I emailed, paraphrasing your suggected text into my own words:
Dear LJ:
The things I'm reading on my friendslist about deletion of LJ accounts on the basis of a single complaint based on an interest search or two can't be true, can they? And without any investigation into the nature of teh interest - say, listing rape as an interest because one is a former victim and available to lend support to other victims?
Have you researched this "Warriors For Innocence"? Even as much as liz-marcs has? Have you caved in to merely perceived authority without verifying that it is authority?
It disappoints me that there's been no post on news about this. There'd better be one soon.
I'm not myself a rape victim. I'm not aware that anyone I know self-identifies as a rape victim (whether they've experienced rape or not, which I also don't know). My personal LJ and friendslist haven't been touched by these purges (only by discussions of them). But I don't want when you come for me to be the last one left.
