What is happening to users of Live Journal is reprehensible. The fact that it's a bunch of religious griefers who have kicked this off is even worse. While I understand the need to work within LiveJournal's Terms of service (as well as the guidelines of this community), it would appear that Six Apart has really put their foot into it.

What can we do here? Maintain the brain. Don't surrender to the craziness. Learn from what is happening. Do what you can to keep it from propogating to other blogging communities.

This is an incredible demonstration of fanaticism in action. Take a good look folks: this is our future if we don't stand up to them. Sure, we'll get labeled and libeled, but far worse will happen if such people end up ruling the government. But instead of journals disappearing, it will be people.

That was why this community was created: to shine the light on things like this. Should this community wake up tomorrow with a strikeout through it, I will still feel that it's done something positive, something proactive, shone some light into darkness, opened eyes and minds.

Don't let the yeehaadists get you down. And stay cool.
