i just saw your post on lj_biz and thought i'd mention something to you.. i came to your personal journal rather than the big public one because i would rather not be flamed and insulted by the people who frequent that community.

although you may not agree with me on this (and many don't).. i thought i'd show you something that happened to me in the official lj suggestions community. i made a very similar suggestion to one you mentioned above.. regarding the "gated communities" and "private journals". i made it in a suggestion community so it could be gone over, analyzed and tweaked for the best possible case scenario. although suggestions had been made with -similar- ideas.. none and been put together and formulated as mine had been. even with that, they rejected both formulations of my suggestion without EVER LETTING ONE PERSON SEE the suggestion to analyze it.
