Someone explain why this isn't actively stupid?

Making my previous post, I was met with this after posting:

"Your password cannot contain symbols such as @,_, (),etc. Your password is too easy to guess. It's recommended that you change it, otherwise you risk having your journal hijacked."

So... LJ wants me to back off to a purely alphanumeric password because my... symbol-containing password is too easy to guess?

What are you people, fucking idiots?

I've found out (through reading some 2000 comments regarding the upcoming downgrade of the flist reading page) that this is actually a bug and a ticket has been filed. :D (But they're ignoring hundreds of users reporting the glaring whitespace of the new flist page is giving them migraines, of course. Good old LJ.)
