I want to buy a server and start a war...

[mijan]

What the hell is happening?  First FanLib, then these maverick renegades on a holy mission to purge the internet of "perverts" like us?  Communities disappearing?  What happened to freedom of speech?

I've been reading all the posts, the articles, and the links.  I have much to say, but nothing to say right now.  My brain hurts.  My stomach feels slightly queasy.  I feel like crying a bit, but I'm too tired.  I want to strike back and DO something.  I want to make some Important Phone Calls.  I want to storm into an office of some high-and-mighty with a copy of the Constitution.  I want to do something... but right now, I just want to beat my forehead softly against my desk and ask, repeatedly, "WHY?"

Oh, how I love my fandom.  And there's going to be SO much to talk about at Sectus and Prophecy (and not just the damn 7th book). 

See you there.  Bring the ammo.

You are referring to the Pornish pixi fiasco? I just read about it from amanuensus. Made me want to download -- chapter by chapter -- every fic I've ever loved.
Miss you Kansas gal!

It's not just Pornish Pixies, dear. There are a whole lot of communities and individual journals that are being stomped. It's horrible. Makes me want to buy a server and start a war.

(Miss you too. *hugs*)

Extra scary. I actually AM downloading the story I'm reading now, and just plan to get used to doing that from now on. Stinks >:(

Part of me says the same thing. In fact, I posted a heart-felt rant about the whole thing on ljdemocrats.

Another part of me says this whole site belongs to someone else, not me. It's their property. Any freedom I think I have here is an illusion, because this place is not the real world - it is Lj - a meme. It's unfair, yes. But there isn't much more we can do.

Bummer.

Damn I wish I was going to Sectus and Prophecy...

Here's the story thus far

The Constitution? But that's just a goddamn piece of paper (http://digg.com/world_news/Bush_The_Constitution_is_just_a_Goddamn_Piece_of_Paper)! We have no rights, remember that. Remember we've forfeited them all to King Bush II for peace and safety and security?

I'm doing a round table at Proph on the monetization of fandom, including ads on lj. Be there!

Well, if nothing else, I have copies of all my stuff saved, so you can always read mine. And if all the porn disappears, the slashers of the world will just write more. :D

I'm already a member. *wink* But I'll link it for more people. Spread the word! Save the fandom!

Hmmm... let's make like the French. What did they do to their monarchy? *snerk*

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Is it new? As long as it doesn't overlap with the round table I'm presenting, or the panel I'm on, I'll be there. :)

ZOMG SUCH SEDITIOUS COMMENTARY

Why do you hate America?

[oui-je-danse.livejournal.com]

Remember, by fighting for your freedom you're both letting the terrorists win and hating America, which is the same thing as hating freedom. So every time somebody wants their rights to freedom, they're actually destroying it.

And... um... they hate Jesus?

I am always surprised when some glitch happens with a computer or account and an author has to ask fans for backups of their work. It's sort of a tangent, but hilarious. Back up everything!

[quidditchmaster.livejournal.com]

Precisely.

Acting on your freedoms incites the terrorists, who hate America because they don't have our freedoms. So, we have to surrender the freedoms the terrorists hate. This way, they won't hate America anymore. Failing to cooperate indicates your unwillingness to fight terrorism, and makes you an enemy to this company. I mean state. I'll have your room in Guantanamo ready by Friday.

In Jesus' name, I pray.

Exactly! Precisely!

Everyone commenting on this post loves America and all things American. Even the non-Americans... ESPECIALLY the people not from America.

God Bless America!
