Dive in to the madness that is LiveJournal, Bumble.
I resisted it for a time for similar reasons that you quote in your previous post. I know I should be responding to that one, but this is simpler. For me, I worry about people getting to know me without getting to know me--there's enough of that shit in the fandom as is. But I don't care anymore. If people go to enough trouble to find my LJ from one tiny link on my webpage or through one of my limited friends' lists, then I suppose the idealization / demonization is a bit inevitable. Besides; I am now an addict, and I am weak. And Anna is surprisingly thrilled by anything involving communication over the net, so it's partly for her too.
I like the advocacy links. Funny title to the piece, too. :)
