I'm not sorry to hear Pepsi has pulled out of the deal, though I'm a bit worried at the speculation that it may have been because of fears that neo-Nazi content put up on a Russian user's LJ, and LJ failing to respond in a timely manner (and I don't for a minute believe that that failing was intentional), has now tarred the whole of LJ with the same brush. If LJ should now be perceived as being a platform for neo-Nazis and other undesirables, what are any of us still doing here?
I'm not sorry to hear Pepsi has pulled out of the deal Have they actually pulled out? I've not seen anything confirming that, but - to quote Xander - it's funnier if it's true! :)
it may have been because of fears that neo-Nazi content put up on a Russian user's LJ, and LJ failing to respond in a timely manner You know I doubt that very much. There are after all 13 million of us, and LJ only has 115 employees worldwide... some things are bound to fall between the cracks, and I can't see how it can refelct badly on the rest of us. Ah well.
