Dave_the_Great and the Friendslist of Death
Friending ettiquette on LJ has always confused me. Personally, I friend who I feel like friending and only ask first if I want an excuse to start a conversation with the person I'm friending. I can't see anything they don't let me see; such is the magic of friendslock and filters. No one's complained yet, so evidently my "friending policy" hasn't yet caused any major or irreparable rips in the fabric of space-time, damn the luck.
Along comesdave_the_great and his spate of randomly friending people without permission. Outrage ensues.
On the one hand, Dave's obviously doing this to get a rise out of people. On the other hand ... people are actually rising. Am I the only one who thinks it's sad that it takes so little to get the whining started? It's not even a challenge anymore.
