The posts I've locked tend to be things that I've needed to get off my chest but in an enviornment where I feel safe and with people I know have previously expressed concern about me. So that's about 10 people! I do use a filter, but that's only to filter off some of the busier communities which, when I have time, I usually go back to and peruse (at the weekends!). My filter is basically still my f-list in any case. I do agree that 'friends' is a troubling term, and can lead to all sorts of expectations on my side or one the side of people on my f-list. There are people on my f-list I do consider friends, and usually dear ones at that, but then again there are others I have no clue about. Still we all usually have something in common right? I hate rich text too, because whenever I do a photo post, it eats the photos. Or it eats the special text I've used - lj users, bold, etc - whenever I put it behind an lj-cut. But, I still have a love-hate relationship with HTML ;)
