Friendditto.

I've not heard of them before today.

Since I've no locked posts, I am not worried about them for me (though I can see where I might want to lock some posts, or filter them) I do have a couple of private posts, which ought not be affected, since I am not using this service.

But I hear things about it which I find offensive. Not crucial (since if I want to post something you've locked I can always paste it, this just makes it, so I hear, easier), but offensive.

I don't think it can go to the locked posts of friends, by way of the FOF reading list.

If it can, then I am past offended, because that, it seems, is an invasion of privacy.

So, as I 1: have no locked posts, and 2: have no way to know if any of you have chosen to use this, I won't ask you to take yourselves off my friends list. On the other hand, if I do start locking posts, and then see them talked about all over town. I'll be annoyed.

I went and looked at them. The FAQ says they can't keep Friends Only posts. Since this seems to be the cause of so much of the angst, I wonder what the facts are. I see no reason, on the face of things, to doubt them. Then again, I am loathe to share my password with anyone.

I think it's a trick to pry-bar your way into locked rooms.

They're not affiliates of LJ.

And no, no one has the right to get into my house, my bank account, my medical records without proper legal permissions. Since LJ gave us the right to friendslock a post, I have the right to use that if I want, and to expect it to stand.
