Is the general population (ie The Straights = people without lj accounts) even aware any of this happened? I was pretty upset when I first heard about this because I had just (last week) paid for my next year of having a paid account...) but I have to confess that I heard about it at Whedonesque because no one I know was suspended or had even posted about it at lj. But it did feel like over-board knee-jerk censorship. Certainly nothing that warrants Holocaust comparisons, but you know it always starts with burning books.
I do think that SixApart is trying to fix things, and that they don't want to scare off thousands of paying customers (or even the clients with free accounts since they have hopes of selling them things someday). But I'm surprised that riddle_torture is still suspended because how can anyone have any objection to torturing Tom Riddle?
And mixing tequila and absinthe? That is just wrong! As bad as rum & coke.
