In response to the hoopla over strikeoutgate or whatever the hell you want to call it
red_silk_robe on the "incident"
"LJ/SixApart broke one cardinal rule in community: You didn't set a framework for communicating what you were doing and why. When you do that, wankers with victim complexes larger than developing countries rush in to fill that vacuum. Mass hysteria and mob rule take over a normally sedate homestead on the web.
Once people are done stapling the back of their wrist to their forehead I hope they get over themselves and go back to their damp and dirty little corners. For me, I'm tired of it. I've been through it far too often. My sympathy right now lies with Barak Berkowitz who seriously under estimated the noise of the disgruntled."
