rusty_haloChrist, I don't get people.
Specifically, people who get angry at you for friending them. For the following reasons:
* They're under no obligation to friend you back.
* Stuff they post on LJ is public anyway, unless they friends-lock it.
* If I was a real stalker, I wouldn't friend them; I'd just go to their journal's URL and read. Or if I was a lazy stalker, I'd add them to an RSS aggregator so they couldn't see that I was watching them. A friends' list is really just LJ's own version of an RSS aggregator anyway, except LJ's method lets you see who is watching you.
* Therefore, the fact that I've added them to my FL is completely irrelevant, except in the sense that it saves me the time of having to load up their journal individually.
* If they don't want strangers reading their stuff, THEY SHOULDN'T POST IT PUBLICLY.
(This post brought to you by me wondering why people have to be such douchebags all the time.)
