We might forgive. We won't forget.

Well, so. Let's get caught up:

LJ finally puts a statement out. Unfortunately it's a half-assed apology consisting mainly of "Okay, maybe we made a mistake, but it's your fault for making us think you were pedophiles!!!1!"

Or maybe I am being unduly harsh because I have a cold and have been trying to get in to post this entry for over an hour? Your decision.

They've started undeleting communities. Randomly. Apparently some of the actual pedophilia comms are back up, while the fandom and literary groups remain down. Oh, LJ.

On a brighter note, I'd just like to say how proud I am of fandom in general. "The only time het, gen, and yaoi worked together", one of the icons going around says, and that's pretty darn accurate. Even as LJ made me question why I'm here, fandom showed me why it's the best place to be. ♥, guys.

Hopefully LJ and 6A will get their acts together now and 'net life will go on as normal.

Did you hear that fanficrants was reported by some fuckturd from Warriors For Innoncence because someone apparently caught their 12 year old reading the comm? These people are insane. I can't believe they're being allowed to hound and harrass LJ users like they are doing. People need to take a stand against them because it's really not on. Hunting down peadoes and psychos online is a job for the real police and people who are professionally trained. WFI seems to have a very scary obsession with LJ and coming after people here and it's making me so angry because they obviously have no fucking clue about what they're doing and are only causing harm to those who mean no wrong.

The whole thing is seriuosly disturbing. I'm so sad at what's been happening with FanLib and now WFI. :(

Well, at least something is being done, and I'm extremely proud of fandom for what's been done also. ^__^ I'm glad to be sticking around if only for that sense of community.

Ahahaaa. That icon wins~

Also.... eljay. ::shakes her head:: At least there is positive motion being made, even if it's not the most even trip.

*shakes head* I've been a total observer in this. Actually, I had no idea this was going on until you started posting about it. (No comms I'm a member of where affected... and I'm already in the habit of f-locking anything that goes into slash, etc territory anyway because some of my family and old college friends are in that scary extreme-Christian conservative mindset... *sigh*)

Re: WFI. Oh joy. I love it when vocal, closeminded idiots give Christians a bad name, don't you? *rolls eyes* ("Eeeeek, the scary secular world is against us! Why, why?? Revolt!" No shit? Then maybe you should stop making all of us look like arrogant, elitist jackasses then.)

I'm so far over it. I am satisfied with LiveJournal's response and I am satisfied with the timeframe in which it was given. Sure they could have come out and made a statement immediately, but wouldn't that have been jumping the gun? No? And isn't that the exact thing that got them in to trouble in the first place?

Livejournal does have to take care to please its members, but livejournal is under no obligation, constitutional or otherwise, to allow us do what we do, and say what we say here. This is their house.

They acted hastily and fucked up and now they've admitted it and have taken steps to remedy it. I don't see the point in being angry anymore.
