vague sense of resentment

Dude, that whole thread--the great fucking book club thread--was one of the things that made me fall UTTERLY in love with Hugh. He is all PROFANE and ELOQUENT and CANNOT TYPE and LOVES TO READ and I LOVE HIIIIIM.

i can only look at a bit at a time else the squee may, in fact, cause me to HURT MYSELF. also, i hear all his posts in his voice and, you know. *pants*

I don't get it, what's so eeedjit-like about that LJ post? I know you just said you don't want to get into it, so if you don't wanna explain to the girl who's a little slow on the uptake, I understand.

oh, no, it's fine: it's the fact that 1. it seems to me that the american legal system is perfectly well placed to go after internet paedophiles using current laws, and that lj was already going to cooperate with them in the investigation of any actual or suspected crime but equally that 2. it is plainly NOT illegal in america to write/publish fiction in which legal minors have sex with each other or with adults and 3. that as a private blogging service they ought in fact to simply have said "we have decided not to host material that meets these criteria/contains the following". (as of course, they can declare anything they want off-limits, up to and including cat macros: their servers, their rules. this i appreciate.) making clearly false claims - "the law says that fiction in which people under 18 have sex is illegal", for example - and announcing this without clarifications re: fanfic shortly AFTER the big deletion blowup and one of their high heid yins actually stating that fanfic was ok? not very smart! in my opinion, anyway ( ... )

Doesn't it depend on the state? I haven't a clue, I probably resemble an internet lawyer (or any other kind) even less than you do.

i also don't think any of this is actually much help in reducing the sexual exploitation of children.

I think it's only partly about that. Call me cynical, but I think it's about 6Apart covering their asses and trying to abide by the law as they understand it, as well as doing The Right Thing (TM).

I gather from geeklite's comments in my journal, as well as some other things she linked to recently, that they are dealing with bona fide kiddie-fiddlers, and trying to put together a policy that deals with them as well as possible, while not attacking people (some of them kids themselves) who are writing fic about teenage sex. Personally, I don't know how I'd write that policy, if it were my job. Do you, do you have an inkling of what kind of words you might use, where you would draw the ( ... )

Oh, Hugh! *squishes, adds book, squishes more*

His duty as a canadian. Bless!

And you know I totally wants it. Callum grabbing the book and holding it over his head. Hugh being underhanded. Callum saying he doesn't take judgements on culture from guys that play the freaking harmonica. Hugh saying he hopes Callum doesn't take judgements from Paul fucking Gross, since his stuff is like a sin against music. Callum saying Hugh's just jealous. ....

i fear change too. i want space where ppl do not institutiojnally resent us for being women and not having bought into current shape of capitalist economy. would help create one but a) cannot code and b) drunk right now.
