...So who else finds having a person suddenly and randomly adding you to their flist using some sort of search script program annoying? Especially when from what you can tell, you and they have nothing in common?

Someone friended my main RP LJ yesterday doing that. It's the third time within a month that's happened, too. Which is why I'm asking. Whatever happened to actually talking to people and finding out what they're like?

Oh, so you know who I was talking about.

How do they determine who they add, anyway? Any clue?

Its happened to me twice. They've all got a huge 'tude and serious issues about people's privacy; their attitude of "well if you don't like it just ban me!" bugs the shit out of me. No, how about you stop being an asshat and leave me alone, since I have no idea who in the blue hell you are? At least fucking introduce yourself first. It'd be different if any of them were actually interesting or polite, or asked first.

They use a friending bot, which is illegal by LJ's TOS. It friends so many random people within a few letters of the alphabet, I think, and if within one hour that person doesn't add you back it unfriends them. It's stupid, and totally disrespectful.
