Did I do something wrong?

She asks a question. I answer it, albeit rather tersely. I'm not paid enough to be nice to people, y'know? She replies rather snittily (or so I thought). I point out the error in her statement, and I get called a bitch?

*looks down*

Nope, no fur. Still a biped.

Edit: She also appears to take offense to my answering questions I don't know with "you should check the support area". Well, I'm sorry, but I'm starting to notice that asking questions off of the support area tends to lead you to get a number of erroneous answers. Sad, but true.

(That, or I've been saying a lot of VERY wrong things to people on the boards, a truly scary thought)

Edit: I love you guys, I really do. But, please, can we stop troll-feeding? Sooner or later LJDrama or fandom_wank is going to pick up on it, and those people hate me. Which doesn't really bother me, but I like my actual journal being the first google result again.

Edit again: We're all made up.

Our love. It's so special.

The ex-admin in me is mildly annoyed by some of the followup comments though.

There are two kinds of abandoned accounts:
accounts that were used and no longer are being used
accounts with no entries, no comments posted, no comments received, and aren't being logged into

the former are safe, at least if they have any entries

the latter may one day be deleted and purged.

Some of the latter are even people who signed up for an account, didn't get around to using it, forgot their password, and changed email addresses. They'd like them to be purged so they can have their own username back. Some are accidental creations then abandoned. Brad has discussed the possibility of someday deleting these types of accounts with a system of warning people to log in if they want to keep the account.

However, currently no such system exists and they are clearly not going to be deleted. But I wish people wouldn't state permanent policy decisions so broadly that it ignores the different types of abandoned accounts.

That's why I don't say "it's not going to change", just "if it did change, the FAQ would change, and we'd hear about it. Until it does change, please go read the FAQ".
