I will soon post about some nonsense raised in someone else's LJ. Meanwhile...

...I am sorry, but I have to conclude that when someone cannot see the difference between ship "wanks", to use the elegant language of modern fandoms, and a serious, even if angry, debate about Classical culture between people who know something about it, I'm afraid that it's time to defriend.

ADDED
Especially given the extraordinary amount of self-importance that comes across in the response. Sorry, but I do not feel enormously privileged just to have been admitted to your court. You've got your rules and I've got mine, but nobody died and made you Emperess.

Well, no, this person had her points (that is why I friended her in the first place), but I guess this was one of my more inevitable break-ups - there always was a certain amount of unshared territory and unspoken compromise. I spent months before I friended her wondering whether I should, and months after trying to alter my comments to suit her. That is a recipe for disaster.

Ah, yeah, that's different.

I tend to lurk when I find someone intresting but I detect their dislike or scorn. i just never comment.
