"us" and "we" still don't work.

"hating a sidebar" is not a serious approach to UI. 
don't hate, fix & improve it or desist.

No, these aren't really justifications.

"Seconded". I find all claims of knowing what "SL users want" to be 
irrelevant; I assume & I hope LL shares this approach. 

It's not a secret that SL users have quite different needs and every 
user feedback should be supposed to be partial and specific to a 
particular subset of userbase.
