Will the drama continue?

Screw it. It was going to be an ETA for this, but now it is a whole new post. Sorry if I'm spamming.

RE: the previous post: cleolinda lists out what's been going on.

BUT!

theljstaff aka LJ official posters, just posted in lj_2008 an apology. It's not in news, which is where it probably should also be, but it is an official LJ community. Huh.

The announcement last Wednesday was a mistake in regards to Basic accounts, as the change was not clearly stated, it did not allow for you to provide feedback, and went into effect immediately. Many of you have pointed out that the decision worried you less than the way it was communicated. You should have been given a voice, and you were not; we didn’t follow our own rules, and we apologize.

At this point we are working on a solution to enable existing LiveJournal users to create new Basic accounts as so many of you have requested. Nothing has been decided yet, but we are considering options which would allow existing users to continue to create new Basic accounts.

I'm beginning to wonder if it is two different people posting this stuff. Considering the tone of the last news post. Maybe the two should meet and trade PR tactics.
