A slightly different Friends policy
Due to recent events in which it became somewhat clear that a person on my friends list either sent a synopsis of my friends-only posts or the text of the posts themselves to a third party who had no business seeing them, I have trimmed the list of people who have friends priviledges.
The list of people who currently are on the friends list are people I have either met in person or have developed a relationship with online. Please do not be offended if you aren't on this list, and feel free to unfriend me if you chose, I won't be offended. Really, I won't.
I will still post my research on this LJ in public posts, if you want to keep track of it and not have me as a friend, Bloglines is a great way to do it.
I have also changed the comment policy so that if you aren't on my friends list, the comment is screened until I unscreen it. This is in case of an unplesant occurance, which hasn't occurred, but it seemed a better way to handle comments that restricting them to friends only. I know that people enjoy the research posts and like to comment on them and I wanted to give people who weren't on my friends list the chance to do that, while limiting the impact of those with malicious intent.
I wish that I hadn't had to do this, but it was probably bound to happen sooner or later.

Do you know for sure now that it was somebody on your f-list that leaked, and not some other way?

I know how betrayed a person can feel about that sort of thing as I've not only had it happen to me but to others as well. I understand why you've chosen to be more private.

Hang in there, and don't let this get you down - there are definately more important things in life. :)

Have you considered a filter group? That might help you out some.

So for today its a trimming of the friends list and comtemplating what filters I'd actually use and catagories that people would fall into.

I'm truly sorry you were betrayed by a 'friend.' Here's to feeling better soon.

B. Thank you for keeping me. Your work is fascinating and impressive. I always learn something from your posts and I am always pleased to hear about your triumps.

Thanks for keeping the research public anyhow. Good luck for this all working out.

I guess my rule of thumb is if I wouldn't say it out loud to anyone then I won't type it online. And you've probably learned that one as well if you lost your job that way.

I hope I can be reconsidered for your friends list when the time comes... in the mean time good luck and healthy baby thoughts.
