LJ/SUP quietly removes filter

Without any sort of announcement, LJ/SUP removed the 'special' interests filter. Same way they put it in.

Are they not aware that this is a social service? Apparently we are all mushrooms.

They assume (with about 90% correctness) that we're a bunch of "breakfast bloggers" who would never even notice.

Srsly. Read the comment threads in any of the 'official' communities. LJ really *is* 99.9% populated by netards. (FP!!)

We're lucky that it has these nice community features to make local regions of less-idiocy.

Allegedly they "didn't notice" the filtering.

"Thank you for contacting us about this matter.

We became aware of an issue which involved the most popular interests list over this past weekend. The list has been restored to the proper format today.

We apologize, and this will not happen again. It was never the intention to insult anyone or to make a judgment on the content of these interests.
