where I stand now

[rm]

Many of you know I was seriously unhappy with LJ's first apology. Their most recent news post indicates how vast a restoration of accounts they are doing, and I have to say, I'm a lot happier.

BUT, Six Apart/LJ still has a lot to do to make me calm down. These things include:

a) making things right with users who have been branded pedophiles across the Internet (free journal rename tokens and public apology listing all wronged journals at minimum).
b) retraction of the CEOs statements claiming the right and ability to evaluate of what is art and academic study.
c) restorion of lolita07. Thank you!
d) answering questions about where gay users stand in light of the continued phrasing about banning journals that encourage illegal sexual activity.
e) an admission that they outright lied to users at the beginning saying this wasn't going on.
f) a better explanation of why this happened how and when.

I think your response was probably proportionate. I mean, I just wrote Patty a four page screed about this whole thing and flipped out to two of the peopel I work for about it today, and my only context is "as a gay Jewish porntastic woman, these things make me really nervous."

I'm just really appalled. LJ was always a safe space for us to have fun and hang out. I have pretty strong views about putting my money where my mouth is (see: this year's organic dairy & bath product quest) and I don't think I'll be giving it to LJ anymore, unless this shakes out in a way that I don't anticipate. This is just hypocritical and awful and ugh.

Fucking ads.
