Oh, LJ

I really do love this site. There are so many wonderful people here who I never would have gotten to know if it weren't for this place. But LiveJournal? You so need to stop infuriating fandom and many outside with actions which, while they may be both well-intentioned and well within your rights, do not really make quite as much sense as you probably think they do.

Looking at the aftermath of Strikethrough '07, I honestly thought that LJ had learned something. Apparently what they learned was to re-do site code so that deleted & suspended accounts don't have a strikethrough anymore.

Copperbadge says it well.

Speech! Speech! (and the occasional fan art!)

"The solution to bad speech is more speech." Unless you're living in the United States. synecdochic writes about anti-child-pornography laws, fandom, and why sites like LJ don't have an easy job keeping up.
