So a user of livejournal got multiple journals deleted because they posted a sexually explicit picture of Harry Potter and Severus Snape.
The LJ HP community has got kinda up in arms about this, posting various cat macros and multiple insults, and deriding LJ much (possibly some suppressed anger from a similar incident a few months ago)
Then some people posted more cat macros making fun of the first people.
So whose actions do you think are the most shameful in this scenario:
Livejournal (owned by blog company SixApart) with vague rules they were enforcing;
the Fandom (made up of a lot of people and owned by no one!) with their threats of ending their paid accounts (But not an outright boycott, hmm?) and frantic complaints;
the scavengers taking advantage of a good brawl when they see one and making the matter more confunded.
(poll forthcoming)
Frankly, there are some good cat macros I found while perusing the comments on the last lj news post (I would link it, but some people found it appropriate to repost the image the original user was banned for, and obviously it would be not appropriate for EoFF postage!), so I can't say the third group is too shameful.
In fact, with the behavior of second group, the third group can hardly be blamed!
I reckon lj/sixapart is within their rights, but maybe they should state them explicitly (kinda how the image showed various parts of the anatomy explicity!).
Anyways, it's kinda scary to think that a bunch of harry potter fanatics think they could bring down a whole corporation.
(Any cat macros posted in this thread will be deleted, and that's as explicit as I can state this)
