Friendslist purge!

[asterroc]

I'm going to be doing a purge of my friendslist in the next few days or weeks. If you don't comment on my entries and I don't comment on yours, you can expect to be removed. If you're on any of my custom filters (including people I have met or soon will meet in person, people who've figured out who I am or could easily, people with whom I've had interesting conversations on controvertial topics, and people I trust not to spill the beans when I blab about nerd camp or academia), you will not be removed.

This is not intended as a personal insult or attack, insult or attack on your writing style, nor to give offense in any other manner. (People take LJ-friending too damned personally.) This *IS* intended as a time saver on my part, with the added benefit of removing privledged access to friendslocked posts from people who I don't actually know anything about even virtually.

If I remove you and you feel hurt or would otherwise rather I left you as a friend, or even if you *want* me to unfriend you, please let me know.
