The big flap

I don't think LiveJournal has much to worry about in terms of real liability, and I think they're being excessively cautious in deleting reported accounts. But that's my opinion, and I'm not a First Amendment lawyer, or even any kind of lawyer at all. I'm just someone with a college degree in English Lit, so I'm happy to admit that my opinion probably isn't worth much. I just wanted to state it for the record, because it's nice to say what you think.

I don't post fic, so I doubt I'd ever become a target, but I have still made the change I see a lot of my flist making: I've replaced all my interests with "fiction is fictional, freedom of expression, freedom of speech." It's probably a meaningless gesture, but it made me feel all righteous and warm, so there it is.
