What is the preferred LJ etiquette for behaviour in someone elses LJ?


If you were discussing a show or fandom in your LJ, and a friend of yours confronted another friend of yours for their comments in said post, how would you respond? Would you feel that they were disrespecting your personal space, or do you consider your fandom posts to be akin to a message board, and hope that people feel free to confront other fans in a discussion that you are "hosting"


If any of that makes sense *frowns*

It's an interesting question that doesn't really have an answer. Each person here can tell you how they feel but that doesn't help when you're in someone else's journal having a discussion. There are very few spaces in LJ that I would consider public. Almost every post is 'owned' by someone.

I haven't had to deal with it yet, so I'm not sure how I would feel about a confrontation in one of my posts. I think it would depend on the tone of the discussion. I have noticed that a lot of comment threads tend to be like this one. Each commenter writing to the OP and none or very few talking to each other even if they know each other. There are times when I want to comment to another comment but I don't because it doesn't seem to be done.

Yeah I'm not sure why that is, sometimes discussion threads within the entry do get moving, but I guess it depends on the LJ and the discussion. A lot of the times it is just the LJ owner being commented too

I think that responding to another comment in the entry should be fine though :)
