I find Facebook to be completely tolerable, so long as I don't use any applications, tag anything, etc. I am fine with that. However, its history of fucking up in a way that exposes people who have taken steps not to be exposed makes me highly irritable. If it weren't the only reliable way to keep up with a few people I hold dear, I would have NOTHING to do with it.

The idea that LJ, which is simple ROILING with its own fail around privacy, would seek to mimic FB? That seems like leaving two unneutered FAILBUNNIES alone in a room with Tom Jones playing and being sure that your good intentions will act as saltpeter and chastity belts and the morning after pill.
