Goodness

I've been reading posts and thinking about whether I should comment on the whole [livejournal.com profile] pottersginny kerfluffle. Some of my best friends on LJ seem to be doing a fine job holding their own in the uproar and I wasn't at all sure that [livejournal.com profile] pottersginny wasn't simply a troll anyway. I didn't feel it was too necessary for me to pile on. [livejournal.com profile] msscribe, I'm sorry you were called such an awful slur. [livejournal.com profile] infinitus, [livejournal.com profile] praetorianguard, [livejournal.com profile] queerasjohn you done good fighting the good fight.

It really grieves me to see someone claiming such atrocious views sprang from their Christianity.

I'm intrigued by [livejournal.com profile] vanityfair's suggested solution here. What sayeth the lawyer, [livejournal.com profile] praetorianguard, or anyone else? (I'd ask [livejournal.com profile] heidi8, but she seems to be busy off having a baby.) Is this over the legal line?

Oh, and one more thing: [livejournal.com profile] infinitus, your bodacious ta-tas icon really rocks!

Clarifying (as I'm able to be online for a bit now...) - everything above the ~~~~ is fine. Encouraging people to donate directly to charities in someone else's name = a fine thing to do. Have done it regarding Nimbus.

Rest of it? : agrees with Amy that there are Issues.

Must be clear when dropping by quickly!

There's a line. Of course, there's always a line. You can donate to a charity in someone else's name. You may not create a charity drive in someone else's name. She could sue for right of privacy issues and she'd have a case, at least, for libel.

*hopes that makes sense*

Better let Aja know. And [livejournal.com profile] queerasjohn, I know he's been promoting it, too.
