Public Service Announcement about LJ

[giza]

If someone is making harassing anonymous comments in your LJ, this is how you can disable anonymous comments.

If a particular LJ user is causing you problems in your LJ, this is how you can ban them.

-- Giza... who is getting VERY tired of seeing people complain about anonymous posters causing them problems, or members of the Something Awful crowd causing them problems. Ban them and get on with your lives already. They're not worth the effort to argue with. Jesus.

In short, the whole concept behind their website is, "these people are different, let's all MOCK THEM". They have a set of forums which are populated by "The SA Goons", as they prefer to call themselves. Their sole purpose in life seems to be hounding people who are "featured" on SA. It's quite sad, really.

I predict that SA will die a quick death when someday someone goes and beats up, or even kills someone who was featured on SA. When their defense in court consists of, "Something Awful said the victim was a loser, so I decided to kill them", I hardly think it would help SA's financial situation.

OK, I know this site. It's really really weird.
I posted a link to it once a few months ago.
As long as they don't use the legal names of the
people they satirize I don't have any major problems
with it. That said, I certainly would not want to
get into a dialog with them. :/
