve to remind me that a general amnesty policy wanted reiterating just now, though, particularly as I've a few newer friends here now (you being an admirable instance of 'em).

And never underestimate the power of the Ghoul of Kirkcaldy to ruin absolutely anything unaided. The man's a reverse Midas.

I do wonder what Silenus was doing in Fife. Or not doing?

Perhaps the newly elected Senator's impressive showing in Cosmo will rescue the family name.

No, no, that wouldn't at all be fair to say. wemyss January 20 2010, 17:59:54 UTC
It may even have been coincidental (I don't think). Again, I don't, actually, know what prompted it: whether the reference to Scott Brown (as opposed to the Scot, Brrrroun) - a reference that said 'I am NOT talking of him' - or the comment on the Rifqa Bary case; and if the latter, I don't know which of my positions were objected to. We must be fair. And, again, no one is obliged to read anything they don't care to read, after all.

You're going to get a fair bit of trade union schtick on my facebook.

... One of the things that I knew coming in that you were on the other side of the political divide to me! :D

*hugs* I've picked up one of those, too. Mostly it's comprised of random witty comments and some whinging about being ill, but you're welcome to friend if you like. It's under Susan Craft-Rendon.

It's one of my charm points ^^
It's under the full gamut of my names, Susan Beatrice Eneah Craft-Rendon, but the first and the last two should do it when you search.

Yes. Very odd. wemyss January 22 2010, 15:47:39 UTC
I can find you, but I can't do anything with it. Settings, perhaps?
