I'd like to be the first person to say Thank you to Six Apart and Livejournal.

No, I am not joking. I now have a strong urge to slap anyone who's bitching about LJ's bannings. 'Cause, fuck, we have things good right now.

ETA: miriam_heddy calls shenanigans in the comments here and raises a few points against the essay. Keep it in mind, folks.

I'd be supremely interested in seeing this comm, especially if they're discussing this essay or the topic thereof. I'm suddenly worried about just how illegal fannish activity is.

I'd be happy to hear this is bullshit because, frankly, his observations scare me quite a bit.

This may not be the only one, but it's worth noting that he didn't engage them directly at any point:
