Journal Chacham's Journal: Slashdot Habits: Planning to move foes soon 12
I have definitely been getting closer on the grand switcharound. Where i plan to create another user to friend all my foes, and friend that user, then foe all my friends. Friend and Friend of Friend will modify to -6, and foe will modify to +6.
Pros:
- People ignored won't be offended by being called "foe". Instead they will be "friend".
- There will be a more distant limitation on the ignored users, as each "friend" can have 200 friends.
- This will clear up the list for more people to be promoted to +6.
Cons:
- People raised to +6 will be "foes" and might not realize what i am doing.
- I won't be messaged when people raised to +6 write a JE.
- This will clear up the list for more people to be promoted to +6.
My main holdbacks are:
- I don't know if the newly made foes will mind.
- I don't know of an alternate way to see JEs.
- I'll need a program to do the switchover, or a lot of time to do it manually.
The other neat thing is that i can "friend" people i don't want to see, and have that be a queue until i log in as another user.
Then again, i could just move my foes to foe of friend, and keep all else the same. The only drawback there is that i continue to foe these people. I'd rather "friend" them so they don't take it so personally.
If only there was a friend of foe modifier...

Why not just have one (or more) user(s) who foes all your foes. And (an)other(s) who friends all your friends. Make them your friends and +6 Friends of Friends, and -6 Foes of Friends.

Personally, I like the amigos page better than messaging for viewing friends' journals. I turned off journals in messaging and just use a link to

Either way, this is no different than getting messaged when a friend writes a JE. So, maybe i'll keep friends directly, and foe them through another account, like "profanity", or some other availible descriptive name. I'll need two to start, as i'm not subscribing those users.
Now to get a script. I think the action date will be Monday or Tuesday.

I friended you specifically because I'm always curious about what you'll write in your journal next.
I apreciate that. To tell you the truth, i don't know what i'll write next. It's an exploration. It's scary in a sense, but i am gratified when i can pry something out of my inwards grasp.

DISCLAIMER: This is not an attack, it's an actual account of my youth.
I remember when I was a kid, I had a very limited and pedantic view of the world. I think I was about ten years old and was really hung up on trying to speak with very adult grammar. I desperately wanted to appear intelligent. I was truly a nerd. I was so uptight, that I didn't even use contractions in my speech because I

I have addressed this topic in another JE [slashdot.org] and the associated comments. I'll be happy to continue the conversation, but i think what i have already said explains the basics.
Basically, it has more to do with the way i think it affects me.
