Lots of links, but what can you do?
May. 31st, 2007 02:40 amThis was posted on my other blog, since a friend of mine had asked what all was going on. Damn, it just makes my head spin.
Instead of trying to explain it, I'm going to provide links to the crap going on over at LJ. Basically, it all boils down to Six Apart/LJ bowing down to the bullying of some nutter, and saying fuck you to all their customers. And yes, that is what a lot of people are, since they do have paid accounts.
They suspended journals of those who have survived incest/rape/child abuse, and who talked about it in their journals. Rumors of support type groups getting suspended are all over. They even suspended journals that were clearly marked as RPGs, as well as a discussion group for a book titled Lolita. *shakes head*
All of these links have more links within them, which give more information than I can even find at the moment. I'd link to them individually, but forgive me, I am tired.
From a friend's journal. This was one of the posts that I logged into LJ to find.
Here.
Another.
This post has links to follow ups.
And yet more.
LJ has provided some sort of explanation on CNET, but has yet to address their own users.
