Oh, so you, too, got attitude from existing users by the boycott and speaking out against the changes. God, and I thought I KNEW some of these people. I guess not.
It seems that some take an attitude that if it doesn't "immediately" effect them, it's all "business as usual." How about the rights of other LJ users? How about that they made many of the changes without telling anyone? How about getting rid of basic, free accounts?
It's turning into the people's republic of Russia over there and some just want to bury their heads in the sand!
