"Remove me from your friends list now!"
On LiveJournal, a user called paedophile starts to randomly friend people. The journal is much tamer than the username suggests and contains mostly quotes about feminism and pornography from famous people.

(Unless there's friends-locked stuff I'm unaware of.)

deathcabformel demands to be removed, demands again, then adds: "oh and if you decide not to I will find out your I.P address find out where you live and call the fucking cops."

And I just noticed this: "I will just get your journal deleted and your ip address banned from live journal altogether...ohh how its good to have connections." (I know for a fact that she has no such connections.)

Others attempt to clean up the mess.

She's right--her icon does make me go cross-eyed.

The IP address link just seems to lead to whatever page the browser is already on... n.n;

Bwahahaha. That's fantastic. I want paedophile to add me.

God, those "take me off your friends list!" people crack me up.

Eh, LJ is a paid service. Well, for some. We should have the abillity to kicknames off our user info page. It's just unpleasent seeing the name of a demented lunatic freakmonkey with a mad on for you on your user info page

Even if you could remove names from your user info page, any paid user could still find out who friends you by using the Directory. I'm firmly on the "stop whining, it's THEIR friends list" side of the list, though -- it's like a bookmark, for chrissakes.

So don't show "friend of", then.

Honestly, it's not that big a deal.

Funny you should post this - today I noticed my LJ account got friended by one of those fake journals that randomly add folks in hopes to annoy. And of course, people have already come in screaming at "her" to take them off. Seriously, what's the point? it's not like they can see your private posts, and you can't read them on your own friends list unless you actually friend them back.

I'm always amused to. I get random people commenting in my journal sometimes, and it doesn't bother me at all. Sometimes I wonder how they found me, but it's no big deal.

What makes this priceless is how she claims to have connections at LJ and will call the cops.

When i first started noticing strangers friending me, I did ask them how'd they find me, out of pure curiosity. It turned out as I suspected - most of them had just "followed me home" from either here or some of the places on LJ I sometimes post in. Though mostly F_W. ^_^

I love how [info]fingered bitches at length, then comes back on the last page to ask "am I your favourite?"

It's amazing how just randomly friending someone can make them go completely batshit insane. I'll never get over why that irks people so much.
