this is all windrose's fault...

ETA: Some of the nasty words that SixApart is targeting as 'dangerous to children':

Rape. Abuse. Also: Incest. Pedophiles. Censorship.

Words are dangerous, yes. Banning them even more so. Refusing to allow people a place to discuss matters of danger (which they did, in reportedly shutting down comms and journals of survivors) is the most dangerous thing of all.

All right, we got a 'mea culpa, we screwed the pooch on this one' apology from his kneejerk highness the CEO. Yeah boys and girls, you did. Fix it, and we can be friends again. But I trust you about as far as I can throw your shiny new headquarters....

So, with all due respect to Sting and The Police

forgive me, Lord, for I have filked...

(to the tune of "Don't Stand So Close To Me")

That LJ, the subject
Of pervy fantasy
These posters are so nervy
Know what they want to say
Inside them there's longing
This post’s an open page
Site marking – it’s all legal
despite what the Warriors say.

Don't post, don't post so
Don't post so honestly
Don't post, don't post so
Don't post so honestly

Six Apart is so nervous
They cave so easily
Sometimes it’s not the smartest thing
To be such wussy geeks
press pressure, it’s building
So bad it makes them look
Rude comments, sharks waiting
other journals are making hay

Don't post, don't post so
Don't post so honestly
Don't post, don't post so
Don't post so honestly

Strong talk in the journals
Fighting back as best they can
Bad words in the comments
The accusations fly
They try to deny it
Say its for ‘our own good’
banning all speech of
That book by Nabokov

Don't post, don't post so
Don't post so honestly
Don't post, don't post so
Don't post so honestly

Don't post, don't post so
Don't post so honestly

Play it loud for me if mine gets deleted. Everybody go and notice two posts on male genitalia. And I didn't even know about this mess! And now I'm civilly being disobedient!

That was done in about five minutes. Given time and single malt, I might be more creative.
