Further to that hacking ...

[blamebrampton]

I joined marmalade_fish  to check out updates on the hacking of sarahtales , and two important points were raised.

The first is that if you have sarahtales  friended, the hackers currently have access to all of your private posts. So it may be a good idea to defriend for a little while.  ETA, she's back, but you should still consider the fishies, it looks like a fun comm, too!

The second is that there is a suspicion the hacker is not an opportunistic Russian con artist, but someone from fandom acting malevolently. Given some of fandom's history, that does not seem as unlikely as we might hope. Why some people feel it's necessary to pour crap on those who add hard work to their talent in order to become successful is a mystery to me. Wankers, the lot of them.

I can't even understand why someone would bother doing that. I mean theoretically I understand it, but, god, why bother?

There are some sad, sad individuals out there ... At least lj keeps them off the streets.

[jamie2109.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but it moves them into our streets where they cause havoc. Idiots.

But we are generally good at spotting the idiots. It's when they add malice to idiocy that the real fun erupts.

[jamie2109.livejournal.com]

True. Well I hope it's just some random person and not someone from fandom. I don't like the thought of malicious goings on in a place I like to relax in.

That would be better, yes.
