Minor nuisances....

[kyrielle]

I'm really not pleased with that new LJ toolbar. Largely because it allows people to "enforce" it on their journal. I find it annoying and useless and a waste of space on my small laptop monitor, but when I go to read what's behind the cut-tag, there it is. It's clutter, like an ad-bar, not useful, to me.

So I'm curious, since some of my friends are doing this. I understand why people would want to turn the bar on for themselves as they browse the site - it's useful to them. But why is it an option, and why have some of the people I read chosen to use that option, to force the rest of us to see the aggravating thing? What is the goal? Because I really don't understand what the benefit is to you, to have that bar up there for others.
