FUCK!

If bad language offends you, then get the fuck off my friends list.

(I say that because I actually had someone bitch at me for swearing.  On my own private friends only LiveJournal.  On the internet.)


I'm in one of those horrible moods that won't go away anytime soon.  I hate when I'm in this kind of mood and can't snap out of it.  It was a long day, but my ADIML post being deleted without warning by some power-mad-moderator for violating some incredibly anal, over-the-top rule certainly didn't help.  (And bear in mind I can in fact be pretty anal about following rules myself.)  Just for the record, the post probably got deleted because I said "60 something pics" on the LJ cut instead of "60 pics," apparently that's another new rule that wasn't there before (I'd been in that community for about two years).

Anyway, in the last few months or so LiveJournal in general has become a bigger and bigger pain in the ass and hassle more than something fun and cathartic and healthy.  Especially since some of my closest friends never even post anymore, and my friendslist has become cumbersome and bloated more than anything else.  So I cleaned out my friendslist (basically deleting people who never post anyway).  I'm not even sure I want to hang around anymore, I might just delete this journal altogether.  My life generally sucks enough nowdays that even LiveJournal doesn't help.  Which is really saying something.

Off I go to get breakfast before my stomach goes and fucking digests itself.
 
 
Current Mood: pissed off

Just wanted to let you know that though I'll support you in whatever decision you might end up making, I'll miss you dreadfully if you leave.

So that's why I kept looking at the community and couldn't find your post! My Thailand post in adayinmylife got deleted a while back. It turned out some psycho mod was deleting posts for no reason. That mod is gone now though, and the remaining mods are much better. Try reposting (or contacting bobbysan or one of the mods - it would be a shame if the community won't be able to see your post.

And hope you don't quit Lj! I read every single one of your posts.

Thing is, those new rules are so stupid (as I said, my post probably got deleted because I said "60 something pics" on the LJ cut instead of "60 pics" and had one link to a pic that wasn't related to the ADIML directly, but it was for reference and the pic was art that I did, sitting on my own site, it wasn't spam or anything). Those rules are so stupid I'm not sure I want to even try arguing them. I mean they're the mods, the rules got broken as stupid as they are, so whatever I say I'm in the wrong and they're in the right.

I did contact one of the mods, but it wasn't bobbysan. He wasn't a jerk about it but he wasn't exactly not a jerk either.

Anyway it's still on my own LJ, so I guess it wasn't a total loss.

I am relieved I survived the cull.

I think you should repost it. As you have it in your LJ, it is a simple enough copy and paste job.

I'm not offended, and I agree with you that the ADIML post being deleted was completely stupid and unnecessary, and you have every reason to be angry and frustrated about it.

I hope that you won't leave LJ altogether, since it's the only way I get to find out what is happening in your life. There isn't much I can really do, either for you or for my other friends who are hating their lives a lot lately, but I'm here to read/listen and to let you know that it does matter and that I do care. That's about all that I have, for you or for anyone else who does matter to me, but I don't want to lose what little I actually can do.

I hope you don't go. Although I don't always get your posts, I like reading them and I enjoyed the ADIML post.

Hope it gets better soon, hon.

I dunno if I'm reading you right, but that sounds pretty hyper-anal; the rule you broke I mean

I just don't bother with communities any more:
if they aren't inundated with stupid people, they've got stupid rules
