My first instinct, honestly, is to duck my head and let all the drama pass over. It didn't affect me, and I didn't even know about it until it was over. However, I am reminded of the old story along the lines of, "Then they came for me, and there was nobody left to help."
There's no doubt somebody blew it. Big time. Resignations would be nice, but I doubt we'll see much of that. I'd join a class-action suit, but I'm not about to launch one. Besides which, I'm not even sure any lawyer would take on a class-action suit on these grounds. This particular morality card still carries too much weight in our society.
I don't know who started this or why. To me, it doesn't matter. SixApart's response should have been measured and considered beforehand, and they should have acted with restraint, not abandon. Instead, they were totally foolish. It's disappointing in the extreme, but I'm not sure how we can make that clear to SA and LJ administration. Which I dislike, because I much prefer making my grievances heard. Loudly.
