Sigh

If you don't want me to see an LJ entry, don't post it where I can see it, leave it there for half an hour so I get a good look _then_ change the friends group on it.

It just makes me irritated and paranoid.

Especially when it wasn't about me, but was something I could do something about.

changing friends groups...

I tend to do that a lot - I don't know what specifically you are talking about, but I have a bad habit of exploding about something on LJ. Post the entry. Explode a bit more in comments. Realise I have said more than I meant to. Feel bad. Don't want to upset people. Close down the friends group to a smaller one. Vent a little more. Calm down. Realise I have just called someone 'demented little trogodylyte' and threatened to desecrate the corpse of Mother Theresa.

Then I take it private. I don't like deleting entries, but if I've said something potentially hurtful or damaging I tend to not like to leave them kicking around. Occasionally I take things down to edit them as well if I have kicked off more than I meant to. I don't like my words floating around unless they are an accurate representation of how I feel.

If you ever find I've removed an entry that you wanted to comment on, or want to say something about - e mail me - and tell me what you want.

I always reply to e mail if I can.

I often forget to change the privacy settings when I say nasty or private things.

I then go and check the journal entry, and notice the lack of the friends icon, and go change it. There is often a few minutes gap between that (longer if a server goes down or I'm particularly busy) and in that time there is always a chance that someone who I don't want reading it get to see what I wrote... I'm sure I'll learn.

But anyqway, my point is that it may not be done on purpose.

There are many things which I restrict certain people from reading , not because it's about them, but because I don't feel comfortable tellong them these things.
