Arrgh! I hate to do this, but I’m afraid my Friends Page has gotten far too unwieldy. I’m afraid I’m going to have to trim a bit. As I have stated before. this isn’t about who I like or don’t like, but more about relevance. I’ve only got so much time to spend reading LiveJournal and I need to use that as best I can. As I state in my profile:
Livejournal calls the page of other users’ journals that you read your “Friends” page. To me, that’s something of a misnomer. I regard that as my “Journals of Interest” page. This is a place for people’s journals I find interesting, relevant, or those of close friends. If anyone has ever added me and wondered why I didn’t reciprocate, or wondered why I stopped watching their journal, I want to assure you that it isn’t because I don’t like you or don’t want to be your friend or even that I’m a stuck-up bastard. It merely means that I just don’t find your journal particularly relevant at the moment or within my interests. This may change at a later date – I do actually review the journals of everyone who has me as a friend on a frequent basis. One thing I can assure you is that it is never due to any personal grudge. I can’t think of anyone on Livejournal whose journal I wouldn’t read because I have something against them personally.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by email.
