Probably an unpopular opinion, but...

...my take on the whole LJ/Six Apart/SUP panic?

Alaska is melting. Oh, and Georgia is baking.

IMO, it's all about perspective. To quote the esteemed and precociously wise Linus Van Pelt, "Five hundred years from now, who'll know the difference?"

Now I'm going to bed. i_am_a_hannah is coming home tomorrow and I must get things ready before work. Must sleep NOW.

I like Peanuts.

Like I said, it's an unpopular opinion. ;)

It's not so much that as it just...doesn't really make sense to me. Are you saying that because one is a concern the other shouldn't be?

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

I absolutely think it's a concern, I'm just trying to put things into perspective. It's a concern, and a valid one, but it's not a disaster, which from some of the posts I've been reading, a lot of LJ-land thinks it is. LJ isn't the only fish in the sea.

I guess I just don't have the same people friended as you do. No one has seemed in dire meltdown panic mode on my flist, so I don't have the same perspective.

I've read a lot of honest-to-gods conversation, which is a Good Thing, don't get me wrong. But there's been some histrionics, too. It happened when Six Apart came in, too, and it ended up more annoying than catastrophic.

Having said that, I didn't much like having to stick my birth year up on my profile to join a community. LJ is getting Big Brother-y, but on a much, much smaller scale than say, the United States Government.
