No, no, no, they're just pruning crossposters off their f-list on LJ. But it puts me into a cycle each time of "wait, X unfriended me?" Then I contact them and...

... it's because of DW again. They either have a completely different name on DW or they friended me on DW so many months ago that there wasn't a change there.

It's not horrible. More like the level of pain from a paper cut.
