He hasn't actually done anything be befriend a boatload of folks for no discernible reason. No grounds for a banning from LJ that I can see. I just am not interested in him/her seeing my friends posts.

This is where I am, too. He can't see my locked posts, he doesn't comment, he's not cluttering my friends page and his username isn't offensive. I honestly don't see a reason to bother finding out how to ban him. (Which is not to say that those of you who want more control over your friend-of list than I do are overreacting, just that this is how I thinkabout the mass friending stuff. They want attention, so why give it to them?)

Thing is, all sorts of nutbags can be reading your public posts already.

This, too. Anyone in the world could get to your public posts; whether they have you friended or not is immaterial. The important thing is who you friend back.

I know that. But it's one thing if they just happen to click by on random or something. It's creepier to have evidence of an actual creep, y'know?

I read plenty of journals that aren't in my friends list, though. And I don't think that's a rare phenomenon. The ones I keep right on top are in my friends list -- the others I read in larger chunks, and all to themselves.

It's easy to develop a feeling of privacy, but it's so not there.

Okay, I just looked at my friends list, and saw a bunch of usernames I don't recognize. Anyone wanna give me a hint as to the username you peeps are worried about?

Eh, I don't really care until he comments, since I doubt those journals are used for reading,or, really, anything besides friending people and seeing who gets annoyed.

(Now watch someone write a script to leave asinine comments in 600 journals at once. I know there's LJ spam now.)

hm thats the cause mine is friends only ( had a sorta troll some time ago .. ) I think they should make it passwort protected or something if someone wishes it.

-shamesless plugging ahead- Still need a betareader .. thought i´d post the summary so that maybe someone gets interested...

Untitled as yet

Do you ever wanted to meet an Alien? I as sure didn't beg for it, but you know when you go to LA to work in the Film business the most bizarre things tend to happen. Or so I have heard. Anyway this encounter sure killed my whole life. I mean literally. Now I'm constantly on the run trying to lead a somewhat normal existence. But my old life doesn't leave me and soon everything gets complicated again. If only the guys who are after us would understand we have no idea what Sam is or where he is from. I'm so tired of running for my life and just want to be ordinary, you know? I simply want to be good old Kayla again.

It's something like antielgorgo, Jilli.

(looks through fl again)

Oh. Huh. Well, I'm in the habit of friends-locking anything even the slightest bit personal, so I'm not to worried.

I know there's no such thing as privacy on the internet, but I've always felt like there's a certain semi-privacy in the fact that I'm not saying anything on my LJ that should be of interest to anyone who doesn't know me--it's all gestational hypertension and quizzes and memes with the occasional bit of politics and baseball. You'd think that'd be too boring for total strangers to bother reading.

Of course, it's true that this particular stalkery creep probably isn't actually reading all these journals.

Well, pooh. I didn't place in the Erma Bombeck Writing Competition.

But go me for submitting something. I guess.
