For me, my LJ is not really about conversation...well, not primarily. Conversation sometimes erupts, and sometimes I post something specifically for other people, but generally my LJ is, for me, a journal. I post my thoughts and opinions. Generally in public, I try always to be diplomatic about things...so there are many opinions I will not say...but in my journal I can say what I think about whatever I think. If people want to read they can, if not, they don't have to.
For me, the LJ is a place where I can speak out loud into the ether unconcerned about who my audience might be and what they might think about it. I allow myself the space to speak freely in my Livejournal...which is not space one always has in everyday life...at least not if one is as concerned about smooth social relations as I tend to be.
So...for me livejournal is primarily a window into my mind, not primarily a place for conversation. Though I never mind if conversation pops up.
