I don't understand why, frankly. Here: Recently, a young friend of mine was harassed by an LJer who encouraged her to kill herself. This guy stated quite clearly in his own journal that he was looking randomly for kids on LJ so that he could encourage them to commit suicide. When she complained to LJ Abuse, she was told that they weren't going to do anything about a "war of words". Okayyyyyyyyy...
Similarly, I had a guy writing journal entries saying he would kill himself if I didn't talk to him. Totally creepy threats about guns and brains spilling on walls, and LJ didn't even reply to my complaint. It's nice to know they keep on top of important things like this.
When she complained to LJ Abuse, she was told that they weren't going to do anything about a "war of words". Okayyyyyyyyy...
So they'll only do something if he goes to her house and slits her wrists? Sheesh, this is a text/words based forum.. what other kind of war is there *really* on lj?

That is so, so, so not okay. I'm pissed. I'm going to go grumble for away and then think of something constructive to do about it.
