"Generally the audience Of liveJournal is divided into three groups. There is the taciturn majority, which uses [LJ] for its needs and it is absolutely unimportant to that, who, where, to what money, for what reason this resource created, he develops and it supports. There is “positive minority " (in the Russian segment - approximately 7-10 pct.). These people [LJ] it pleases itself, they consider it for themselves useful even they want so that it would be developed. They us help, in that number - by design criticism, because of which we, by the way, correct the committed errors. And there is the third category of people. They continuously, for the course of the entire history of existence Of liveJournal come out with the loud initiatives, whose purpose - to cause loss [to LJ], to its creators, to ruin, to condemn, to do harm to reputation. In essence the desire to draw attention to itself moves by such people. And this by them each time succeeds."

Machine translated via Word 2007 integrated translation filter. Other than additionally translating Cyrillic characters into "LJ" in brackets for clarity, no other edits made by me. I encourage you to read the full text of that article, though. Even in mangled English via MT, you can still get the sense that Nosik does not like the LJ userbase. He mostly addresses concerns of the elimination of the "Basic" account, but that's not even my personal issue per se.
