amen brother. I was fairly aware of that possibility before, due to similar happennings between two LJ-only (at the time) friends I had. I became reasonably good buddies with one of them and watched as he got castigated on LJ during a brief break-up. Both he and she realized that IF they were going to post personal happennings on LJ concerning their relationship, they were going to have ignore the comments and responses. People were awfully quick to jump into the middle of something they knew nothing about. After their (amicable) breakup, both had the sense to be completely impersonal about that fact. They mentioned they broke up and all the hounds of hell couldn't get them to post about it. I learned from them and after moving in with my (now) husband have been quite firm about NEVER posting my troubles with him. Luckily for me, most people never commented on our relationship in LJ - evven the people who knew us both IRL. I am so glad my friends are smarter than that - and more real!
