hmm i was hoping for an option to make a reply flocked. doesn't look like that exists. looks like the current issue is some of the less than kosher slash... rapefic, chan, stuff like that. i know on other sites like myspace they've gone as far as banning people with some record of being a sex offender (one guy wrote in to wired, the guy in question didn't have a history on myspace as a sex offender and had not done anything to earn a banning, but his name was in a meghan alert or something).

Why the heck would they ban LJ stuff??? Sheesh. I wonder if this is a reaction to the recent current events...If that's the case, there are STUDIES that show that assumptions like video games causes violent behavior is patently false. Journals are journals. I don't go online to look for journals to read so that I might follow their mandates. Interests are an individual thing, leave them alone. GAH.
