Strikthrough II (or is it III? I've lost count)
rm sums up beautifully why I'm disenchanted with LJ and Six Apart right now. Add to this their continued official support of pro-ana communities and their role in the breastfeeding icons debacle.
Interesting reading in this context is the shortlived blog Exposing LJ Abuse, chronicling the, umm, interesting decisions made by the LJ abuse team. It just begs the question, on what planet is it a good idea to leave enforcing standards (that are nebulous to begin with) to a volunteer team? Wouldn't most reasonable people think that there would be a pretty good risk that you'd end up with lots of trigger happy volunteers keen on enforcing their own little agendas?
