I'm not sure about the particulars of the conversation you are speaking of, but I have noticed a trend in LJ users that disturbs me. That is the use of a person's journal as a debate forum. I don't understand this butting in thing. I find it rude and highly offensive and wish it would stop. I don't mind somone disagreeing with my particular viewpoint on something but put that opposing view in your own journal and leave it out of mine, thank you very much.
The other annoyance sort of along the same lines is when a third party butts into a comment I leave the owner of a journal. WTF? THe comment wasn't for the 3 rd party, it was for the journal owner. The conversation is beween him and I. It's one reason any real content of my journal is friends only. I can't trust the general public to have any common sense and manners!
LJ and good manners
