Overwhelmed by change

[mrs_sweetpeach]

I'm not happy with what's going on behind the scenes here at LJ. ponderosa121 getting banned for life due to her artwork has made me angry enough to start searching for alternatives. The main problem, as I see it, is that my friends are departing to a number of different locales and I fear I shall either lose touch with them or waste an enormous amount of time logging in to multiple journals and checking flists.

While the reaction of LJ on this issue could doubtless be better handled, I'm not at all surprised that they felt they had to do *something* after they'd been advised of the content.

Several people on my flist have mentioned this issue, so knowing nothing about it, I found a copy of the Snape/Potter artwork that seems to be at the centre of the fuss.

Dunno about the US, but I suspect that placing that image in a publicly viewable location would be very close to a criminal offence over here...especially given the inherent teacher/pupil context.
