Strikethrough Two: Electric Boogaloo
Fanartists [info]ponderosa121 and [info]elaboration have been permanently suspended from LiveJournal. As far as I can tell, there's no word from [info]elaboration yet, but [info]ponderosa121 received this email from the LJ Abuse team. Update: [info]elaboration received an identically-worded notice.

The innocence_jihad post, with links and suggestions to protest in the comments over at lj_biz and lj_news. And fandom takes up the invitation to troll/spam/comment. With glee.

Fandom_tossed on greatestjournal keeps track of the most recent batch of TOSsing.

Metafandom collects fandom's reactions. Fandom is justifiably upset.

The wank's all coming from LJ/6A this time around, folks. Update: This statement is no longer true, if it ever was true in the first place. It doesn't change the fact that the 6A team has a lot of 'splainin to do, though.

(I'm sorry that this report's lacking in teh_funny, but LJ's most recent dickishness deserves documentation. Hey, that alliterates.)

ETA: elke_tanzer has even more references and links, for those who are curious. And synecdochic explains the current legal situation and its possible impact on the latest batch of strikethroughs.

ETA II: Ladies and gentlefen, we have Godwin's in action. (Thanks, [info]barankhy and [info]passerby.) And the LJ Abuse team "clarifies" matters.

ETA III: Ponderosa responds to her suspension. Elaboration does the same.

It was the burning of the livejournal t-shirt that finally sent me into the cringing ball I am currently in.

It's bad, isn't it, that I watched the entire thing, and the most persistent thought I had was, "How can she talk with that piece of hair hanging in front of her glasses that way? That annoys me so much when it happens to me."

I didn't actually listen to it (I didn't feel like hearing someone rant when I could listen to Oingo Boingo instead!), but...

You're burning a shirt you've already paid for. And you're still using your LJ. WHAT ABOUT THIS HURTS THEM? Are they really going to care that one person burned one shirt that they already got their cash for? If she could organize a mass burning... well, no. I still don't think that'd do much except make people complain about the smoke.

She sounds like she's giving a speech for a high school debate team. Except, you know, with less logic and thought behind it. My favorite bit was 'I'm taking my fanfiction, my 3000 memories, and my permanent account.' Um... yeah, honey, you do that. I'm sure LJ is going to deeply feel that extra server space you're vacating by taking the account you already paid for.

And then she just kept going. Ah, intarwebz. Still bringing the lulz.

I love it. Especially the "there are starving children in Norway, and you can help them" tone of voice, and the piss-poor shirt-burning.

"This is anti-climactic"

Au contraire, mademoiselle, it's a veritable orgasm of LOL.
