Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!
Supposedly, some Star Wars slash group got invaded by some psychoChristians and subsequently nuked from Yahoo via a conspiracy or two. I think that most of us can agree that this, if it happened as reported, is Bad. Unfortunately, the owner of said group has to go and make a fool of hirself.

Witness, through the magic of an online petition (the most effective means of political change known to man, I'm told), threats to contact "the ACLU, The Gay and Lesbein rights society, the FTC, bigclassaction.com, UNIX, the postmasters of the individual providers," and, god help us all, internet lawyers. As always, some of the most funniest funny is to be found in the comments/signatures.

I'd like to dedicate this wank to the sharp pain that appears behind my left eye every time I see people screaming "FIRST AMENDMENT" without knowing what the hell the First Amendment says.

I can imagine it now...."Welcome to the UNIX Whine Line, for all your lame UNIX bitchery needs. Press 1 to complain about asshats using SCO. Press 2 to contact the next available daemon. Dial 666 if you wanna say 'screw it' and give the BOFH your username now."

SCO's suing everyone for any reason they can think of; why shouldn't someone turn the tables?

Indeed.

Though anyone still using any of SCO's actual products could use a clue too...yes, they still sell OpenServer, and no, I understand it hasn't gotten any better.

I interpreted it as them implying that UNIX is a sentient entity that they would contact. If that's what they meant, they should have contacted Emacs instead.

I now imagine UNIX as some sort of Sandman esque godthing, able to be contacted by some arcane ritual where you sprinkle typed out code in a circle, slash the words "FREEWARE" into your arm, and possibly never ever get laid.

Meh, if Yahoo was going to delete 'dangerous' groups, my Kefkafanatics list would have vanished a long time ago for being a 'violent cult' or something.

Okay, I didn't even read the subject line of the OP before I had to go thinking I was a smartass extraordinaire. So I'll just point to my comment above and die of embarrassment or something rename it GIP.

"On April 9, 2004 a group of gay haters supposedly reported my fan-fiction

That's as far as I got before I died laughing. There's just something about the phrase "gay haters."

HATE CRIMES!

They're calling a lawyer over the loss of original stories? Dude, backups are your friends. *pats disks full of crap stories*

Don't you need to have them like, copywrighted or something to do that? *is teh st00pid*

Copyrighted. And copyright is automatic for a creative work. You don't have to register it for it to be copyrighted -- registering is a good idea because it gives you some pretty solid proof that you're the creator, and in a court case the government will act as a witness on your behalf.

But that's beside the wank ... If you store your only copy of a story on a Yahoogroup, then you deserve what you get.

I'm sorry, didn't exactly this wank occur around two years ago?

I'm remembering Yahoo moving all slash-oriented lists to the 'Adult Content' section, then we were told that all THOSE would be DELETED LIEK OMG and...yeah.

Funny. My slash lists still SEEM to be working after THAT one...

I'm just chiming in here, back on the 3rd page of wank to let you know that she's still ranting about this on frodo_slash. And despite the mod, continues to write 2 page responses to anyone who acknowledges her. I'm thinking of making a separate post for her diatribes.
