I trimmed my list. (And sent off appropriate notes to those that I felt obliged to remove, for one reason or another.) It's sad, because I really liked those folks, but *TIME AND TIME AGAIN* there's involvement with a LJ drama. That seems counterproductive. This whole "you're friends with X, so you can't be friends with Y" nonsense is right out of grade 2. So, forget it. I'm sure I'll be adding some back later (If they'll have me). but for now, I'm just not dealing with it. Lakme pulled that silly stuff with folks I liked reading last time around. I still sometimes wonder if she ever confessed in her journal to her colossal mistake, and character assassination. I figure the current hot air will stop blowing in a few days.... but it seems its the same group of people every time. I wonder if a more permanent decision isn't more reasonable. A shame so many of them are so likeable. A couple of rotten apples wreck the party for everyone...(If I'm allowed to mix cliche & metaphor... it's my journal. I'll say yeah.)

Cliche' & metaphor makes great pie where I come from so why not? Sorry to hear that things are in the wind again, hope it blows over soon. *hug*

Don't even get me started on this one. *sigh*

Part of me feels left out, because I haven't been horridly hounded in an LJ exclusive drama my entire year here...
Another part of me wants to be dragged into one so I can fully ignore it and piss everyone off (most people don't seem to like those who back away from the fire rather than fan it)...

And another, bigger part of me, is glad that I read the journals of such agreeable, cool people, and if there's drama, I usually catch one side, and try to be as supportive as I can, without trying to butt in like an asshole.

Anyway, yeah, a rotten apple party sure is mushy and gross. Bad mushy, not smothered in kisses and hugs mushy. You know what I mean.

Don't feel too left out! I'm glad you haven't had to deal with that sort of hubbub. I've tried dealing with it a few times before, but it's generally not worth the time or effort expended.

I hope you manage to keep on being supportive and friendly, and not butty-inny. :) I'm actually foussing on the latter this time.

yeah. good mush good, bad mush bad. I read you loud and clear.
