Wow, I wouldn't have even noticed this if not for Kiri having you on her friend's list. I think there's a lot of hypocrisy in this. You talk about my nose being where it doesn't belong, and yet you feel just as comfortable as I do making comments on the situation. Whether these comments are negative or positive are irrelevant. Mark and Justine bitch about each other's relationship and then get pissy the other one does so. Mark and I have long conversations over the contents of a web journal inflicting pain on others but then knows Justine's aware of what he's writing about her. (Ergh, Mark wasn't supposed to come out havin the most negative points here.) I think Janine's right about dropping the entire thing. Sure, nothing will be resolved, but what really needs to be resolved? Justine and Mark don't NEED to be buddies no matter how this ends up. You're not wrong in saying that Mark has a right to vent, as do we all. Perhaps if no one set the "comment" option, things would be easier. It would all have a more private feel to it. Of course, we'd be fooling ourselves. It's not private. The way we've all been linked by mutual friends, that makes it pretty obvious. I had said more, but I deleted it--well, copied it over for later use might be a better phrasing. There was more for you, personally, but as I said, it's not a private forum, and as you can tell from my reaction to Mark, I'm not happy with pulling thing into one. If you'd like the rest of this message, I can @mail it to you. I think I'm about done with "friend" lists, but for my own now. If you want to contact me, it's best to do it from Chaotic. I do believe I'll go exist in my world of pretend privacy.

Interesting late-night read
