I see your point regarding the ubiquity of assholery, but I don't agree that it's completely platform-agnostic, if that makes any sense. If I make a post about something on my LJ, I can control the scope of the discussion in the comments very easily. Same for moderators on comms. Sure, copy-pasting exists, but that's not a common problem unless you're talking Category 5 Wank. But on tumblr, once it's out there it's trivial for text to be reblogged beyond the scope you intended it for—the system practically encourages such behavior.

It's not that nothing nasty ever happened on LJ; it's just that tumblr is not and was never meant to be a discussion platform. It's a sharing platform, which is great and useful, but not the same thing.

And as far as your suggestion that I or anybody else simply seeking a discussion just use another platform, well, yes—except tumblr is Where Fandom Is now, and I'm not the kind of tectonic-plate-level BNF that can simply decide to have my fandom conversations somewhere else. I have to go where the conversation already is. And right now, whether I like it or not, that's tumblr.
