Um, just a thought

...instead of asking via cyberspace for a response.... why not go direct?

I've already called and left a message. This might be a better way to get an official response from Six Apart/LJ about the mass LJ deletions than having to leave comments on the latest lj news posts.

ETA: please pass this on if you feel like it, or link back, whatever to get the word out

You could also submit a write-up to digg and slashdot. That'll put some heat onto the situation.

point. will think about that.

This is a very good idea. digg (http://digg.com/) and Reddit (http://reddit.com/) both. What's a good target post for a link? Something that gives a sane summary?

I thought whoever posted to BoingBoing (http://www.boingboing.net/2007/05/30/lj_purges_incest_sla.html) did an excellent job of summarizing events. You could paraphrase and chop it down a bit for digg consumption. Mentioning incest, pedophelia, slash-fiction, and censorship all in one paragraph with a few links thrown in should be able to get it on the front page by the end of the day =) Just make it spicy. The same goes for slashdot. A lot of people on slashdot hate LJ - so getting a front page story on censorship by the company that owns LJ should be a snap.

I just hit Reddit (http://reddit.com/info/1upy8/comments/c1upyf?context=5) with the BoingBoing link. Let's see what Digg's posting interface is like...
