Yes, I can expand on that.
It is the right of the owner of a given journal to decide who can read any
given post of theirs. That right extends to not having to field questions from
readers about why a given post isn't open to their entire friendslist, who on
the friendslist is or isn't included on a given filter, etc. If there is that
much drama going on between various people on someone's friendslist, it is up
to the individuals involved with the drama to deal with it like adult human
beings, rather than forcing everyone else of their mutual acquaintance to
become involved in the conflict whether they have anything to do with it or not.
How is it "dangerous" for the person creating the filter to have more
information about who is seeing what they're posting than the people seeing the
posts? The only people it seems like it would be "dangerous" to are the readers
of a friendslocked post who might choose to break friendslock by then
discussing the friendslocked post with someone they made the mistake of
assuming was included in the discussion. The simple solution there is not to
violate the basic principle of a friendslock: you can either ask the original
poster if it's okay for you to discuss a given post with another specific
person, or don't discuss it outside of that post. If you don't feel comfortable
asking the original poster for permission to discuss the post with another
person who might not have been included in the filter, then it's probably
something you shouldn't be discussing with other people anyway.

Can you expand on that? I honestly don't understand how it becomes less private
to tell people "restricted beyond just the friendslist" and it strikes me as
dangerous for the person doing the locking, as those on the filter are left to
assume that everyone trusted by the OP is in on the discussion, rather than
some subset.
