Yeah, I know I keep talking about this and apparently can't shut up, but I think any type of movement like this seriously needs to establish where they stand on the pedophilia community. Because if you don't, you may end up doing more harm than good to fandom. I'm serious, guys. If you don't want to be associated with NAMBLA-types who want to latch onto your movement and use you, then you best get to work to do something about it pretty fast.

I didn't have enough room to expand on the "work to ferret out criminal ljs" option, but that would involve specifically working WITH the records Perverted Justice has in order to target journals of pedophiles that LJ MISSED before the purge. We will notify lj and report them to Abuse, and I think that will make our stance on the issue perfectly clear. It will let LJ know that we support what they wanted to do, just not the way they went about it. Make sense?

THANK YOU. *weeps* I guess I'm pretty worn out with hashing this out with people all day today. And being called a hypocrite for not want to support creepy child abusers. OMG. Anyway, thanks again. I've been really scared about fandom as a whole being considered a part of that community.

Also, I have voted now. Personally, I think it would be best if, at this point, the actions fans take are mainly positive. I think it would be the best way to represent fandom and gain respect and educate people.

Yay. <3

I've tried to make sure that all the actions represented on the above list are positive in spirit. I'm not too sure about the storage max-out but the rest i feel are all really positive. At least they were before I had to whittle them down to under 254 characters. Gah. adslfkj;.

Thank you for clearing this up. I didn't vote for the reporting criminals to LJ option because I feared it might end up in another witchhunt or something similar. If we could gain the support of Perverted Justice - wonderful. LJ/6A may want to listen to them now - in fact I don't think they have another choice if they don't want end belly-up.

Still, this should probably be clarified in the main post. Thanks.

Argh, tired non-native-speaker alarm:

LJ/6A may want to listen to them now

Listen to them: Listen to Perverted Justice or fandom cooperating with Perverted Justice.

I don't think they have another choice if they don't want end belly-up. They: LJ/6A.

Hope that clarifies things.
