Hitsugaya - Fighting Will
I originally wanted to write how good I felt today.
I wanted to write that I feel so very light and free because I have done all the translations for this week and I can now finally relax a little. Not that I don't have any homeworks left of course, but it's just way more relaxed now.
I wanted to write how much I enjoyed finally being able to walk to university instead of taking the urbain train, I've been ill long enough.
I wanted to describe how beautiful the new walking tour to university I took today was, with splendid old parisian houses everywhere, and how amazing the rays of sunlight were on those buildings even though it was that cold I had to snuggle in my favorite scarp again.
I wanted to tell you how much I missed to have the time and energy to spend almost two hours preparing my lunch, yummy japanese chicken curry rice!♥
And just wanted to write how much in general I liked the day today.

Instead, I will just have to annoy you once more with an angry rant. And because I'm still that utterly speechless, I will just link to the posts in question:

First of all, this post in [info]ljspeaks for a very good overview of what's very very wrong with SUP. And if you're still not nauseated yet, Here you go for the complete version, translated from Russian.

I am still speechless. I have absolutely no idea what I should say. I still can't stop shaking my head in disbelief, that users, never mind whether they have never dropped a single cent to support the site financially, watch ads or have directly paid for their right to stay and enjoy their time here, some of them for lots and lots of years, are called "the enemy". Because they dare not to be happy with whatever the god-like owners of this site are doing in the past, present and future. And express their unhappiness with acts of terrorism, like actively trying to destroy the business, blackmail them with a strike threat and... yeah. I'm beginning to wonder why they didn't just ban permanently everyone how had the bad idea to leave a comment on the last [info]news post to express this criminal unhappiness.

Once again, I will not leave LJ now and today. My paid account will still last for a while now (and now I'm not only regretting that I renewed it only recently, but literally slapping myself for that now!), so unless they kick me out, I'll stay for that while. And try not to lose hope that miracles may happen after all. But I think I'm going to mirror my lj probably on InsaneJournal anytime soon, because that's what everyone seems to recommend most at the moment, or in case I find another blogging service that's even better create another backup journal. It's not only that I don't want to give LJ any single more cent, but I don't want to stay here either for any longer time than necessary if users (customers!!!) are called the enemy and that they fucking don't care whatever we think or say as long as we don't behave like happy little sheep who won't follow the sheppard or the sheepdogs blindly and no with not one single meeeeh of criticism.

I don't know if some of you might think I'm overreacting. As a disclaimer, I will once more repeat that I think it's a perfectly valid business decision to make new accounts ads-only unless paid. I hate it, but it's their business, it's their decision, they can do whatever they want. But what infuriates me is the way they're treating their custome... no, wait, the little internet parasites that are lucky enough to be tolerated here - as long as they say yes and amen to every change (whether for the good or bad, no, scratch that, there is no bad since everything is for the good) and certainly don't protest when they don't like a thing.

And in the (unlikely) case anyone missed my last post, here be the post about the strike.

Ja, habe ich. Ich wollte eigentlich noch den zweiten Link dazueditieren, hab's aber vergessen.~_~
Wobei ich ehrlich gesagt keinen so großen Unterschied sehe, wie man mir einzureden versucht, dass es ihn gibt. Sicher, die eine Version ist ein wenig weniger ruppig, aber der Inhalt ist noch immer der gleiche, und ich fühle mich immer noch verarscht!x_X

Naja, die ganze Situation ist unmöglich.

Oh, und Anastasiya hat meine Emailadresse in einer Email der Prof ausgemacht und demenstprechend wieder ontakt! YAY!

Ja, so ist es. Ich habe zwar nur gesehen, dass sich dieser Nosik-Typ inzwischen auch auf Englisch rechtfertigt hat oder so und dass SUP vielleicht sogar ein wenig zurückrudern mit den Basic Accounts, aber... ja. Vertrauen kann ich ihnen nicht mehr, so sehr ich positive Rückveränderungen und Weiterentwicklungen begrüße.

YAY, das ist toll!:D

Wow. Nein, ich finde nicht, dass du überreagierst.
Ich trauere zwar um die über die Jahre schön gewachsene Fangemeinschaft hier, aber noch mehr werde ich hämisch lachen, wenn der ganze Zirkus den Herren Overlords in den Hintern beißt... weil ihre Kunden, die ja ach-so-verabscheuenswert sind, sich was besseres gesucht haben.

(Außer wir werden alle nach Sibirien deportiert und dort an unsere eljays gekettet. -__-)

Und du warst sogar noch viel viel viel länger hier als ich und warst hundertmal so involviert in den Fandoms.^^; Ich werde LJ wirklich vermissen, oder selbst wenn ich nicht irgendwann wegziehen sollte, dann werde ich zumindest die unbeschwerten Tage vermissen, wo ich mich nicht täglich fragen musste mit was für Sachen die demnächst wieder kommen werden.;>_>
Das ist es eigentlich. Ich will hier eigentlich gar nicht weg. Aber ich will den Kerls auch nicht die Genugtuung geben, dass wir hier eh nur rummosern und am Ende doch alles brav schlucken und hier bleiben. Und womöglich noch unsere Dollars und Rubels und wasweißich freundlich weiter auf ihr Konto überweisen.

Yay, Sibirien!\^0^/ Soll ein hübsches Flecken Eis Erde sein, auch wenn die Straßen nur im Winter von Trucks befahrbar sein sollen. Gibt's dort Internetverbindungen? Krieg ich dort auch meine "fast-line" auf die ich als bezahlter Account ein Anrecht habe?
