As I said, I did receive an answer to my email.

Needless to say, I did respond to it.

First, the Warriors for Innocence response, followed by mine.

... You don't know me, and I just found you today. But looking at your previous entries and this little debacle, I have to say it. I love you. <333 In a purely none-romantic way. That being said, I enjoy how you're conducting yourself here. It's much more professional and thought-out than those jokers are.

HEAR HEAR!

AMEN!

peacebone May 31 2007, 06:34:17 UTC

Agreed!

I hope you don't mind me sticking my head in. Her reply makes my skin crawl. Your reply makes me proud. I hate that you even have to deal with her/them, but you have worded well what many of us wish we could. Proud may not be the right word, but it will work. I'm curious as to her response this time. Ugh.

Is this kind of fiction first amendment protected?

I'm just catching up; sorry if I'm redundant.

The first amendment only restricts what the government can do. If SixApart/LJ starts suspending journals in an attempt to cover their ass against something that's not actually illegal, well, that's really stupid on their part, but it's not illegal on their part since they are neither the government nor funded by the government.

Very good point. ::head/desk:: on my own stupidity for forgetting this.

OOOOOooooooooooo. Chanur.

Shiny.

Loved that saga.

Just to add-- even if such topics would be legal to speak about or even write about, the laws on internet application are fuzzy. It is highly unlikely that anyone would be arrested... in fact, judging from previous cases, unless someone was in possession of actual child porn or actually harming a child, it would be near impossible. Writing fiction isn't really a punishable offense.

It's more a problem of lj freaking out, I think, and not a matter of law enforcement.

Thank you for your cool, level-headed, and ultimately smart approach to this problem.

Let freedom ring? *sighs*

Good for you.

Did it never occur to you to do even a little bit of homework? All you had to do was look at the user info for the targeted LJs. All you had to do was look at the LJs themselves. You would've seen for yourself that these people are not guilty of breaking any laws or harming anyone

Amen.
