Dear Sir, Perhaps you should calm down? ([info]seda) wrote in [info]otf_wank,

A bit cold, and only two pages, but amusing.

[info]_zee_ posts a Greasemonkey script to [info]lj_nifty. Said Greasemonkey script goes here and allows you to view the "friends of" lists of people who have selected "Hide friends list.".

Some highlights!

Isn't that sort of a violation of their privacy and choice not to show it?

If I find you in a public place and zap you with my magic ray that instantly removes your clothes, you're going to feel that I've violated your privacy by stripping you naked in front of the whole world.

I do pay for my account after all, and if I want some privacy, I think I deserve it.

I think doing something that goes against the intention of Livejournal in such a way is clearly not honorable.

It's unethical at best, a potential Terms of Service violation at worst.


There's a couple jerks/morons out there who add everyone they possibly can, whether they know them or not, whether they really have permission or not. (I didn't realise you needed permission to friend someone these days, wow!)

Say you're driving along the road, and a pedestrian walks out in front of you. You're like, "Well, I'm where I'm supposed to be" and you run him over and keep on going. And you blame the pedestrian for walking out in the middle of the road. (You bastard! You looked at my friendsof! I kill you now with my big car!)

Clearly, having someone friend you is violating your privacy! Friending = rape.
