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?]

I think you hit the nail on the head..

..what was really bothering me was how much this was going to upset the friend and whether it was actually worth it.

I've decided to take a lateral approach and speak to the Ex and suggest she stops telling lies to all and sundry as some its then getting repeated and embellished and posted on the internet.

Hopefully that may do the trick :)
