Some people do get their knickers in an immense twist about the etiquette of friending*: personally I don't mind people just doing so quietly so long as they don't then take this as a licence to be obnoxious and pushy in any discussions taking place on my lj.
*Though probably less so if they are already friended by large nos of people, which tends to happen if they are known to generate good discussion.
