One last comment about Strikethroughgate

Open this time: can anyone with legal experience in the US or other common-law system tell me whether in the light of this, the following disclaimer might hold water?

This [journal/post/story] discusses matters concerning activity that may be illegal in certain jurisdictions. This is for artistic purposes only, is not meant to condone or encourage such activity, and the author opposes any and all illegal activity. This [journal/post/story] is not used in furtherance of any illegal activity.

I'm thinking that combined with removing questionable interests, this might be a nice argument to pull up with LJ abuse next time they pull this card. "Didn't you read the disclaimer in my profile?"

And now there are 5 more pages just half an hour later. Can we say snowball?

Phone calls, emails, written letters... this is starting to get bigger than the uproar when they changed the user profile pages. I think the reason why we're not getting an official statement is because they're still trying to figure out how fifteen deleted fannish journals can lead to this kind of catastrophe.

I'm quite in awe by the whole thing. Same as with fandom_counts, they're up at almost 3,400 now and were at less than a thousand when I joined two hours ago.

Fandom really is viral marketing in action.

I've been amusing myself by refreshing that profile page and the news post. And once the prominent crossover fandommers start getting on the action? I mean, come on. Gotta be someone at NYT with a livejournal.

It's like watching an avalanche in action. And the big fandommers are picking up on it right now, so the lists should grow exponentially. It's going to be fun to see tomorrow morning what the Americans got up to during their evenings when they all had time to check their LJs. There's a second wave coming.
