Community Hijacking by LJ Employee.
Mailed to livejournal.
I am NOT happy that burr86 felt it appropriate to use my community efw as a soapbox for his issues with the community.
I am NOT happy that my community became overrun with people flocking to argue with him.
He was NOT, prior to his post, a member of the community. He came there specifically to reply to a thread on the subject of fanfic. A thread that was, until his post, well within the spirit of the community. He posted using the same account he uses as his official 'face of LiveJournal'. On vacation of not, if one of my employees used their 'company' account, and made public disparaging comments about my customers, they would find themselves in the unemployment line.
It was unprofessional, rude, and I deserve a full apology from LiveJournal, for allowing their employee to behave in such a manner, and from burr86 for his actions.
