Pretend romances between pretend people

people pretending to have terminal diseases

Real people lying about themselves to make their journal more interesting, or themselves more like the ‘good guy’

Creation of identities for the sole purpose of harassing others. (especially those with anon posting turned off)

Hacked Journals, and secrets told.

Innocent people accused of doing the above, and when the truth came out, no apologies or retractions were spread like the original lies.

Ridiculous cries for attention, in the form of name calling, cursing, and deliberate baiting of poor folks who don’t know any better than to not feed the trolls.

bragging about infidelity, as if it were a badge of pride, not shame

Hate Speech against people’s religion, race, sexual orientation, desire or not to breed, and occupation

Nude photos of minors (Child pornography?) usually posted by what I assume are the children in question. (This one’s a tricky one… how young is too young? I’m talking about a 16 year old here, at least according to her lj bio.)

They all have a basic right to do and say what they like in the confines of their journal, just as much as I have the right to post what I do in mine… I have a good knack for tripping over all kinds of information here, and when I see it, I make a note not to go there again if I don’t like it. Anything else would boil down into censorship, I imagine.
