You said, in a previous statement, that 500 journals wasn't that many.

So really, would it have been -that- hard to sit down for a couple hours and look at what you were getting rid of instead of just swiping it all out in a big heap?

Seconded.

FUCKING YES.

As I said, we really messed up.

You have no real answer besides that. it isn't good enough. We want real answers, we want real details.

Also, acting like a tyrant in the cnet interview was a bad idea. You may own LJ, but you don't control us. And you never will.

Dude, when people ask questions, they want answers, not excuses, not "We really messed up." If you aren't eloquent enough to respond to such inquiries, please appoint someone more competent to answer for you.

Seconded.

If this is the best your PR department could come up with, you might want to hire a new PR department.

i asked myself that question too. i'm glad someone asked it of THEM!!! *note the dripping sarcasm* "oh, it was only 500 or so journals...*

THEN LOOK THEM OVER PROPERLY BEFORE YOU GO ON A STINKING WITCH HUNT NEXT TIME!!!
