Mass Deletion Leads To LiveJournal Revolt
Green Monkey writes "LiveJournal has been suspending accounts suspected of promoting incest — except that many of them were communities for survivors of abuse and people discussing Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita. Even after being informed of the problem, LiveJournal apparently refuses to reinstate the banned accounts. LiveJournal's official news blog has filled up with hundreds of complaints protesting the decision, so we could have another Digg-style user rebellion brewing." Update: 05/31 11:50 GMT by KD : strredwolf writes to let us know that in their offical blog LiveJournal admits to botching the suspension, saying "We made a mistake and now we are going to try to fix it."

I mean, with so many people screaming "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" all the time, you'd think they'd be happy to have someone finally actually listening and doing it. But no, they ban them all? None of this makes sense.
Never ever a sig so appropriate!
This thread... is USELESS without pics!
I wonder if everyone who posts to livejournal will put incest advice in their posts as a form of rebellion, and I wonder if we'll put incest advice in our posts and signatures to show our support.

It is somehow fishy that there are MANY communities discussing Lolita.

Heck, all we wanted was doing our thing in peace. And we know the religious nutjobs ain't gonna get off our back, so we thought, heck, who's gonna get ruffled 'bout a few people who enjoy to shag their sis?

Well, maybe when YOU talk about Fear and Loathing, you're not advocating drug use, but when I do it, I sure as hell am.
There was a billboard for some giant company by the side of the road as I drove by. If I had been driving on the road, I might have read the ad. As it was, my legal adviser advised me (or at least I'm pretty sure he did) that the speed limit did not technically apply to driving off the road.

Does this mean they're going to ban all of us from Kentucky?
