About the lastest LJ/6Apart Thing

[mamadeb]

I'm in wait and see mode. They responded to grievances last time, they may well this time. They responded to facts last time, too.

We will see.

And, you know - I really, really, REALLY doubt that the 6Apart team is even aware that some Harry Potter fans are offline because of spoilers or Sectus.

I'm not defending what they said, and I'm not arguing with it. I'm just going to wait and see.

And there is no point in going anywhere else - everyone has terms of service.

I'm sure most have no idea about Sectus, but since they spotlighted the spoiler community they certainly know about all the hype surrounding the book release. IMO, the timing wasn't accidental.

Spotlighting a spoiler community and being aware of the hype (the whole world is aware of the hype) is not the same as being aware that people are going offline until the book is out.

Granted I have a huge and varied friendslist - I have not noticed a drop off in traffic.

Heh. I think my flist is mostly HP and with the exception of the spoiler community it's been a bit of a dead zone.

I only noticed this because another person on my flist posted a link to it.
I've disabled my community view (?show=PY) after some jerks in hp_storywriters posted spoilers...
