(lupie, lizzip, aldabra There was an lash out against livejournals that list potentially objectionable interests, I hear including fiction, or victim support. See, reasons for decentralised socialising forums.)

Conveniently, I don't have any interests. I've won! Mwahaha! Wait, no, that makes me sound sad...

Go and trace the links, I haven't really, not expecting, as I said, to suffer :) I haven't followed it, but the idea is apparently:

An external campaign, Warriors For Innocence, took a self-appointed crusade to defeat paedophilia by ridding livejournal of paedophilic journals. Livejournal banned many users listing "paedophilia", "rape", etc, in their interests, including, livejournals of roleplaying villains (with large disclaimers), and communities for victims.

I could also see it impacting friends who are just shocking for the sake of shocking, but not otherwise evil. There was a word-of-mouth buzz suggesting anyone potentially vulnerable to back up their account and maybe temporarily delete it.

I don't know how it did/will turn out.

The links are all forbidden from here.

(two of them are 403, and one of them is "you are not authorized to view this protected entry". I am /still/ trying to work out what causes LJ to have two kinds of forbidden)

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

No idea.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Did you try google? http://community.livejournal.com/suggestions/530217.html?thread=5719849#t5719849 sounds like it makes sense, apparently it depends on their journal's style.

[mair_in_grenderich]

ah. fair enough

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Oh dear, I think I might have been sarcastic. I think I *meant* to be helpful, it just went wrong somewhere along the line...

[mair_in_grenderich]

I thought it was helpful; I've wondered for ages.

*runs away with the hugs*

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Aw.

And the wonderful thing about hugs is, the more you give, the more you have :)

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Also, chases *deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle*

[mair_in_grenderich]

what will you do if you catch me?

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Apparently, at the end of the rainbow, there's a giantess. Aaaagh!

[mair_in_grenderich]

... sunbathing by the Great Blinsk Sea.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

...leaning backwards slightly.

OK, GIANT FLURBLE! PUT DOWN THE HYDROELECTRIC POWERSTATIONS BY THE GREAT BLINSK SEA, AND PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD...

[mair_in_grenderich]

uh huh. Can I watch television? In a tuxedo?

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

... I don't know. I'm not much of a judge of giant-hydroelectric-crushing-bikini-women-tuxedo-wearing-television-watching-abilities. *Probably*, but I'm not sure.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

What is *that* icon?

[mair_in_grenderich]

my mother. when she was much, much younger.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Aw!

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

I don't know, if you analyse it it doesn't work. It probably involves hugs.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Doh, sorry! They must be friendslocked and I didn't notice. Sorry, I hate that.

Try http://nebris.livejournal.com/2258320.html and http://alcina2.livejournal.com/192403.html for an introduction. (Or try googling something. There ought to be a wikipedia for breaking news.)

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. I meant, this sort of thing, which mayn't be news enough to go on a real news page (though is a lot more relevant to a lot of people than things that often make the news)

PS. See meiron's post, she seems to have a consolidated link.
