LEST I FORGET

Oh yeah, the LJ Boycott...

Like a lot of other people, I'm really annoyed by a company that makes major changes in its policies without informing people, or otherwise continually messing up their PR.

So - although I really doubt it will make any difference or bring the LJ bosses crying to their knees, I am joining in with the Propsed LJ Boycott.... from Midnight GMT tonight to Midnight GMT tomorrow night, I will not post or comment, nor log in and read.

And if you're listening, God? It's me, Margaret... er, LJ? Stop messing things up!

(In case you live further into the LJ cave than I do: it's because all new free accounts come with ads attached - disgusting - and because LJ have filtered the list of Most Popular Interests to remove unsightly interests like Bisexuality and Homosexuality - questionable, worrying, and make Hulk Smash me cross).

I'm boycotting by default simply because it's a holiday for us and I will be spending the day napping as much as possible.

I really don't care much for these boycotts though. Strongly Worded Letters and petitions would be more appropriate, however, the nature of this medium leads to far too much wank and turns any such effort into a waste of time. Almost as bad as sending crackers to Sci Fi after they cancelled Farscape.

Changes can be forced upon even the Big Businesses if the right people put their minds to it and get to the top. The wankers need to recognize that and get on board rather than undermine the efforts without the wank.

(Once, many moons ago, I was one of those right people. Now, please refer to what I said about napping.)

Homos? Seriously?

That's... fucking annoying but LJ is my crack.
