That’s cheating

On my LJ profile it says:
the reason I “friend” users is because I am interested in reading what their journals say and commenting on them… I lack motivation to keep my beak shut just because my opinion is actively not wanted.
This is true. I can’t resist giving my opinion. I don’t necessarily expect anyone else to agree with it, but it’s in my nature to spout forth about anything and everything.
Recently I friended someone I hadn’t had contact with in a couple of years, because I still think about him entirely too often and it was nice to find out he was still out there and still active and I had access to his thoughts and writing again — I’ve always liked the way he expresses himself. I like the shapes his prose makes, even if I don’t necessarily understand the references.
Being unable to keep my fat beak shut, I made to comment on a particular post, only to discover that this old acquaintance of mine has set his journal so that only friends can post comments. So I can’t, because he hasn’t friended me. And, being subject to a complex series of rules and protocol regarding manners in this instance, I am not in a position to ask that he does.
I think this is cheating and unfair and I wish to lodge a complaint. I shall sit here and pout until birds perch on my lower lip demanding to be fed with corn and sunflower seeds and caterpillars.
