LJ doesn't create drama, people create drama. LJ is just the "new" meduim for it.
It's gossip. People gossip about other people, and then the people who are being gossiped about catch wind of the gossip.
What makes LJ different from a phone call? Well, because once you put something there, it stays there indefinitely. With a phone call, once it's done it's done. LJ sits around for someone else to come by, read, and then share with someone they shouldn't be sharing with.
My solution? I try to not post anything that might be considered "gossip" and therefore create drama.
