how to make me cranky in one easy step
Jun. 5th, 2005 12:50 ami've had a busy week. this is NOT how i had preferred to end it....
so, having been tipped to
rapists_unite, i sent off a complaint to lj-abuse for encouraging illegal behaviour and for hate speech.
their reply... a) it's not encouraging illegal behaviour because it's not exactly giving tips/how-tos.
and, b) well, i didn't really get a response regarding my concerns of hate speech. i did get this...
While the material is distasteful, we cannot take any action. The content falls within the realm of material protected by free speech. LiveJournal attempts to preserve as much free speech as possible for its users, as long as that speech does not cross the line into invading another's privacy, violating local or federal law, or directly inciting violence or hatred against any specific, identifiable group regardless of whether that group is explicitly named in our Terms of Service. The content of the community in question does not meet that criteria at this time.
now. i'm still not sure how encouraging rape is anything but hate speech.
so, i asked the wonderful folks at lj-abuse if they considered rape to be an act of love.
i am waiting for their reply.
i am fucking sick and tired of juvenile minded folks thinking this shit is funny. IT'S NOT FUNNY. ok? get it? SEXUAL ABUSE. IS. NOT. FUNNY.
let me spell it out for you: N-O-T F-U-N-N-Y.
this is NOT the time period to be pissing me the fuck off.
i don't fucking CARE if this is one sick troll's work of shit.
arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

p.s. telling me i should have known better than to turn to abuse, puts you at risk for MY ALMIGHTY WRATH.

Re: What ever happened with your complaint?
Date: 2005-07-31 05:23 am (UTC)i sent it from my more privat journal..
While we completely agree that rape itself is a hateful act, the issue
here lies in whether the content is instructional or clearly and
specifically incites violence against an identifiable group. In this case,
the material does not. Any material not meeting these criteria falls
under the protection of the First Amendment and LiveJournal is absolutely
committed to protecting freedom of speech for its users, regardless of
our personal feelings in the matter.
As we have explained our reasoning on this issue in this and prior
requests, we will not be able to answer any further inquiries in the
absence of posts which do contain clearly instructional references. We regret
that we cannot be of further assistance.
