perro because it pretty much sums up my feelings.
LiveJournal is a service. I pay for said service.
I feel I utilize this service more than enough to legitimize paying a very minimal yearly fee. I think any regular poster should realize how effective this medium is towards meeting and maintaining relationships with others. If that's important to you then stop being a tightwad and help this business provide you with a venue you have grown to utilize often and appreciate.
Do I think the way they handled themselves was kosher? Probably not. But I think this "strike" is a farce. LiveJournal is a business. There's capital to build, upkeep involved and staff to be paid. I consider this current unrest the equivalent to the days following a con: some people are immensely grateful; others bitch and moan about this and that and never realize how much blood, sweat and tears are involved in the production of this service patrons all gobble down and enjoy.
So before you cry bloody murder please take a good look at your LJ usage and try and think how your communication with others would be different without it.
