People were creating communities (and then IDs) with names like "nigger_central" and "kkk_membership", and then going around LJ and adding any person who had ever spoken out on race issues or the KKK (mostly POC). Harrassment IDs were, of course, homophobic, racist, or sexist, although some were just stupid (dildobucket or _eye_added_you_). As soon as I commented in the [livejournal.com profile] lj_biz poll about this issue, I was added to two individual accounts.

The best, most complete post about the The "Friend Of" Issue (http://www.livejournal.com/users/chr0me_kitten/436450.html) I've seen was in [livejournal.com profile] chr0me_kitten's journal.

I find it interesting that it's mostly been straight white people who don't have an issue with this.
