I would much rather people comment or tell me they are upset with me, instead of acting like everything is peachy keen, then I read about myself and am getting slammed in some post they make. I much prefer direct communication. The communication might or might not go anywhere. For example, if someone doesn't like me talking about certain things in my journal, they can tell me, I will tell them I am going to continue and they might unfriend me. I'm not saying confronting me will make me stop, but at least I'll know I'm upsetting the person and have the option.
Sorry /end rant
Hit a nerve there on me, I think :)
Besides, I expect my friends to have occasional different views. They aren't my clones after all.
