Not for nothing, but if you harass someone anonymously and someone responds by creating an account to respond to -your- harassing comments in his friend's journal, and that friend doesn't mind, then you are the problem. Having the LJ abuse team remove the account you don't like doesn't change the fact that you're a whiny bitch with nothing better to do, and it doesn't hide the cheating, the lying, or the idiocy.

That said, I believe that this:

Dear LiveJournal user johnbot,

It has come to our attention that you are the owner or user of a LiveJournal account used solely for the purposes of harassing other LiveJournal users (vaganus). This is considered a violation of the LiveJournal Terms of Service. As such, all of the offending journals have been terminated with no chance of reinstatement. No action will be taken against your personal accounts at this time.

You are, however, informed that this is your first and only warning in this matter. While we do allow users to express themselves freely, that freedom of expression does not extend to the creation of journals whose sole purpose is to harass or mock other users. Should any further activity of this nature be reported to us, we will have no choice but to pursue further action against your personal accounts up to and including their termination, if necessary.

Regards,
LiveJournal Abuse Team

was uncalled-for. If she's deleted her journal, is she even still a user? The users in this case had no problem with what was said, and if the replies were harsh (and they were,) well, then that's just what she gets for harrassing a user in his personal journal. I really wish the LJ Abuse team, wonderful as they are in most cases, would have investigated this a bit further and applied some common sense.

... how much -are- we supposed to be "protected" outside our space? Say whatever you want in your journal, sure, but step into mine and you've gotta expect and take whatever I dish out or allow to be dished out. I'm perfectly capable of telling my friends or others what I will or won't allow in my journal. That's why I banned anonymous posters. If one of my friends does something on my behalf in my journal to someone I dislike and have told to stay out of my journal, well, then that's just too bad for the person who was told to stay out. I may tell my friend to lay off if I feel they're out of line, or I may not. In neither of those cases do I expect the LJ Abuse Team to act against my friend: he had my sanction to say whatever I allowed him to in my journal. Period.
