Hee! When I was first on LJ, a few nice people (who I refer to as my "founding friends" - You're one of them) friended me and introduced themselves and were very nice. Life was good.
So then, I friended a few journals of interest and introduced myself and asked if it was ok to friend. I wasn't sure of the etiquette and people had done so with me. Anyone, this one person then posted in her LJ about how it's stupid to ask permission to friend someone when all their public posts are by their very nature public and from now on she wouldn't be friending such people back unless she suddenly forgot their rampant stupidity. *blinky* I then made a special effort to leave annoyingly happy comments on all her posts for the next few months. *hums innocently*
Yes, I personally find it odd when people defriend a bunch of people and then tell people about in such a way as to make people feel they have to comment and praise the person lots and be attentive friends to be special enough to remain on the person's flist. *eyeroll*
