Oh bollocks, why should I carry on

[beer_good_foamy]

So this is my last LJ (cross)post. I didn't want it to end like this, but with LJ all but declaring war on their own users, it's just no fun anymore. So, about 36 hours from now, I'll delete this journal.

I'm not leaving fandom, at least not yet. I will still be posting at my Dreamwidth account beer_good_foamy (which by then should be a complete backup of this LJ, and I'm working on getting all links right, though that might take a while) and at Archive Of Our Own. I'd love it if you joined me there.

If not, then I just want to leave this note to say thank you to everyone. I've had some of the best times I've ever had online right here, whether reading or writing fic, discussing the intricacies of how Ingmar Bergman relates to "This Year's Girl/Who Are You?" or all-penguin AUs and rocket launcher fic, personal discussions and supreme silliness. I've laughed, cried, raged and giggled at LJ. Thank you, one and all, for listening, and for all that you've shown me and shared with me. I will really miss this place.

makes sense. I'm not sure I'll delete but I will deffinitely cease to crosspost.

No saying if the russian overloads wont delete it though.

Considering that this is one example of the so-called "extremism" the TOS forbid, I wouldn't be surprised...



But even if LJ don't actually act on any of that, the mere fact of forcing people to sign an agreement in a language they don't understand, and responding to questions about it with this kind of passive-aggressive bullshit, would be reason enough for me to run for the hills.

I think I will make that my header image over at LJ :)

And see when and if they act on it.

And done :)

Nice. How does it feel to be an extremist? :)

I'm rather used to it. Allthough I haven't moved much pollitically over the last 20 years, it feels like the world has moved so much around me that by now I am a die hard radical.
