Ooh! It's like The Theory Of Relative Assholiness!
When an asshole does something that isn't 100% assholy, like maybe he decides to NOT kick a kitten or he decides to NOT steal your lunch out of the work refrigerator, everybody is all "Ooooh wow that's great I've never seen you be so kind!"
But when a person who is always good does something like ask "Hey, if nobody else wants it, can I have the last piece of pizza?" everybody gets all "You are SO GREEDY! You used to be so nice!"
LJ said "Hey anybody mind if we put adds on here? If you don't want them that's okay we have a special kind of account wher you won't have to see ads" and everybody got all "OMG YOU ARE TH WORST THING EVAR!!!"
Facebook said "Yeah we're gonna give you all the ads, figure out ways to slip them in to your feed, change how you do everything so you can't figure out how to see the stuff you want to see, and what the heck we'll also go ahad and sell all your information to people. But here... you can play Farmville with your Aunt Petunia" and we're all OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH THAT'S AWESOME you're the best!!!"
