Immature? That's me, baby.

So there's this person who asked to be taken off my friends list. I declined. She said I'd have to answer for it [or words to that effect]. Then she craeted a new LJ. Which I found. And friendified, yes.

Immature of me? Probably, yes, but when I get threatened and talked down to, I tend to get pissy, and when I'm pissy, I act petty. And once again, if you have a public journal, you should be prepared for people to read it. I read LJs through my friends page, and I refuse to add yet another link to my collection just because you can't handle knowing that I read your journal.

And yes, actually, I do act like this in real life. You know why? Because I was raised in the conviction that you're allowed to speak your mind, and that if people are rude to you and [willfully?] misinterpret your words, you are not obliged to be considerate of their feelings anymore. As for my net-time, I'm online at work, okay? I spend about an hour in short breaks doing private things, and a couple of hours after work chatting and surfing. In total, It's not really that much.

And I do have friends. I count my net friends as real friends, because they are, and I may not have many of them, but at least I know they're real friends, who like me for who I really am.

Also note, Oh Exalted One, that anyone can see people's friends lists, okay? I didn't have to pose as your friend to get your new addy, I just looked at their profiles.

I agree with you. *shakes head*

C'mon, if people are *reading* my journal, I'm happy.

And adding someone to a friend's list means you think their journal is interesting enough to bother with. Hey, it's a compliment! Geesh.

Well, I think she knows it's not a compliment in her case. <g> Seriously, I put a number of peopl on my friends page to check that they weren't bashing me/us again [as they some of them have before, in entries that're now friends-only], and at least two people havegone into a snit about it.

I know it's petty, but god, how can she not understand the principle of a public journal? Jeez.

Shutting up now. I'm really bitter and I don't want to drag you down with me. Or be accused of tryaing to sway people.
