Do the facts speak for themselves?

(brief summary: LJ has started censoring the results of the http://www.livejournal.com/interests.bml?view=popular&mode=text Popular Interests report.)

Well, the only way to get an interest listed in that search is to put it into a specific box on your user info page. If you don't want to be listed as interested in turnips, just take turnips out of that box, or don't put them in in the first place. There's no spider crawling LJ entries looking for keywords to catalog you. (That I know about, anyway.)

No, that's not a reasonable spin.

You're doing a pretty good job of having a pseudonymous LJ account, by the way, with a minimum of personal information and no interests listed. Don't worry -- we know who you are.

Well, exactly. Those whom I feel safe knowing who I am, know who I am (or can make a pretty good guess). For the random public, I want to make it as difficult as possible to find me - nasssssty sussssspicious paranoid person that I am.
