Some necessary maintenance

okayawesomeHey, guys. Weighing in on the current issue at hand:
1) I will never, ever, ever connect this journal, or any other journal I have, to Facebook or Twitter. None of your entries or comments, or my comments on your entries, will ever be crossposted by me to any public site. I am trying (sometimes failing, but trying!) to maintain a strict distinction between my online/fannish life and my real life, and this is part of it. Your stuff will not be anywhere near my RL accounts, I promise.
2) On that note, please do not use Facebook or Twitter to crosspost anything relating to my content. If I have to get so extreme about this as to defriend anyone who uses Facebook Connect, I will. For now, I am asking, please, if you use Facebook/Twitter Connect, please be very cautious about what you link, and please do not link my posts or comments.
(Relatedly, since I have failed enough that I am friends with some of you on FB/Twitter now -- I ask that you continue to avoid linking this journal with my RL name, please.)
Thank you. ♥

Which is fine in theory, except that you can also crosspost your comments on other people's entries, even locked ones. So like, you know, if I write an entry titled BIG GAY PORN, I don't really want people on Facebook to know about that and potentially trace it to me as a person.
