Friends list clearout

[compilerbitch]

I have just done a bit of a clearout of my friends list, removing a number of accounts for various reasons. Some were just dead accounts. Some were people I friended who didn't friend me in return, and/or who I've met and didn't hit it off with. They're gone.

I don't make many friends only posts anyway, it's pretty rare for me, so i'm not really denying people access to anything in particular. It's just that if I make an effort to be friendly to people and they choose not to reciprocate, frankly they can sod off. In the nicest possible way.

I have to admit, I don't quite understand the logic behind unfriending someone you've added when they don't add you back. If you enjoy reading their journal, isn't that independent of whether they enjoy reading yours? It's a different story when it seems like all their real posts are friends-only, of course. And the basic problem stems from LiveJournal's confusion of "friends" and "people whose journals you find interesting".

Yeah, I know. I was having a bad day to start with (third day of a monster migraine, so dangerous to be around at best unfortunately). It was a bit of a clearout -- partly people who were high volume but not that relevant to my interests, partly me being a PITA I think! :)
