Every so often, I want to remove someone from my Friends list, not out of anger but simply because their entries don't appeal to me much anymore. As yet, however, I have never de-Friended anyone who still had me on their own list. Partly I don't want to risk shrinking my already small readership, but mainly I don't know how to do it without feeling rude. My LJ doesn't bar non-Friends from replying, but an ex-Friend might still discover their removal on their own. Even posting this entry give me a nagging feeling of rudeness, despite not having implicated any particular Friends.

My grasp on face-to-face etiquette is weak enough. Does anyone know a good source for netiquette?

You ought to feel empowered to make your own decisions on that, and do what you want to do. There isn't much actual consequence to your behavior on your own journal, I regularly de- and re-friend a couple people on my list simply because I get sick of reading/seeing their posts all the time, if they notice, they certainly never make any kind of fuss about it.
Also, if you wish to enlarge your readership, you ought to go to the "recently updated journals" button on the front page, look at the 200+ entries there, and add a few folks who seem to be interesting to you, then comment. They'll probably add you back.

Viva your vida loca.

If only I had the time and stamina to explore 200+ journals. But thanks for enlightening me to that button.
