I'm still not getting it. I don't even understand why they made an announcement about this on the Russian language news - I would think that informing the users would be a non-issue here. It's something that a new user would find out when they tried to create a new account and wouldn't be something that would affect those of us who already had accounts. I do agree that Management was being rather limited in their thinking that existing users would only have one account.
As for taking offense, I'm afraid that I'm not seeing it. Management stated that they made the account creation process easier. That doesn't in any way imply or infer that they think we're too stupid to choose between three options. I don't see where people are getting the "LJ thinks we're stupid" from the statements issued by management.
Mind you, I *can* see getting a little peeved at them for not just coming out and stating the obvious: "Basic accounds don't get us any money so they've been removed as an option for new users."
