LJ screws up again...

This time they are going to force you to choose "male" or "female" in your user info by removing the "unspecified" option.

And yes, it's virtually certain they want this to enable advertisers to better target ads.

I'm giving a condtional "time to get a clue" wait period. to them,

From my readings, the "plausible deniability" centers on the code push process and an "alleged" block of code never intended to be released. IIRC that's what we made "Lorem Ipsit.." pages for. So my Tar&Feathers are to hand if needed, but I won't waste propane firing up the tar kettle til it's proved as claimed.

If it is as claimed, though? We may consider buying into Dreamwidth:)

Oh, like incompetence is better than malice?

Good point:) My point's a tiny long- forgive that- but it may help.

NO ONE has need-to know of anything related to Gender and us. Oh, we can decide that a friend,lover medical caregiver etc has that need. But even then -it's by OUR CHOICE. Anyone presuming to say otherwise is risking a rain of Truly Bad Karma coupled with a flood of EARNED hate. I just want to be sure if it's malice, greed, innocent code glitch- or something worse than all of the three combined.

If it's malice or related?- Not even a #deity has much chance of saving the perp from all our revenges:>
