I don't want to. It would be like... if I bought Windows - and suddenly, one day, it stopped working. I couldn't get an answer from Microsoft - and when they do get around to it, they say it's cause I installed Firefox. Or maybe because I wrote Microsoft sucks in a mail.
LOL I can't count the number of times my Windows should have stopped working :D
Latest, greatest news from LJ is that one LJ employee says that to link to bannable content (this works retroactively, too - that is every link you've ever made could potentially get you banned) is a bannable offense. LJ's own ToS states clearly that it cannot be LJ's responsibility what is placed on other servers - and it is thus, not a bannable offense.
Well that is certainly very contradictive *G* When have they said this? Recently?
I was upset too, when it was going on. But I did see LJ admit that hey hadn't been clear in their TOS, and that they had acted prematurely, and was contacting all the people they had wrongfully banned, which was about half of all the accounts they had banned, to talk to them about whatever had caused the ban. I did see them say "Yes, we messed up." Therefore I can't be upset anymore.
And I'm not paying for LJ anyway (nor would I ever want to, especially after this), so I don't expect more than what I would from any other free service. I just use it as much as I can for my own benefit *shrugs*
Again, sorry to see you go, but I understand your anger. I just personally feel that it's over and done with.
