Notes on catching up on two days' worth of paranoia and fury in one sitting

[constance]

1. Sometimes it sure does suck to be a pervert.



2. I'm afraid it's not about free speech, folks. It's about Big Business. Do we all agree that corporate entities fail egregiously at openmindedness, or indeed anything that's not about protecting the fucking bottom line? Do we all agree that LJ's TOS, which of course we all read very carefully when we signed up, provides them with ample space to "suspend" whatever journals they feel like "suspending?" I thought so.
   
   Still. Big Business does suck. See #1.



3. I wonder how much work it would take to set up a blogsite for media fen? Like journalfen, you know, but more open-like. Probably an awful lot. :?

I'm hoping this blows over fairly quickly. Of course it's ridiculous, but fandom has been through crap before, and this probably won't be the last time. I really, really don't want to have to move.

Nor do I want to move -- my journals here have gone from being primarily about the fanfic with a little personal stuff thrown in, to being mostly personal with bits of fandom. I really don't want to set up another shop, much as SixApart is pissing me off right now.

Also, I'm cynical--I've lived through at least three other "mass" fandom exoduses (exodi?) that completely failed to materialize past the grand pronouncements. Here I be. I'm too lazy to move.

HAHAHAHAHA So true! We are hair-triggered, in fandom.

I'm lazy, too. Plus I don't like change. Plus I love lj's formatting and commenting systems the best of all the blogsites I've been part of. So.
