I just learned of this whole thing, but I agree with you wholeheartedly. The only thing I remember that can vaguely be linked to the second statement is the whole fiasco with the deletion late last year or whenever, but i haven't seen it either.
Still I think that they went about it horribly. What happened to the 100Days thing where they were going to share ideas and plans and let users comment before implementing something - especially something this big.
I'm a paid user because I enjoy Livejournal, and I blog for myself, not for anyone else. I love the features so I pay. I have a couple of accounts that I no longer use that are basic accounts, i was considering deleting them, but i may start a community to give away these accounts.
I dunno, I won't be participating in this strike - if they wanted the effect to be larger they should have allowed more time and more publicity.
