LJ Etiquette

[evildrem]

Okay my darlings, I have a question of etiquette for you. I apologise if this questions seems a little opaque but I know some of you who read this in RL and I'm trying to be tactful..

If you read something in an LJ of another person which happens to be about a friend of yours and which you think is:
a) derogatory and unfair and;
b) is not factually correct;

would it be okay to tell the friend about whom the comment has been made, about the post?

Both the owner of the LJ and the friend mentioned in the LJ post are people I know in RL.

I should also add that the person who owns the LJ and who has made the comment thinks I hate them and complained when I friended their LJ. I de-friended but I do still read their LJ because it has a kind of train-wreck fascination. For the record I don't actually hate them, I just find them somewhat delusional and there is a bit of a personality clash.

Normally I'd ignore this type of thing but the comments made are particularly unfair in this case and I'm irritated but wary of causing even more trouble.

Any comments, suggestions or thoughts welcome.

[Sub-question: Am I bad person for reading the public LJ of someone who asked me to de-friend them?]

Comments

Thanks..

I'm a bit concerned that the comments and more the *attitude* of the person making the comments. I'm worried it is going to cause more trouble in the future.

The Friend will get very upset if I tell them.

Thanks for your thoughts though. Particularly about reading the LJ. I feel a little better now :)

I've had this feeling for a while. Her view of the world seems no longer to be at all congruent with anything that might be considered to be reality. She appears to have no sense of irony; she has posted about the incestuous backbiting nature of the local scene, which as a comparative outsider I find hilarious in its misconception. She's a shameless drama queen.

It's the posts about her partner that I find most concerning.
