Frazzled Nerves

Single mother of four busy children: Ari-16, Stinka-13, Boy-Boy-12 and Bird 10. I work in the telecommunications industry and have been for the past 16 years.

And LJ Epic In Short

A few days ago, Live Journal (LJ) exploded. Some whack job group called Warriors for Innocence decided to get rid of the pedophiles of the world. I admire them for their wanting to keep the world safe and for wanting to protect the children, however they went about it the wrong way. Basically, they scared 6A shitless. 6A decided to suspend all journals that had incest (or any form of -cest), villian, lolita, shota, rape, etc. You get the idea. These people didn’t realize or care that some of these groups were help groups for rape/incest/etc survivors or fandom related. 6A just shut down hundreds of journals. Yesterday, they finally, after over 48 hours and speaking to the press, decided that they fucked up and unsuspended all the journals, even the bad one, asking all community or journal owners to correct their interests, removing questionable content.

Here’s some things I found interesting:

Because of this fiasco, fandom gets closer together, no matter what fandom is involved

6A really knows how to bite the hands that feed them. We put more money into that service than the advertisers do.

There are many, many whackos in denial

There are many more people that are naive than I truly expected

Some rednecks are truly stupid and need to stop fucking their parents

Cat macros are funny as all hell

Despite 6A pissing me off more than they already have, I can’t see myself leaving unless some of my closest bloggers do

I don’t need Right Wingers trying to raise my kids. I do the do and do a damn good job of it too!

People seriously need lives and that doesn’t include me because you see how infrequently I post here.

And you’d think people with kids would finally learn that the internet is not your babysitter. The internet is for porn!

Truly, this fight is not over. I don’t care what kind of apology 6A gives. It is not enough. Normally, when they get an abuse report, they notify the journal or community owner first, giving them enough time to correct the issue. Instead, they just when suspend happy. Mind you, for years, Perverted Justice had been telling them about real pervert journals, but do they listen? Nope. But they did listen to this group. Then they backpeddled.

Well, that’s it for now. I may post more later, but I have to read my incest porn right now. Hey, if two people want two headed babies, that’s not my problem.
