I'm talking
I wanted to post a big post about the boycott, but I felt my time was better spent browsing the big Net for my new favourite pairing, Lorne/Novak of Stargate Atlantis.
I do need to make an entry today, because of the lj boycott that was announced. I refuse to be aligned with people who use the fact that the majority of users find that polite and constructive criticism is the way to go, are behind their often-irrational attacks on the company owning LJ at the time. Noone is perfect, SUP, Six Apart are all there looking out for themselves and there is no business model for dealing with something like LJ in the first place.
I refuse to join in the boycott, especially those who used the fact that the idiot from SUP, who really did give an interview that would have any PR person cringing is Jewish, to advocate anti-Semitism. Yes, I am fully aware that not all are anti-semites, however when someone uses the phrase of 'useful anti-Semitism' and thanks to this cool user , who in this entry talks about finding this horrible phrase in one of the comments to lj boycott posts, my blood starts to boil.
So no, I am not supporting the strike for reasons that I do not agree with the main reasons for them. I also refuse to associate with anti-Semites in any way.
