a question of manners...

timepiececlockWhat is the polite way to proceed in LJ when someone you liked defriended you and you haven't any earthly idea why?
Do you fret about it, and re-examine your recent entries, scouring for what you think might have turned this person off of you?
Do you shrug it off and say "Your loss, puny fool!" ?
Do you stalk their journal and bombard them with comments without ever actually getting around to asking them, in hopes that by reminding them ferociously that you exist, they'll friend you again?
Do you email them and say "Why did you dump me, when we were so great together?!?"
What does one do?
Since you probably don't spend a lot of time reading your own journal on their friends list, does it really cosmically matter?
(Observe my fatalistic but pretty icon!)
On the other hand, I've seriously slowed down in adding people. So all the lovely folks who friended me in the last month or two, I'm not ignoring your existence, I'm just suffering overload.
What does "meta" mean?
ETA: i've settled on my proper response.
your loss, puny fool!
but i'll still read your journal anyway. cause... pretty fic, and uh...you're nice, and smart. yeah. whatever.

For whatever it's worth
Date: 2003-04-04 07:56 am (UTC)I wouldn't mind if someone took me off their friends list, because my entries are anything but interesting and probably not something they're in the mood for an a regular basis. It's not really a personal matter, as far as I'm concerned; it's a question of frequency and regularity.
Then again, I'm relatively new to LJ, and my opinion might change overtime. Also, I'm still pretty ignorant as far as LJ etiquette is concerned; I'm trying to learn by observing.
/end 2 cents.
