It's decidedly silly for me because I don't have any of the 'negative' interests. But there are plenty of people who list health issues and such that are legitimate even though they don't like them, aren't in favor of them, or remotely support them. So either LJ needs to know how people actually use the interests search, or notify people that it's for true "likes" only so they can adjust their interests form (and not get suspended).

*shrug* Some of it seems like the "friends" thing, just not-quite-right terminology being used for how a lot of people use their journals.
