Still feels like rejection, because I can't see locked posts anymore. I handle the flist problem by making a public filter of the people I read on a day-to-day basis. That way everyone can see my entries, but I don't have to clutter my flist with the people I don't comment on often.

The name of the filter is "Regular" as in "people I read regularly." I have others for comms and things that tend to clutter my flist with posts.
