OK, so lj_abuse asked me to delete this entry from feminazis:

For those of you who want to have some fun: go to anti_feminism and antifeminazi. Please troll responsibly.

A feed you should all subscribe to: feminist_otd. Today is Margaret Thatcher...

I changed it to:

For those of you who want to have an interesting reading: go to anti_feminism and antifeminazi. Amazing communities. I luuv them

At this point, nothing in the eldritch old regime of lj_abuse is going to change. These cybernetic (if they are even *that* human) malcontents and ethical greysports are only interested in perpetuating their secret agenda as much as possible before Six Apart moves in and destroys them. Right now it is just a pissing contest to them as they lay back in their elite treehouse club, masturbating each other and drafting up new "No Girls Allowed" signs that will be discarded at the first hint of their professional puberty

it's a shame you had to invoke godwin's law.

[elgorgo]

I am sorry, I am totally new to the internet and to LiveJournal. What is this Godwin's law of which you speak?

[dollarbeer]

Godwin's law (also Godwin's rule of Nazi analogies) is an adage in Internet culture that was originated by Mike Godwin in 1990. The law states that:

As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.
There is a tradition in many Usenet newsgroups that once such a comparison is made, the thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. In addition, whoever points out that Godwin's law applies to the thread is also considered to have "lost" the battle, as it is considered poor form to invoke the law explicitly. Godwin's law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups. Many people understand Godwin's law to mean this, although (as is clear from the statement of the law above) this is not the original formulation.

Nevertheless, there is also a widely-recognized codicil that any intentional invocation of Godwin's law for its thread-ending effects will be unsuccessful.

Why would editing a post rather than deleting it be good enough for them when it's never been good enough in any other situation I've ever seen?
