I personally flock most of my posts. The only ones that aren't are the playlists from my radio show, which gets a different userpic, and my tweets, which hardly anyone knows WTF I'm talking about in them anyway. I've disabled both anonymous and non-friend commenting as soon as I could find the commands to do so.
I've been opinionated enough to have made enemies who'd want to stomp around my LJ in cleats and make me upset. I simply choose not to give them the means. They can post their garbage on sites I don't read.
I used to do the custom filter in the past, but I was never quite sure what would happen if I did certain things to the posts in question. These days, I'd only use a custom filter to conspire against a friend or two in terms of getting them a present or doing something nice for them. I don't have time or the energy or the willingness to add to teh drawma by making a custom filter and then saying 'don't tell X person this stuff I'm about to say against them!' - cos someone always spills the beans anyway.
(And yet again, I'm blogging in this LJ at 6am my time...)
