Tell me your name

As a way of keeping track of you all...

[Poll #1034231]

I'm not leaving, although I'd kind of like to. I don't know what to do-- I'm feeling very depressed about lj, specially because Abe Hassan (aka burr86 and livejournal employee) thinks now is a good time to publicly mock the fans.

The entry with his comment was eventually deleted by the community mod, but there's a screenshot here, and an article about it here. I was really pissed off about it yesterday, but this morning my expression matches the one in my icon. I am feeling rather blank about the whole thing.

It's all so depressing, isn't it? What the hell is wrong with him, that he thinks that's appropriate. And what the hell is wrong with 6A/LJ that they still have him *employed*. He *makes things worse*. That's not someone you want in your employ when your business is all about people.

And stupid, because seriously, why antagonise your market? We're the people that want those extra icon spaces, that want paid journals.

I want this to be sorted out reasonably and not to have to worry about it, so (aside from backing up to gj and ij and getting my fic on a proper website) I'm kind of... well, not ignoring, but trying not to get too *much*.

Me, I'm leaving lj when they pry it out of my cold, dead hands, but now I'm wishing that I didn't have a permanent account. Not because I want to leave -I like my flist, my groups, my icons, my tags, everything- but because I want to be able to apply an incentive, like not getting renewing a paid account.

actually, the fracas before was the thing that convinced me not to get a permanent account when they offered it again....

i wanted the freedom to not renew...
the paid account was a gift... so now, i'm not sure i will renew
when it is time

Mine was a gift a couple of years back, when they first offered them at a special reduced rate. And I was happy with it, I really was, I liked the security of it, and now... now, not so much.

Yeah, and I have heard a lot of people express that opinion - it's really not going to do SixApart's business any good whatsoever.
