I'm so ticked off!

Fandom just can't seem to get away from the wank these past few weeks. For those of you watching as journals suddenly go friends-only, and don't know why, I'll explain.

Or rather, I'll link.

I'm SO ticked off about this, that there aren't really words. Well, there are, but I won't use them. Instead, for the first time, I posted a snark-filled comment to the people behind this massive LJ user/community deletion. There will hopefully be no trackbacks, cause I would hate to turn this journal into a cesspit of angry rhetoric and illogical fallacies.

I *was* going to post the comment I wrote, and see if they'd edit much of it before posting (it's moderated commenting), but I stupidly closed the window, and then copied the link from liz_marcs journal, thus overriding my clipboard. *headdesk*

But in summary - it was snarky and pissy - but no foul language was used, and I was fairly polite.

What can I say, I have headache (not tired enough to go to bed yet), and half my flist is either flocking their entire journal or looking for ways to back it up in case 4+ years of entries get deleted. (LJ Abuse is not intending to undelete anything, from what I can tell.)

I now have a tag for 'stupid wank' - that's how annoyed I am!

ETA: In case this didn't come across in my rant, LJ Abuse is suspending a variety of user and comm journals, based on the interests listed. Currently the most common interests are 'incest', 'pedophilia' and the like - though there is once case of 'beating people up'. (These are mostly interests listed for fictional characters in RPGs (villains) and various porn comms.) To be safe, I'd edit my interests of anything non-generic, because LJ Abuse is not looking at content, just listed interests. And there's no getting the journal un-suspended, either. Check out seperis for a running list of what's been deleted/suspended and what's happening around LJ and the like.

Damn, I was just reading about this. Seems like there's always some sort of drama going on. This is fiction, people. While I am in no way in favor of incest, child abuse, etc., I think that people need to be able to tell the difference between reality and fiction.

What I think is getting missed in all of this, is the fact that RL support groups have been shut down, too. (Fandom just has a louder voice and a larger network - and we're already riled up over the MJ statue and FanLib.)

The WFI idiots are all 'LJ is just enforcing their TOS - it's not our fault - stop complaining'. It's making me angrier the more I read. I really need to stop reading that frickin' blog, but I'm still waiting to see whether my comment has been 'moderated' to exstinction or not.
