I was looking for an old entry in a live journal of a friend of mine. And then I saw a bunch of posts in that person's journal which I just don't *ever* remember seeing on my friend's list. It makes me sad to think that I might have been purposefully been excluded from seeing them... It wasn't anything that would bother, offend or even really concern me more than any other facet of said friend's life. I don't know. It really isn't my buisness what other people do with their journals, what they chose to tell me or tell other people, or whathave you.

I wonder if they might have been retroactively unsecured for me to have been able to see them at all, even on that person's main page...

I guess I'm just sad that someone that I think of as a friend would think that, I don't know, I'm not interested, or understanding or, what have you, really, to be allowed to see their feelings on certain subjects. Even if it isn't any of my buisness.

Greh. Maybe it is just all this bee killin' messing with my head. :/

There's a "backdate entry" option for posts that I've never used, but says "won't show up on friends view" next to it, so I assume the entry goes in your journal but not on your friends' friends pages.

I can understand why someone would do that, if s/he wanted something to be out there but not necessarily have everyone know? *shrug*

I hope it wasn't me. I wouldn't want to make you sad. I recently made some previously "private" posts public, because I decided I really have nothing to hide from anyone at all. They were mainly concerned with feelings I didn't feel like sharing just when I wrote them, or with things I wouldn't want my mother to see (I don't think she will ever both with reading my journal anyway).

That's one thing I suspected, since I didn't think it was possible to hide things from one person on your list and have them appear in your main journal. But now I'm not sad, so it is okay. I'm glad you were confident enough to be able to unsecure the stuff, though, even if most people probably won't even realize it was there :o

Glad we got that cleared up. I think there *is* a way to make different security "groups" to include or exclude certain people, but it sounds complicated.

It's really not all that complicated, and seems like an awfully handy thing to do... but the most handy part is the group view. I have a "people I actually read" group that I view instead of my plain friends page, so I can friend people to be polite and not have to actually read their drivel... ;^)

Have you actually CHECKED out some of your pseudo friends pages? WE POST *FUN* DRIVEL!

Poemy things about Pi and farting. What joy!

Oh, well, ::cough:: you're on the read page, for sure. Yeah, definitely...

Actually, I got tired of all the effort involved in discriminating that way a while ago, and just deleted everybody I don't actually like. But it's handy for people who are more polite than lazy.
