Goodness

I've been reading posts and thinking about whether I should comment on the whole 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 pottersginny wasn't simply a troll anyway. I didn't feel it was too necessary for me to pile on. msscribe, I'm sorry you were called such an awful slur. infinitus, praetorianguard, 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 vanityfair's suggested solution here. What sayeth the lawyer, praetorianguard, or anyone else? (I'd ask heidi8, but she seems to be busy off having a baby.) Is this over the legal line?

Oh, and one more thing: infinitus, your bodacious ta-tas icon really rocks!

Hi Peg. Just stopping by to thank you for the birthday wishes and the support for fighting the good, though eternally-exasperating fight, and to comment on Aja's Darlene Hereford Fund, or whatever it is.

Totally illegal. On so many levels. Mostly because she's invading Darlene's right to privacy and evading the tax code. *runs off to tell Aja*

Nice thought, but, yeah, totally illegal.

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 queerasjohn, I know he's been promoting it, too.
