I think I see things differently from most people because I've always seen LJ as a business, and that's how many businesses work. I recently had a change at work that will cost me thousands of dollars in compensation, if I ever get laid off. It was a business decision to benefit the stockholders, but it screws over long term employees like me. We had absolutely no say in it at all.

It's not so much that I trust LJ. I just don't think what I want counts for anything. ^_____^

Btw, thank you so much for being so rational about all this. You should see some of the other posts on my flist.
