I only wank the ones I love.
So you know (and want to harass me), I go by Phoenix Rising. I'm one of the characters in this entire saga...so, yeah, I'm not unbiased. I initially had reservations about wanking this (since yeah, I do like the board and a lot of these people), but recent events (i.e., it coming back from the dead) changed my mind.

It all started two and a half weeks ago on a community I frequent.

So, we were all discussing Livejournals (most all of the regulars, myself included, have them), and the discussion--as many others do--wanders totally off topic.

Then someone busts in with:
Why would anyone put their innermost thoughts on paper? Eventually someone will read it, and then there will be hell to pay. I swear, some people are actually so unstable that they crave the attention they get from such confrontations. Take that a step further and you have LiveJournal. Imagine your diary. Then imagine your diary open for the whole world to see. How stupid. I heard someone say that LiveJournal represents the decay of Western society. I think I have to agree.
The first few responses are relatively level-headed, mainly consisting of, "Well...you can lock it, if you didn't know" and "You're being a little over-the-top."

Our protagonist (let's call him "Magus Zeal") comes back with, "Well, wouldn't you agree that it's a waste of time and totally pointless?" Flamage begins to ensue. A ban is implied.

However, Livejournals are totally pointless and you'd better spend your time talking face-to-face.

Hilarity ensues.
