Oh, for the love of all that's holy

So SixApart bought LJ.

Big fucking whoop-te-do.

To hear people's reactions to it, you'd think LJ had been bought by Microsoft and was forcibly being converted to LivejournalXP.

Let me ask the grand assortment of Chicken Littles this: have you ever known [livejournal.com profile] bradfitz to be an idiot? No, you say? Wellllllll, then..

Get your heads unburied from your sphincters and quit being so damn panicky, already. As [livejournal.com profile] bradfitz has said time and again even before SixApart became part of the picture, this is his baby and he wouldn't sell it if he didn't think it wasn't going to be just fine.

Get a collective grip, will you? Jesus.

Problem is, not all that is evil issues forth from Bill Gates. The trotts have a reputation already for screwing some of their users in the name of the bottem line. And Brad has already admitted that as a businessman, he makes a damn fine programmer...

That, and the majority of the people doing the hollering and shouting are former Six Apart users. Which is enough to make me, and number of other people nervious. Or maybe I just had too much coffee today.

Has anyone looked into potential alternative Family Seats? I sense the possibility of an Arabella on the horizon...
