6A owns LJ now, and as the mothership, I'd expect 6A's professionalism to steer LJ through any rough waters. There's certainly an entire cast of skilled, and experienced, people working at 6A, and I'd expect at least some of them to have a clue about proper professionalism, stockholder announcements, policy changes, etc.
Thing is, I'm really starting to suspect that it's the LJ employees themselves who are freely, if perhaps unwittingly, sabotaging any policy changes 6A may be introducing.
I mean, it's not like 6A has really said that much, from what I can tell, and 6A does have a designated press/spokesperson, at that. The extent of anything truly official seems to have amounted to a press announcement about fundraising lifetime memberships -- at the same time LJ was busy pitching some lifetimers out on their asses. The timing on that was just too bizarre: it's almost like the left hand honestly didn't realize what the right hand was doing, and may still not realize. Possibly.
Sometimes I wonder if 6A isn't -- on some level -- distancing itself from LJ, now that it's realized LJ's a stinking tarbaby hell filled with unprofessional cowboying employees with little to no respect for the company or its consumers.
