Strike?
Gwyn initiated it and Rheta is keeping a list of bloggers on strike against the new copyright regulations. But although I support the cause, I choose not to strike along with the rest of them.
The Lab has infuriated me in the past. We’ve had ‘broadly offensive’ and we’ve had ‘Lolita’, we’ve had the removal of a work of art because it had nipples, and we still have age verification. All that has passed by on this blog, and none of it has been enough to make me consider a strike. Hell I’ve been lied to by Robin Linden herself and yet I am still volunteering for the same Lab she’s representing. This copyright question however amazes rather than infuriates me and so striking is not an option.
But you may have noticed that I no longer use the Hallowed Words and Abbreviations. And that won’t change unless there’s any movement in the good direction from the Lab. It may cost me readers, but that’s their loss as well as mine.

This strike is a funny thing. I am silent and support the cause, though I am not sure strike is not a good way to go. For a while now, it is certain that two letters world is an experiment that will end so it is just watching the failure and learning on mistakes. So be it.
