A special note to my visitors from Something Awful

I'm afraid the [profile] furryparents journal is being locked down, but there are plenty of cute furry baby pictures over at [personal profile] projectmothra for your making-fun-of-infants pleasure.

I'll be over here teaching my son that making fun of people because their clothing or hobbies aren't the same as yours is really lame.

Have a great day!

Oh, for chrissake. What happened? Don't worry, I won't spawn any further drama over this -- my flamethrower's in the shop. Hmm, maybe the goons mistook this for the "learn the alphabet" thread -- some of the FYAD crew are on Rhys's approximate reading level. :)

*inspects* Is this the one? Hmmm. Poor craftsmanship. Little or no catch phrase value. Properly punctuated. Might not even be a goon infection, just a seasonal cuteness allergy. You did the right thing -- if it doesn't go away after 2-3 days, just keep spraying it with amused disdain and don't pick at it. :)

From what I hear out of people closer to the SA "community" than I care to get, I liken the recent waves of SA activity to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan: the last gasp of a dying empire.

I guess my question is, is whatever replaces it going to be any more enlightened? In this way, also, net history shall probably recapitulate global history. :)

I locked up what I could in the community and told the other members to go back and lock their own entries. Right now a couple laggards are entertaining me over in my journal. It was mostly just one guy's comment that ticked me off. I suppose I would take them more seriously if any of them could spell, punctuate, or even knew any grammar.

Whatever replaces it will be more enlightened; here's why:

Considering the gigantic FYAD mess1 they made of [livejournal.com profile] mbuonauro's LiveJournal after his suicide2 earlier this year, I really don't think they can get any lower.

1 This has since been cleaned up, I'm guessing by his friends/relatives.
2 Because, y'know, suicide is TEH COMEDY GOLDMINE.

Yanno, I liked when SA counterprotested the Phelps crew. Funny AND productive. The feral thing? Even the goons, for the most part, thought the guy was an idiot.

But going after parents and kids?

Out of control.

It, unfortunately, is a case of "you don't REALLY understand until you have children".

I remember when SA was really funny. It was before they started 'crusading.'

They crossed the line between mockery and hate speech well over a year ago in my opinion ...

I would agree.

God, I'm sorry if the SA goons are attacking you, beetiger.

They're jealous of your imagination, creativity, and knowledge of what tastes absolutely wonderful!

Hugs. I'm sorry for you.

This is the twisted way they reproduce: fucking up some kid as much as they are. Don't let them.
