The Energizer Bunny of Internet Law
A few weeks ago, someone tried to post personal information on a Fandom Wank entry. The post was reported to the mods, who then deleted it, and banned the offender.

Apparently, Vanceone, internet lawyer extraordinaire, has been brooding on it ever since. On coming upon a thread where R/Hr and H/G shippers are complaining about Harmonian arguments that JKR really is shipping H/Hr, he launches into a rant about how Harmonians are now being stalked and no one cares.

Of course, since name calling is in vogue here, I guess no one will be offended if I say you have an unbelievable double standard, since I have yet to see any condemnation of THOSE theories. Oh, or any outrage at the very recent (within the past week) attempt by a well known OBHWF shipper to start a harassment campaign against a Harmonian webmaster by posting his personal contact info and encouraging harassing phone calls and letters. I can just imagine what would have happened had I posted, say, Angua's home address and phone number and encouraged people to harass her....

I'll be charitable and hope that you didn't know about that, and don't condone it. It's pretty sad that now prominent Harmonians are having to take steps to protect themselves in RL.


That's only the beginning. Accusations of a cover-up follow.

ETA: Waltraute points out that he's also wanking here, insisting the FW mods did nothing, even though they banned the offender.

ETA2: Vanceone shows up here to tell us more of his side of the story.</a>

ETA3: Vance apologizes for overreacting. Kudos to him. That takes real guts.
