Because there are some people that aren't on my friends list that read my LJ. If I made it friends only they wouldn't see it. They are allowed to comment, I just have to screen it first, that is all.

I just have to double check it isn't that asshat that was harassing me and have to subject the people who are reading my journal to his idiotic words.

(I know the post wasn't about *me* in general, but I am just defending why someone would. I know how you love to debate. ;) )
