That's rather blunt.

“If you do not want to accept these changes, please cease using and/or accessing any websites powered by Kinja.”

Nice. There are about a million other, nicer ways that they ould have phrased that. But no, let’s take the most direct way that may result in more people leaving the forum.

Jeez.

Just imagine Nick Denton slapping you with his genitals, because that’s what he is imagining.

I thought Oppo was described recently in Jalop as “A blog where the inmates were completely in charge of the asylum”? They should know what they are getting with us.

Now if you will excuse me, I have to talk to dead cousin Ernie concerning that ringing in my ear.

That’s actually the standard for any TOS change on any website. They will not accomodate any user who objects to any change. And when people complain, they’ll point to the part that says they’re allowed to change the rules at any time they want to.

most direct way

That’s it right there. For maximum ass-coverage, they need to be as blunt and direct as possible.

Them lawyers ain’t care bout nobody’s feelins.

Pretty boilerplate. You'll have seen that language a billion times if you read the T&Cs. You do right? haha

Here’s a random one from a real company:

If you do not agree with these terms and conditions, you should immediately cease use of this website and Content.

I was laughing too hard at the idea of sites ‘powered by Kinja’. Interesting way to spell ‘broken’.

To be fair to Denton, I doubt he’d slap you with his genitals unless there was money in it for him. And to be fair to actual humans, I’m also pretty sure he’d let you slap him with your junk for a couple of bucks, given the other things he’s done for money.

Since Kinja will kinja itself on regular occurrences can we safely assume that kinja did not agree to kinja’s new terms and conditions and therefore stopped using kinja to kinja itself?

One of the reasons it’s flying out in the open as opposed to buried in the TOS exclusively is the number of dumb Facebook users who think that “free speech” somehow means that Facebook can’t control content on their own private site, and post those ridiculous copy/paste things. The phrase has likely been in the Gawker TOS since the site was founded.

Well, its not really different from some other annoucement. Essentially, you would have to go somewhere else if you don’t like the changes.
