See? That's my point. I'd rather have an answer that I'm not crazy about, than getting vague answers or no answers at all.
But the thing that really stands out is the whole "unwilling to host" issue. INAL, but even I know that the line between Intrenet service provider/publisher is a pretty thin one. And that just puts 6A awfully close to the edge.
And even if they don't have lawyers, you'd think they'd at least be looking at how other social networking sites deal with these issues and learn from those successes and mistakes.

Now that I've spelled out why you aren't getting my $150, I'm going to tell you what I did do with that $150.
I have:
Spent $40 to purchase a permanent account on InsaneJournal with extra userpics Spent $25 on a Pro Account for one year on Photobucket (just today, in fact!) Donated $25 to the ACLU. Yes, I know that they have zero to do with corporate policy and would be zero help if you decide to screw me over because of my content, but it's the principle of the thing. Put $60 in my savings account, where it will earn interest for me instead of for you

Always best to prove that you actually did intend to spend the money, I say. that and I lost track of how many people who are rolling their eyes over this are claiming that the people complaining had no plans at all to do so.
So, I thought it would be good to state in those comments where the money did wind up going - as opposed to them.
You have just solidified in my mind why I don't want a permanent account....I may also be in love....but that's beside the point. I'm really glad you were able to put a coherent spin on all of this. the strikeout really struck home for me in that I saw just how vulnerable we as a fandom community really are...All it takes is *one* angry and abusive voice and hundreds are silenced. I'm glad we struck back and got reinstated but that is just until the next attack and there will be another one

I have to confess, the whole, "Oh, but we're donating money to all these awesome causes" thing just pissed me off MORE. They DO think we're that stupid, don't they?
