Yes, you do have a problem
Dec. 27th, 2011 01:16 amThis post is sort of about the LJ thing, but I've seen this happen over and over through the years.
Jill and Jack like the same company/service/media/forum/etc. (Hereafter shortened "company" for convenience.) The company does something to Jill. Maybe it bans her unfairly, refuses to listen to her concerns, treats her and people like her in a sexist/racist/ableist/homophobic/etc. manner. The customer service people are unimaginably condescending and rude to her. Jill complains online. Lots of people come out of the wordwork, saying, "I have the same problem. Let's band together and yell at the company." Other people say, "hey, that really stinks. I don't have the same problem, but I want to help you." So far, so good.
