My thoughts on the latest SUP . . . thing.

First, I don't think the one-day boycott with accomplish anything. Nonetheless, I will be participating, out of respect to beckyzoole, who called it. Also, because I'll be at Purim celebrations anyway.

I was going to write a post about how it was always a good idea to look at things from other people's point of view, and we should look at how this whole thing appeared from Anton Nosik's point of view, about why he feels like HE'S being victimized, about why he feels he's being bullied, and what that says about him and his mindset, about what is in his mind, and how this should influence how we approach him.

Then I re-read his interview, and said, "Fuck it. He's just an asshole."

One-day boycott of LJ? Is that the idea here? And the boycott is because there aren't going to be free accounts anymore? LJ's already got my money, I don't see how my logging in or not on any particular day is going to make any difference.

The idea is not to create new content during that period. But before I participate in such a collective action, I'd like to know exactly what we are demanding.

I am under the impression it has less to do with basic accounts and more to do with the quiet censoring of interests that took place for much of this past month.

In my case it certainly does.
