Deletegate

Okay, so now I've seen Six Apart's apology. I'm not impressed. The guy's got his grovel on, but the fakery is right up front - what he actually says is that it could happen again - sure, why not? - and that there's some kind of weird psychoanalytical theory circulating in their offices about what the "interests" really mean (other than, say, the same keyword search they obviously used them for when making the deletions). I also note he closes his missive with the same OMG-so-tired-must-sleep plea for sympathy as the FanLib CEO.

Talk Like a CEO - Three Easy Steps!
1. Apologize with grace for Things That Have Gone Wrong, but make sure to assert that those things may happen again, because, well, things happen. Whaddygonnado?
2. Establish that you were away when Things Happened. Such unfortunate timing! Damn those vacations!
3. End on a humanizing note - you're SOOO TIRED, and therefore, sadly, your missive must come to an end. (Note: this approach only works in situations where you're already the boss, and essentially boils down to "talk to the hand.")

Anyway, I'm over at Greatest Journal, same name. Still here for the time being, but dude, they'd better make things right, pronto. I'm sure it's been pointed out that GJ could damn well go the same way, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be pissed off about this, or talk about it. [ETA: I also now have a JournalFen account, courtesy of jwaneeta - thank you so much!]

In other (personal) news, I'm still horribly behind on all things fannish, including my ficathon story. I suck. My head hurts. The world makes me sad.
