Thinking about this some more...

... how much -are- we supposed to be "protected" outside our space? Say whatever you want in your journal, sure, but step into mine and you've gotta expect and take whatever I dish out or allow to be dished out. I'm perfectly capable of telling my friends or others what I will or won't allow in my journal. That's why I banned anonymous posters. If one of my friends does something on my behalf in my journal to someone I dislike and have told to stay out of my journal, well, then that's just too bad for the person who was told to stay out. I may tell my friend to lay off if I feel they're out of line, or I may not. In neither of those cases do I expect the LJ Abuse Team to act against my friend: he had my sanction to say whatever I allowed him to in my journal. Period.
