I have always felt like comments on personal journals are pretty intimate. Partly because unlike a lot of fans my primary LJ experience was with people I knew in meatspace (perhaps because LJ came out of UW and seattle was very active) but also because I never went viral so my audience is typically friends or friends of friends. (I talk about LJ because it formed my habits and sense of culture.)

your experience here might be really skewed by the "reblog" thing?
