You know that whole breastfeeding icon controversy?

phinnia says what I would like to, only with so much more .... persuasive rantiness.

So why do we have to follow the blinkered repression of small town america?</i? Because small-town America can make things very very difficult for LJ, and LJ is trying to resolve things in a manner which will have the least amount of impact. Had LJ prohibited the images in all userpics, then that would have been something to scream about. It's not fair, and it stinks, but it's reality.

That's odd... I got the full text of your reply in the notification email, but only the quote is visible here... Is there an HTML problem?

It's not fair, and it stinks, but it's reality.
but for some reason it can't be seen at the moment.

If this little tiny tail of small town America can wag the dog of the whole US legal system and tell an international company what to do and be allowed to get away with it then I suspect I will not be long for LJ, and will join the ranks of the departing.

I'm sick of the way this is allowed to happen and its time that companies that bend over when this kind of trick is pulled got punished by the rest of us.

Sadly, as a permanent account holder, I can't just stop paying them.
