Migrants to IJ, 2007

Hello. I am Vincent. I was one of the hundreds of webloggers on Live Journal of which Six Apart, capitulating to the whim of an anti-erotica vigilanté gang, "permanently suspended". (It sent me two E-Mail messages, five minutes apart, telling me this. It never E-Mailed me that I was reinstated.)

My terminated LJ was my “hidden” journal. I was astute in keeping it separate from my acknowledged LJ.

I have no intention to ever make another entry on LJ. Six Apart probably has all its internet surveillance technology, maybe even including a keystroke logger, awaiting my next logon. (I shall leave it up as a “ruined monument”, similar to a bombed-out monastery; since vigilanté gangs frequently claim a ‘religious’ foundation.) The “bean counters” of Six Apart have only one definition of "free speech": That which will not scare away the investors and advertisers who want to profit off the exertions of its members.

I went to Greatest Journal; but then it directed one of my friends there to remove some verbiage from his User Info page. Now, I am here on Insane Journal. I am clicking on links of other IJ'ers who have the same Interests as I.
One of my Interests is "role playing". But this is actually in the meta depth. I do not play RPG on-line or in the real world. But on the World-Wide Web, I am hiding my real name & location behind this personae. If, at some future point, I actually meet any of you in the real world, then you might learn the actual person behind this mask. But I would have to trust that you wouldn't "out" me here.
I apologize if this reply seems to be “boilerplate”. But the people I am friending deserve more than a one-liner reading, "Hi. Add me, please?". I invite you to read my User Info page(s) (both on here, and on LJ as smooot4) to see if I am o.k. with you.
One warning upfront: Here on IJ, I have friended littlegirllover, who seemed to become the crucible of the entire strikethrough attack. That may be ‘pushing the envelope’ a little too far for you. (It may be ‘pushing the envelope’ a little too far for littlegirllover.) It does not mean I am uninterested in reading your scribblings.
Thank you.
