Yes I guess that having a huge flist your perception must be a bit different. Mine is quite small, so the constant lack of comment is usually obvious.

Besides since you mostly post fanfictions on your LJ you must expect people to not leave feedbacks about pairings they don't read (like me who's faithful to Spuffy and "almost" never reads Spike being paired with anyone else, simply because I can't).

But what about you? What makes you leave comment on other LJ?

I am cleaning my lj now but I only remove people currently who have never friended me, or I put into a filter anyone who has a pattern of unpleasantness or whom I need a break from.

I don't even know how filters work! Do I have filters on my free account (not that I'm planning to put anyone into a filter but you got me curious)?

I don't want to read someone continually ranting about bad fic or whatever, so if they do it, I can filter them now and never have to read them without unfriending them. I'm quite ruthless about it, but it's my lj time and I'm not going to spend it wallowing in unpleasantness.

I'm not sure I understand you here. Are you saying that even though you don't unfriend someone, you don't necessarily read them? So the lack of comments from you would be a clue then, wouldn't it?

Yes it's me being all egocentric again and a bit paranoid probably...
