Name/Alias: Adrian K. Fii Journal name:gen_adrianfii Location(optional): Wilton, New Hampshire, USA Comment(optional): Dear LJ, I have a lot to say on this, so bear with me. I know you think you're doing the right thing by doing this and in all honesty, you're not. And it's not for the reasons that most people are probably telling you. Freedom of Speech really doesn't hold on the internet on certain websites. Each website is a dictorship unto itself. ToS, that's what it's for. No, you're not doing the right thing because your reasons are all wrong. One, you're letting a militant Christian organization tell you how to run your own site. There is -nothing-, I repeat -nothing- they can do to you if you don't comply with their demands. I mean, have you actually seen their website, have you actually heard their spouted rhetoric? If you haven't, here's their website: http://www.warriorsforinnocence.org/ (http://www.warriorsforinnocence.org/) These people believe that they're doing God's will but more than that, you're letting someone else run your website. Two, these people aren't actually trying to do any good. Why do I say this? Because, if they were trying to do good, they wouldn't be going about it in this way. They're going after a large organization to make a lot of wave in the press so they get more publicity and thus, more money. If they actually wanted to help stop pedophilia on the internet, they'd do it in a chatroom, one pedo at a time. But that's hard, that's expensive and the pay off isn't as great as going after a multimillion dollar coporation for the news, now is it? Three, they're also not going after just pedophiles because if they were, they would have people dedicated to going through each and every journal, each and every community to try to find pedophiles. Again, this is hard and expensive so they just see something in an interest and think "Oh! They've got rape as an interest?! They're a pedophile!" Personally, I don't like that logic train at all. Fourth, they're going after all sexual deviants. It isn't just the "pedophiles". They're basically going after rape survivors, abuse survivors, homosexuals, bisexual, transvestites and fetishists. And why, because it doens't fall into their belief of living in the way God wants them to. And by that fact alone, you're helping to enable more abusers and rapists then stop them because now these people don't have an anonymous way to talk about it and finally overcome. All that being said, I have one last question for you LJ. Who are you going to let effect your site's policies more? The 13 some odd million people that pay your bills and wages on a monthly basis or a small group of not even 500 people that run off of Blogger... and don't even own a single LJ?

Dear LJ,
I have a lot to say on this, so bear with me. I know you think you're doing the right thing by doing this and in all honesty, you're not. And it's not for the reasons that most people are probably telling you. Freedom of Speech really doesn't hold on the internet on certain websites. Each website is a dictorship unto itself. ToS, that's what it's for.
No, you're not doing the right thing because your reasons are all wrong.
One, you're letting a militant Christian organization tell you how to run your own site. There is -nothing-, I repeat -nothing- they can do to you if you don't comply with their demands.
I mean, have you actually seen their website, have you actually heard their spouted rhetoric?
If you haven't, here's their website: http://www.warriorsforinnocence.org/ (http://www.warriorsforinnocence.org/)
These people believe that they're doing God's will but more than that, you're letting someone else run your website.
Two, these people aren't actually trying to do any good. Why do I say this? Because, if they were trying to do good, they wouldn't be going about it in this way. They're going after a large organization to make a lot of wave in the press so they get more publicity and thus, more money. If they actually wanted to help stop pedophilia on the internet, they'd do it in a chatroom, one pedo at a time.
But that's hard, that's expensive and the pay off isn't as great as going after a multimillion dollar coporation for the news, now is it?
Three, they're also not going after just pedophiles because if they were, they would have people dedicated to going through each and every journal, each and every community to try to find pedophiles.

And by that fact alone, you're helping to enable more abusers and rapists then stop them because now these people don't have an anonymous way to talk about it and finally overcome.
All that being said, I have one last question for you LJ. Who are you going to let effect your site's policies more?
The 13 some odd million people that pay your bills and wages on a monthly basis or a small group of not even 500 people that run off of Blogger... and don't even own a single LJ?
