This journal is friends only, comment if you'd like to be added.

Okay, I've been getting spammed in the comments section a lot lately, so if you are interested in friending me, you'll have to send me a private message from now on, I have to disable comments to stop the dozens of spam messages I receive on a daily basis here.

Why the decision to switch it to friends only?

I made the decision because for the past six or so months, my journal has been getting riddled with mean and nasty comments from people who seem to enjoy picking on other Livejournal users. Because I already had my journal set up to screen anonymous and non-friend comments pretty much since I had my journal, no one else ever saw any of those comments, and I'd just go ahead and delete them.

Lately there seemed to be a bit of a surge in the inflammatory comments again, and after watching a few of my other friends get hit with a barrage of these remarks and go "friends only", I figured that before anybody attacks me online, I'll lock my posts so they'll be viewable only by those on my friends list. It's something that I had hoped that I wouldn't have to resort to, but it ended up being something that I had to do in order to protect my journal.

Anyway, don't worry too much, all my existing friends don't have to worry about being removed from my friends lists.

I am sorry such mean people and had come to friends only. You are a kind wolf and fur and so are most. I wonder when I will get attacked. *hugs softly*

Well, I hope you don't get attacked. I had hoped that I'd never get attacked like this, but since I identified myself as a furry, that basically painted a big huge red target on myself.

Coo', friends-only LJs work pretty well in my experience. *nods*

Well, I'll see how it goes. I hope that this doesn't interfere with my meeting with new and interesting LJ-ers, I still enjoy doing that, except that now I'll be a little more discerning with the kind of company they keep.

Ah, but part of the joy of LJ is that you can run into so many creepy people too!

please excuse the uber-protected journal, but I decided to go "friends-only" recently as a result of having to weather a few "attacks" online.
