And Rage

[mishalak]

Gah. I cannot post comments anywhere. Stupid LJ. I wish to the stars that I'd never paid for a permanent account so I could dump this cursed worthless evil company. If I had money I'd use it to start a rival service for the only purpose of putting them out of business. If someone were starting a new service with half a hope I'd contribute money just to hurt LJ. I HATE THEM.

My mood is not at all helped by the fact that I'm seriously stuffed up right now. My head cold has not abated a bit, if anything it has gotten worse.
 

Comments

I'm wondering if not being a member of any of these things, and using RSS feeds to follow the people I care to follow, might be the right approach for me. I could comment in my own blog if I thought they read me (gosh, isn't that the way it was originally done?), or maintain an account for commenting only (that's where I am on LJ currently), or comment anonymously. Originally the "friends list" was the killer ap that forced me to have an LJ account, but that need may be passing.

I don't know if deadjournal.com will actually be reliable, stable, or well-behaved over time, but I think there are other spin-offs running the LJ software but with different policies.

Is your "can't post comments" a block, technical glitch, unexplained bug, do you have any idea?
