.... Man, you people are cynical. Nobody completely fell for that one. And I went to all that trouble, researching all those links, copying over my whole journal, making a new post there so it might look like I was really going to be using it -- all for nothing. Tough crowd. :)

For the record .... while everything I linked to yesterday may be true, I can't honestly bring myself to care; it all seems a bit of a tempest in a teapot to me. And those who are calling any of these actions "censorship" need to crack open a dictionary every once in a while; it can't be censorship because LiveJournal isn't the government.
I may not agree with their actions, but I think they have every right to do anything they've done. As the journalist A. J. Liebling said, "the power of the press belongs to those who own one." These are their servers, and if they don't like something that's on here, of course they can take it down. And your words are your words -- you, of course, have every right to back them up elsewhere and put them up somewhere you have more control over, if you like.
Me, I do back up my journal every once in a while, just in case something does happen to this place, but I'm hardly going to leave in a huff. Not while y'all are here.
(On the other hand, I sure don't intend to give SUP any money ever, at this point, either.)
