Well we really screwed this one up…

[news]

For reasons we are still trying to figure out what was supposed to be a well planned attempt to clean up a few journals that were violating LiveJournal's policies that protect minors turned into a total mess. I can only say I’m sorry, explain what we did wrong and what we are doing to correct these problems and explain what we were trying to do but

WHOA.

HOLD ON.

WAIT A GODDAMN SECOND.

I am suddenly and severely lessed than pleased about this so-called "apology".

Screening comments, for any reason is BAD FORM, sir.

You almost had me there. I was forgiving, moving on.

EPIC FAIL.

It makes me sad to take my loyalty from LJ. I've been with them as long as I've had an account at the Pit of Voles, though with various usernames.

Not anymore. I can't stand for a constant trampling-on of rights. Especially not in a post apologizing for the trampling.

wanna bet?

I hate to say it, but this bears repeating so that more pissed off lj users can realize that there's even more that six apart has done to FUCK WITH US.

I vote spam the apology with comments until we have enough people outraged.

Why IS the freedom of speech gone?

This thread is linked both in FandomTOSsed on GreatestJournal, and Fandom_Wank on Journalfen.

I'm going to post it on some other places within LJ as well. My initial comment and reaction is on page 2. I was fine until I heard this bullshit.

Bad faith... very bad faith...

See icon.

Nice. Real nice.

This is the online equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and going 'LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR U BEING MEEEEEEEN!'

Well, guess what. You started it, LJ. I'm telling Mom!

In all seriousness, you are not fixing anything by trying to cover up what legitimately angry people are saying. Deal with it like adults, come on. Here, have some coffee, and think it through.

EPIC FAIL.

WHERE'S BRAD FITZPATRICK!?!

[fenris_wolf0]

He is out traveling(*) and very likely totally unaware and innocent of all this: in fact, isn't it interesting to note that they waited until he was out of range to start this mess?

(*)This is just an educated guess, based on his latest post in his personal LJ which I checked very briefly earlier.

[setos_puppy]

Brad never would have let this happen. EVER.

[blackjackrocket]

Plz explain, warmongers.

Evidently posting videos in comments makes some browsers crash.

[li_akari]

But if they just replied saying that... Is like the main problem here, just delete/suspend and later answers. Is communication, just that.
I thank all the people who defend the free speech, burr86 unscreened the post so... Maybe some browsers crash, and now I know it so I will never do a second mistake, just answers.

[yrena]

I didn't say it wasn't the problem. I was letting my friend there know.

[li_akari]

Oh! Okay :) just to be sure because some people didn't know it at all but now everything's fine with the unscreened post.

[nemesis]

And here I was going '...Okay, maybe if they get their act together-'

That.

Is not getting their act together.
