Group targeting "inappropriate" LJs

http://catrinella.livejournal.com/151812.html

A group is scanning interests on LJ and filing complaints with LJabuse about anyone with interests they disaprove of.

It's the usual "protect the children" BS, but they have caused lots of role=playing and fiction jopurnals and communities to be suspended or take-down in self defense.

LJ is hiding behind their lawyers by saying that they have to take them down to avoid legal liability and can't put them back up evem to allow the owners to remove the "illegal" intersts.

Read the link and the posts linked from it. And try not to lose your temper.

Graphics help

Any of you folks feel up to turning this:



Into an icon suitable for use as an icon tag on a webpage? (.ico file containing a 16x16 and 32x32 image) Chopping off some of the shaft is fine. Background should be transparent.

Urge to kill stupid person...

Remember my complaining about being woken up after too little sleep?

It happened Friday, it happened Saturday, it happened Sunday (but that was a friend's kid telling me his dad was in the hospital), I don't recall if it happened yesterday. And it happened again today. All at around 10-10:30.

Today I managed to catch the person. They'd (as before) rung the doorbell three times. Ring [pause] ring [pause] ring

By the time I got out of bed and pulled on some pants, there was (as before) nobody there. But I spotted somebody getting into a van (it looked a bit like it might by door-to-door preachers)

I said "You ring my doorbell?" several times and the woman finally got out and said something like "Number 6? I looking for [unnitelligible name]" and something about "spanish". I said I'd lived there for years.

Wasn't until I got back upstairs that I realized I should have given them a lecture along the lines of "You ring the doorbell and you had best *wait* long enough for someone to get out of bed and pull on clothes before you walk off. You don't just ring several times and leave."

What is the World coming to?
