Similar to what other friends of mine have posted:
If you aren't happy with the tone or direction that an LJ community seems to be heading, leave. Don't post an agrieved (sp) swan song guilt trip goodbye, just leave. Bitch in your own journal, if you must. Communities change. That's reality. If you aren't the owner/moderator, and you don't like the way it's run, tough shit. There are other communities, or you could actually get off your ass and start your own - then you would be in the driver's seat, instead of playing passenger trying to hijack the bus to Cuba.
If you don't like the material posted about, the subjects discussed, or the general tone of a community, Don't Read It, Dumbass!!! Like with a TV, you control the screen. If a community turns you off, offends you, or makes you angry, don't add it to your watch/friends page, and don't click on the cuts or even links to it (if you hover your mouse over a link, it should show the address it's linked to in the bottom of your browser.)
LJ is a leisure activity, and people form communities based on common interests. You can't waltz in to a community, whine and/or rant about how bad/rotten/evil/stupid/etc it is, and *poof* remake it into your own image (unless the existing moderator cedes it to you, which is unlikely) so don't even bother to try. If you can build your own, it means that other people share your vision and interest. If not, you can either slink back to the old community, or move on with your life.
