Well, that depends. But even if it isn't the majority, I think it likely (having stepped carefully through various LJ minefields over the years) that there will be enough of that going on that this could become a background problem that might tinge the community atmosphere here. Mostly, I think it just sets up a perception that backstabbing is going on, whether or not it actually is.

In any event, if people don't want to risk being discovered talking behind the backs of others in locked posts, it should be possible to avoid that by using text or even initials. So schoolyard, though!
