So lj_biz has spoken...
And as some people have said: well that took a lot of time and a lot of words to clarify very little at all. For the first time since the start I'm honestly angry instead of just disappointed but understanding regarding Six Apart's methods.
While my big girl pants are still most of the way on, there are some things it seems that I still need to clarify. I'll update this with time stamps if in my browsing I come across any other incorrect information put forth in reference to or defense of me that I haven't already debunked in previous posts made here in this journal.
- I did not have a permanent account. I had a regular paid journal, with the added paid icons. Mine had been paid journal, however, since very near when my account was created (in late 2002, I believe) without lapse. For the record, I have never personally spent money on my journal although I have bought time and icons for others. All paid time for my journal was gifted to me by friends/fans of my work who were extremely generous before I ever even needed to think about it. As Six Apart's decision is to not offer me any recompense for my remaining 5 months of paid time, I plan to contact these persons and see how I might make things right as soon as my primary computer is back home with me again.
Those of you who are trying to get a clear statement out of Six Apart, I wish you the best of luck.
(I'm also deathly curious as to what that german article said, translation anyone?) [eta: in the comments!] When all is said and done though, I'm still more concerned about the security issue I posted about early this morning.
If anyone has reported it, where is their response on that?
