From:*laughs* Very true.
Even with the list I have now, I'm only reading regularly about fifty of the LJs and leave the rest to skim on weekends, which obscurely makes me feel even more guilty.
I get it. LJ makes you feel guilty very easily. Personally, I tend to feel guilty when people friend me and I don't friend back. I mean, yeah, everyone knows LJ says you're under no obligation, but there is a strong guilt factor there. (With a social group like fen, that are spread over countries and timezones, snubbing and guilt-trips is the most effective way of making everyone play nice. I get why fandom makes peple guilty, I just don't like it.)
Generally, if I don't friend you back? It's because you're not in my fandoms, you talk a great deal about your personal life which I know nothing about, I don't quite get your sense of humour, or the other big one, you don't use correct capitals and punctuation.
(I'm weirdly anal about this last one. The lack of capitals bugs me, really bugs me. (Almost as much as people who post without leaving an extra line between their paragraphs.) Of my entire FList, there are only two people who get an exception from this strict capitalisation rule. Both are highly talented authors that I love to read and people that I find interesting. However, one has only stopped using her shift key within the last month, and the other has only been added a few days ago (before that I was too wary of the non-capitals thing, and was just checking her LJ regularly), so if it does start to drive me batty, I will unfriend them, with a little note to let them know why. *shruggs* Yeah, well, everyone in fandom has Issues about something.)
I can't help thinking that LJ would be easier if other people couldn't see who had friended them. I know it sounds weird, but it people couldn't publicly see the listing of your FList, and if your LJ Friends management page just showed who you'd friended, it would work. People wouldn't get bent out of shape about being dropped or picked up on a list (which is basically about convenicence of reading several different sites, not about how much you personally like the person) if it wasn't so obviously drawn to their attention.
Sure, you'd probably still have people who worked themselves up into a knot about it and compulsively checked everyone's friends page, but those are the people who'll always find some reason to announce a vendetta against other fen.
