Okay: for starters, what points do we want in the email

I like your list - I genuinely think we (and other fans, and fandom in general) can help LJ craft improvements that will really work, and assist in getting the word out and the changes adopted. But as you say, we're only one group of users.

Might we consider not spending time on the mention of negative stereotypes? I'm sure they already know them. So stressing the positives about fans, which they might *not* hear as often, would perhaps be sufficient.

Might I just add to what we want: a clear procedure for appealing suspension decisions. That users were told they had absolutely no recourse is unacceptable.

I think we should state, as the one poster suggested, that we are X number of fans (140? - those in this comm, or those signing in?) from multiple fandoms. But add that as fandom_counts shows, as well as other comms formed or focused on this issue the last week, there are more than 30,000 fandom accounts held by people taking an interest in a satisfactory resolution to this problem. We are one group who has agreed to pursue some proactive responses

Am I the first one to post a story link? Huh. Well anyway, here it is.

My fandom story.

My story, sort of. Not sure I'd call it a "story;" more of an introduction.
