It appears to me from what you say above, that you're implying you did no research into the credentials of the compalainant(s) before acting - but (from them) we know that when they first approached 6A, you blew them off. So, what changed? Did Wankers for Idiocy buy shares or something?

I'd also like answers to the questions posed at the beginning of this thread.
I'd also like to know what Brad thinks about this.
LiveJournal is not SixApart. You have upset us with your comment about "the community we want to build" - made while you were giving no signs to the community that you knew it existed. We will resent anything we see as empire-building without a care for the little people: LiveJournal is ABOUT the little people.
Please, please - SixApart have broken promises made to us about ads and so on in the past. We are here for the community. Try to understand your market and try not to alienate it, because WE WANT TO KEEP GIVING YOU OUR MONEY.

The question at hand, however, is why have you consistently told your users that discussion of an illegal activity is neither illegal nor a suspendable offense, and then suddenly and arbitrarily suspend 500 accounts based on one non-user complaint when there was no proof any of them had done anything other than discuss an illegal activity?
