bobquasit | Attempted News Post

I tried to comment on the post over in News about the suspension mess, because it has been bothering me a bit more lately. But comments just maxed out this morning.

I realize that I might as well write this on a piece of paper and throw it off the roof of the John Hancock building; nobody is going to read this who can do anything about it. But I might as well record it for myself, so that the next time Six Apart fucks up I'll have a record to point to.

Although that won't matter, either.

I haven't been closely following this whole mess - one of the advantages of having a tiny flist, I guess - but I will say that personally, I didn't trust Six Apart much to begin with, and I don't trust them AT ALL now.

Since this suspension screw-up, every time I'm on LJ I can't help but feel that it's not so much a community any more - it's a corporate product. And the people in charge honestly couldn't give a crap about me or anyone else here, as long as they can maximize their advertising revenue.

Which includes Brad, by the way - I'm pretty disgusted with his response, too.

I don't want to believe that everyone who gets some power, authority, or money turns into an asshole. But the evidence keeps mounting every day.

Six Apart sucks.
