Half my damn friend's page was this stuff yesterday, so I thought I'd at least pass on the apology just in case somebody on my list doesn't read the News journal. ;)

none of mine mentioned it (and i wasnt paying close attention - i wasnt exactly with it yesterday)

I hadn't read this and I agree with you about LJ being okay. However, I still think that WFI is a dangerous vigilante group that bears watching.

Did you notice that the very first response to that apology contains no content other than the word "FIRST" and has about a 50-reply tail attached to it? People can be such children....

the rest of the comments are pretty wanky too.

You get used to it.

No, you get inured to it. :P

I love you and your voice of reason. :)

I also didn't really catch wind of it until someone else on my friendspage asked about it. I saw a Bethy-post but figured it was isolated to one comm and didn't investigate further.

I was pretty angry when I first heard about this, so I'm glad they're trying to rectify their mistake.
