Friends Rules
Jun. 16th, 2002 05:56 pmIn our lj interactions, we sometimes cross each other's invisible lines - what people will not tolerate. It's unfortunate, but an unavoidable result of using a space like lj. This is my attempt to outline what I will accept and what my invisible lines are, so that at least with my friends list, I have set out for people where not to step. This in no way is meant to hinder anyone's actions; if you disagree with the perimeters I have set here, you may leave.
My Friends Rules
1. Add-back: I have an "add-back" policy. I will ALWAYS add someone back, unless there is an extremely compelling reason for me not to do so. It irritates me when people take advantage of my policy; regardless, I consider it common courtesy to give everyone a chance.
2. Comments: I'm increasingly a horrible commentor. I apologize for this. But I do try to read all of your entries.
3. Removal: I would appreciate it if, when removing me, you left me a note so I am aware of the fact.
Reasons for Me to Remove You
1. You request it.
2. You are extremely rude to me. I understand that I tend to make posts people are compelled to argue with; and in the normal course of events, tempers can be heated. However, if I feel you have crossed the line and made a remark that was UNWARRENTEDLY rude for the situation, I may remove you.*
3. Backstabbing. If you have an issue with me, please bring it up with me in some direct fashion. If I see someone with a gripe about me that they have NOT brought to my attention, and they are spreading poison, I will remove that person immediately.*
4. Your journal is nothing but a troll journal; this may be a reason I don't even add you back in the first place.
5. If you remove me, I may remove you, depending on the situation.
* Will also result in automatic banning.
Please note: I am a female-to-male transsexual. If you find this out at a later date and squawk, this is not my fault. It's yours, because you didn't read the fine print.
