Note to flist: personal issues

[transemacabre]

I have just defriended a person that was on my flist for reasons that I would like to discuss more fully with all of you. This person, whom I friended because we had fannish interests in common, posted about their self-injury. This sort of thing has reached the breaking point with me. I am here for fannish enjoyment. I am not your counselor, I am not responsible for your well-being, and I am not going to sit here and have to look at post after post about y'all cutting, starving, drugging, or otherwise harming yourselves.

If you wish to post about such things, then you are welcome to do so in your own lj which is defriended from mine. I am tired of this drama and I simply am not going to put up with it anymore. I have personal problems of my own but I do not post them here for the public or my friends to see. If I have to be a bitch to protect myself from the pain you are causing yourself and others, then so be it. This lj is a very special happy space for me; this is where I go to play and relax and laugh. Do not take a dump in my goddamned sandbox.

That is, of course, assuming you are the fount of all wisdom and worldly advice… ;-D

LOL. Well, if you talk about a problem in a public place, such as your lj, or bring it up with me on AIM, I can only assume you are soliciting help. That I don't mind giving. But I don't much like just soothing someone's nerves over and over again. That's one of the reasons I don't post about my own personal problems here; if I need advice, I'll ask through AIM or email.
