First off,
bike4fish rocks like a rocking thing. I am now awash in cookies, yay! And a belated "you rock" to
gordonzola for the fabulous Jolly Green Giant picture.
On a weirder note:
groovitude? Suspended? Why?
P.S. I don't like this thing LJ is doing with the URLs. It's harder for me to community-hop. Are they just trying to be annoying?
P.P.S. I forgot to link yesterday to a post a lot of you will like.
ridemycamel posted How to Write About Africa by Binyavanga Wainaina. This led, of course, to the collectively-written How to Write About Arabia. It won the internets yesterday.
I watched Lord of War the other night, which cleverly managed to take the lessons in both of these articles to heart. And then redeemed itself with a monologue at the end that suggested that the whole thing was intentional. Unfortunately, the movie kept going after that. I can't decide whether I liked it or not.

Date: 2006-01-20 04:09 pm (UTC)How dare you tell an emo Nazi that he is an emo Nazi. Especially when he responds with comments with Hitler-edifying icons and comments like "You listen to shitty Jew music! You're probably a Jew, too! I'm not a Nazi! Heil Hitler! Just because I think he was great and I hate Jews doesn't make me a Nazi!" Maybe he's right.
And I really enjoyed the subthread of people mad not at him but at you because you used the f-word back at him. I figured you chose it deliberately and knowingly with intent to get him riled up, because if there's one thing a NeoNazi skinhead hates being called most, it's "fag."

Date: 2006-01-20 04:22 pm (UTC)I'm bothered by the recklessness of these people. I got my journal stolen and my interest list is now gone. Nothing else is missing but that's more than enough. It will cause me loss of time that I could be doing something more enjoyable.
Why would anyone expose security flaws to blackmail LiveJournal unless there is something seriously wrong in their head? I'm guessing they're professional programmers who're just after prestige of putting one over LJ by harassing innocent LJers, which makes their "cause" extremely questionable and unworthy.

Date: 2006-01-20 04:27 pm (UTC)I can't help noticing that their attitude to anyone upset about having their journal hacked is the sarcastic "internets, serious business" response, but they evidentally find the internet serious enough business to spend all this energy fucking around with innocent people just to cause problems for LJ Abuse.
