I do love LJ, but you have to wonder what they're smoking sometimes. Amazingly, on the very same day they've done this, they have also ceased to support tags with a forward slash in them. Because apparently they somehow don't realise that they are the hosting site of choice for a very large number of communities who have been tagging their posts "snape/harry" and so forth for years. It is almost like they are trying to piss off as large a proportion of their users as they can manage.
I suspect both changes will be swiftly overturned, as you say. But it actually scares me that right now, I could write whatever I like about you in this comment, including your real name, and then cross-post it to FB and Twitter along with a link right back to this post. Obviously, I'm not going to do that, even on a public post. But we should not all suddenly be so heavily reliant on the good sense of our friends to stop that happening.
