How do I disable the "share" option on a post?

Hey all!

I am slow about LJ things, but I realized that the "share" link on my entries allows people to reblog my posts like Tumblr, and modify the content therein. I am unthrilled with this, to say the least. I don't like the idea of someone being able to modify/twist/misrepresent what I'm saying. Not to mention that it makes it much easier for plagiarists to run amok. Not that people are lining up to plagiarize my stuff, but it's the principle of the thing.

So, is there any way of disabling that "feature?" Anyone? Bueller?

I thought the share button was just a thing that you click and it provides a preformatted link to the post in question on the service you're sharing it on. *tests* Well you can see how often I share things on LJ. I bet there isn't any way to disable it, because LJ's business model seems to be 'turn into a clone of $latestshiny while fucking over people who are customers of LJ precisely because it is not $latestshiny', but I'll look.

That's what I thought too, but it really seems like you can modify the content once you click "share." It's disconcerting.

I knew it was possible to add to and modify the content of a post one is sharing when the post was being shared via a 'Share this!' button added to the post by its author, but that is by its nature opt-in and applicable only to the posts one wishes it to apply to. This is...bleh.

I just want to be able to opt out if I so desire. Maybe I don't WANT my fanfic crossposted to Facebook, you know? :P
