An Issue Of Freedom Of Speech

[poliphilo]

 Listen folks, this is not the time to quit LJ.

This article  explains what is going on.  LJ is the main platform for free speech in Russia, the hackers are trying to take it down. If we withdraw our custom we're doing exactly what the bad guys want.

Hang on in there.

Everything connects to everything else- that's what the Web is` all about, I guess.

LJ is special- not as popular as it once was (in the West anyway)- but special. I don't have a presence anywhere else. If LJ were to go down, I'd go down with it.

It is rather an education on how things are changing, isn't it? I remain unmoved by news of things I can do nothing about, and yet here is something encroaching right on my virtual yard.

And I can do something about it, by being patient.

Patience is an old fashioned virtue- one we neglect.
