The great LJ strikeout  
Hmm.  I've read some posts, and I'm still amazed.  No offense to those of you who believed this would happen, but when I saw the rumours, I seriously thought There is no way this is going to happen.  And then it did.  I'm gobsmacked.

The thing is, I'm really sad about this because I LOVE LJ.  I don't like the way they've responded to this, but I'm still crossing my fingers that they'll do right by the people who were illegitimately affected, ie FANDOM.

I'm a permanent account holder, and the last time there was an LJ scare (the Vox controversy, I believe) it all blew over.  This is, to my mind, a bit more serious, because it involves CENSORSHIP, which to a writer and librarian is a dirty word.

I'm still hoping this will blow over with little in the way of wreckage.

*sigh*

I'm going to go bury myself in my RPG LJ now and hope it doesn't get deleted because the character is a bisexual and that might offend someone.
