One of the best lines I've ever come across

anywhere - in this comic:

To anyone who always presumes to speak for deity:

"You're so lucky that god always feels the same way you do."

On shaky ground again

Again, be careful where you tread and make sure your journals are backed up because LJ is purging again.

I realise some people have said it's not LJ's fault, that it's just the law in the US but I have 2 answers to that:

They could have actually done more than instantly suspending the whole journal. A warning. A cease and desist. Locking down that post.

Ponderosa (one of the deleted), has said that there is actually no reason to believe that the picture contained the underaged: http://www.greatestjournal.com/community/fandomtossed/45060.html?thread=526852#t526852

To quote her directly: "The drawing that landed me the suspension was of Fred and George wanking eachother. While one of the twins WAS wearing a school tie, they do not look any younger than the adult characters I regularly draw. No where in the post or title description (to my recollection, as the entry was deleted) are the characters ages mentioned, and I certainly never suggested that they are underage."

So how shaky is this ground? Any of you have fic or pictures up where you haven't explicitly mentioned the ages of those depicted?. I know I do.

Anything a random group of fanatics may claim represents the underaged? Remember, LJ doesn't do it's own investogating, any random group of crazed fanatics will do.


ETA: Am I the only one leery about the timing?

They tried to have their purge... but then loads of people were up in arms about it and it was JUST BEFORE THEY SOLD THE LIFETIME JOURNALS. So they apologised, mea culpla, made nice... then launched their lifetime journals, sold them

And went back to purging again.
