marko_the_rat | Pre-emptive drama deflection

There once was a time that if a friendly-looking furry would friend me I'd automatically friend them back. These days I'm a lot more particular. Even so, it's not uncommon that I think to myself there's altogether too many people on my friends list. This sounds like I'm leading up to a purge and I admit it's on my mind. I've always been dissuaded in the past by my fear of stirring up drama among those who take defriending personally and I'm not saying that that won't be the case this time.

It's only a whimsical notion
To fly down to Rio tonight
I probably won't fly down to Rio
But then again I just might

If I do defriend anyone, I want them to understand that it's not because I hate them. Far from it. More likely I'm not getting anything from their LiveJournals and, judging from the lack of response to my own posts, they're not getting much from mine. It will just make it easier for me to keep up with those who are left. Of course, anyone's welcome to follow my LJ. Most of my posts are unlocked anyway so likely you won't miss out on much.
