piranhano wonder LJ has such a lousy reputation outside of its own little sphere. i had never quite realized why that is, being as my circle of actual friends stems from other places, and is not infested with the sort of major drama that seems common around here.
i don't mind doing abuse work at all; i am good at it and i neither look down on the users or feel i need to protect them and help them harbour illusions about what keeping a public journal means. but when the owner behaves as unprofessional as this one has since i've been paying attention, and when one of his employees thinks that's all just dandy, then i begin to see why this place is shunned by some whose opinion i value.
*retch*. it'll be somewhat less fun to do abuse from now on. and i am no longer sure i can last long in that endeavour. in fact i am thinking of quitting right now. funny, eh? i was sure the users couldn't get to me, and they haven't. it didn't even occur to me that the real crap would come from a completely different side.
