It's true that there was a situation on Live Journal that was intially handled *very* poorly, to put it mildly, by customer support at both Live Journal proper and Six Apart. There was a consensus among my peers (and fellow lactivists) that the default icon issue in regards to images of breastfeeding was being brushed under the table since "Nipplegate '06" just happened to coincide with the launch of Vox. Since my original post, 6A has continued its dialogue with my group, which has been greatly appreciated and should be noted here. Also, since that time I have personally used Vox and have found it to be a very intuitive blogging tool. I may not always agree with managerial decisions that affect the Live Journal community, and still feel that LJ Abuse needs to be vastly improved, but I won't dispute that 6A makes a fantastic product and cares about the blogging community.
