Oh, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's all related, I just want to know the specifics rather than the eternal Lj-Is-Evil Waah... There are definitely aspects of lj that I'm not keen on, and this adlink thing is one of them - but I guess I'm cynical enough to think that almost everyone, and especially people who've gone financial with something that started out freely and gorgeously, are at least a bit evil. They've been sucked by money to start with - of course they're gonna keep trying to get away with stuff. Look at zine publishers who include the cost of their con attendance in zine prices... (*g*)
Thing is, people get away with it as long as it doesn't affect the way most people are using something - that's why I think this latest issue will be taken care of somehow - cos if I've noticed it, then the odds are most other people have too...
What bugs me is that the specifics that are really an issue will be clouded over by the Lj-Is-Evil issues, which are more... philosophical in nature... Okay, evil, evil, evil, but unless the people shouting this are screening all their food and other consumables for evil, then... we all pick our battles, I guess...
