Yeah; reading the Making Light thread alone gave me another side; I could see that the complainers were going about things the wrong way, exaggerating and not using channels correctly, and I'd hate to be in LJA stuck in the middle of this one.
6A aren't doing themselves any favours in the way they're handling it, and if it's partially led by legal concerns over pending US legislation (as it seems to be) then why don't they mobilise their userbase?
Far as I can see, 6A are at fault, the "boob nazis" have a point but are blowing everything out of proportion and LJA and observers are tuck in the middle.
And the "we hate 6A" crowd (who have a point) are using it as another stick to beat and taking sides. Ah well. Reckon it'll sort itself out in the wash, I just suspect that LJ is haemorraghing customers currently, and marketing is concentrating on other products...
