First, I always like it that you put a subject title on your comments so I know what they are in my inbox. I keep meaning to start doing that myself and I keep forgetting.

I'm sure you know that I'm more confrontation-avoidant than you are. But in a case like this, I might find some way of telling the person why I wasn't adding them ... maybe it's never occurred to them that some people might object.

Actually, on LJ I think there is some rule against using it to play a role -- I noticed it when I was thinking of writing some fiction with a diaristic structure (is there a word equivalent to 'epistolary' but for a fictional diary?) -- but I think there's this whole game of people pretending to be world leaders on LJ or something.
