LJ-purge. More to come.

theweaselkingI was offline for a move yesterday, and I came back to find more than five hundred entries waiting for me. There's been a purge of people, and more coming. And unlike everyone else who does this, I'm going to say right now that yes, you SHOULD be offended, I'm not reading your posts any more because you personally are a very bad person. So there. That's why I dropped Neil Gaiman - he eats puppies. It's true.
And now, the most tasteless costume ever. I love it:

Date: 2007-09-21 03:52 pm (UTC)There reaches a point where even multiple views won't help: There simply are people I always skip, and so dropping them into a different view won't fix anything. Then I'll just ignore them there, too.

Date: 2007-09-21 04:22 pm (UTC)That being said, my journal is hardly entertaining enough to be read anyway. I'm a very boring person, honest.
And is the fact that I laugh at that costume make me a bad person?

Date: 2007-09-21 04:39 pm (UTC)A broom handle with a broken bottle-neck attached works too, but there are safety issues with carrying around broken glass...
...also, horrible. Which is not inherently a bad thing to aim for in a costume.

She managed to get me fired a few months later.

Date: 2007-09-21 09:07 pm (UTC)I'm having trouble visualizing that, possibly since I've never seen birth control pills distributed in anything except flat foil sheets with 21 or 28 little plastic bubbles on them, one per pill. What does such a dispenser look like?
Could be worse... she could be wielding tampon nunchuks.

Date: 2007-09-22 05:02 am (UTC)But for the record, next time you're offline for a day or so: You do know how to filter for *only* RSS Feeds, or only communities, or only individual journals when you read, yes? I find that I can catch up on what I care about and skim more easily using this method.
It's easier to break a backlog up into chunks that way.

Date: 2007-09-22 01:23 pm (UTC)Splitting the 500+ entries over 10 hours into chunks makes it easier to catch up on any given piece, and that's okay, but it's still 500 entries in 10 hours. That's still too many for me to want to catch up on, and so I dropped about 50 accounts and feeds that update regularly and that I find myself skipping fairly often.

Date: 2007-09-22 01:40 pm (UTC)Nope.
The method I linked to explains how to view *only* the individual journals, or *only* the communities, or *only* the RSS feeds, etc.
You can, I suppose, create a custom group with only the individual journals you've friended in it, but that seems a roundabout way to do it, to me. The easier way is to simply add ?show=p to the end of your URL (http://theweaselking.livejournal.com?show=p) if you wish to see only the personal journals.

OK. Well, that I can't argue with. I do it differently--sometimes if I'm gone for a day or a week I come back and catch up only on personal journals, and let the communities fend for themselves. I thought that such an approach might work for you too, but if it doesn't, more power to you.

Date: 2007-09-22 11:40 pm (UTC)I'm surprised and honoured that my stuff is not skippable. For a given value of honoured, anyway.
