Wow, get right.

Well, it looks as though my post pissed off two people so much they unfriended ME:

darke -- I don't quitte know what caused the break, but I think I suspect what is is. Oh well. Spilt milk & all.

blu_ghoti -- Actually, I'll miss Brian a great deal. I enjoy his posts on comics and will still read his journal, given his permission. I'm curious as to why I bumped him away. Guess I'll need to ask.

Anybody else care to unfriend me if you don't like what I say? It only gets worse from here.

Without getting into the whole "if you unfriend me, you don't like" me debate, I think it says more about them than it does about you, assuming that your lyrics posting was the reason why they unfriended you.

I can understand if somebody was outwardly slanderous or biggoted but the whole "you will comprimise for me" blackmail via the friendslist is just childish.

not your loss

[vianegativa.livejournal.com]

Regardless of LiveJournal, I'm sorry for your loss. Someday I'd like to know why we can't communicate, but frankly I don't think I'll ever get that answer.

As for "having the slightest clue", you've been pretty damn effective at keeping ANY personal information from me, so getting surly because I'm not aware of your motivations is a pile of crap. If your timing on removing me from your friends list is unfortunate and has nothing to do with my post, how can I know that? I'm locked out of even hearing basic news, so if it seems I've made a wild suppostion, you can deal with it. Don't expect vast silences on your part to be answered with compassion and understanding.

I know about your surgeries, and I know about your losses, and I'm sorry for each in turn. Do as you will, but I wish you well none the less.

I don't read all the folks I know. I don't have the time. I also don't keep a group of seperate friends lists.

Sometimes you have to go with what you need to. I know that right now, one of the folks you mentioned is going though a really rought patch as one of his longest known and dearest friends just died so please cut him some slack, 'K? I think I have an idea how hard it hits so maybe he's revising things as he needs to, not a biggie. After all, if you think you can offend him you don't know him nearly as well as you should and I know you do. IT would be something else.

Look, Rob... allow me to be blunt, and this is not directed at you in a smarmy way.

We're speaking of Alex I believe, and to be direct I think its probably for the best that he unfriended me. I'd like to cut him some slack, but frankly since he has locked me out of his journal I can't provide any support for his friend's passing, or for his surgical troubles earlier this year. It has been by his choice, which is fine, but I'm constantly amazed at the lengths to which he has gone to prevent me from hearing about his life, even though I've had nothing but well wishes for him.

I've tried to mend the friendship, in very real and potent ways. Always, Alex steps away into obscurity while trying to keep tabs on me for whatever reason. Fine. I'm quite done with that.

Frankly, I have better things to do than to keep asking Alex politely to have some kind of friendship. I'm sorry he's hurting, and I'll tell him so myself, but I'm no longer in the mood to chase a unicorn.

List, not Life

Well, darke delisted me on accident several months ago. As fer swomp, he's his own counsel on these matters. Don't let it get you down if people delist you.
