A note to English-speaking readers
It had been brought to my attention, that some of my comments, carried on Tuesday by a Russian online daily called Izbrannoe, drew immense criticisms from many American LJ readers and users, who were never given a chance to read them in the first place. Some were basing their impressions on a machine translation, and others, even worse, on a

А Вы не хотите перевести американским "читателям" эту Вашу реплику на английский, чтобы злопыхатели не исказили ее истинный смысл машинным переводом?
Позвольте уточнить, какой именной английский эквивалент русскому "скандалят" Вы изволили бы использовать?

Хотя, очевидно, что проблема далеко не в этом, а в том, что супу все меньшее количество народа доверяет, и все у большего количества людей появляется ощущение, что на юзеров супу посрать, поскольку маловероятно, что уйдут не только идейные еденицы, и постольку достойной альтернативы у жж нет, да и постольку уже имеющеющуюся аудиторию людям в большинстве терять жалко.

Я ж сказал уже: решение неправильное, должно быть пересмотрено. И будет пересмотрено, куда ж деваться. Ошибки надо признавать и исправлять, а не упорствовать в них.
Уже есть официальное объявление в lj_2008.

Что в таких случаях делать?
Сам хозяин журнала от интернета далеко и подонки этим воспользовались, загадили весь его журнал.

also, a huge number of LJs users are NOT American (and yet still English-speaking). Or, do we not matter as much?

And it got the same response, as yours did.

May I suggest that the next time you are contacted for an interview with the press, if you are 'asked me for comments which you can't offer, for lack of knowledge', your correct response should be "No Comment"?
Because the response you did give Izbrannoe was more than a little disturbing. And it certainly was presented as a SUP response, not as the opinions of a private blogger.
Your title at SUP is CBO (Chief Blogging Officer), according to your blurbs at technorati, BlogFerence, and other sources. "Social Media Evangelist" is cute on Facebook, though. And, of course, you have the right to call yourself anything you want ( ... )

I've now read four different translations of what he said, and the claim that he didn't dismiss user complaints and call users idiots looks to me like a flat-out lie. Whether or not other people have also lied is beside the point; this is about him, not about them.
Here is one translation, with a link to another. A remark by the translator sums up the matter:
"I felt that I no longer wanted to give my money to a company that repeatedly tried to implement changes that they knew would piss of their user base under the radar, only to lie, backpedal, and scramble when the inevitable happened and they were caught out.
... except in my own case, it's more a matter of not wanting to post my writing - for free, note - on a site owned by a company that acts this way, and not wanting to encourage my friends and fans to join so they can read the friends-locked stuff that may or may not be for paid publication later elsewhere ( ... )

Mr. Nosik spent several years in Israel, even served in their Army, and has a good grasp on what Democracy is. He came back to Russia since it is better place to make money in the Internet Communications over there.
I've heard Mr. Nosik's drivel in Russian. It's full of innuendo, denials, and half lies. For several long minutes he was not giving us the straight answer. Only at the end of the interview he admitted that, yes, the "freeloaders" would have to pull their weight by peddling whatever LJ will tell them to peddle. Mr.Nosik also implied that there is no other place on Internet where we, the "freeloaders", could get it sooooo good.
