PSA: davidkevin has crossed the line

[unixronin]

As reported by technoshaman and others, a nasty little troll named davidkevin has managed to get beckyzoole's journal suspended, supposedly for copyright violation.

The nature of her "copyright violation"?  She quoted trolling comments that he sought out HER community to post in, then later deleted, in her replies to those comments ... something that EVERYONE ON LIVEJOURNAL does.  If beckyzoole is a copyright violator, then EVERY LIVEJOURNAL USER WHO HAS EVER USED THE QUOTE FEATURE (or, of course, quoted from a post or comment by hand) is a copyright violator.  The very existence of the "Quote" button is incontrovertible evidence that LiveJournal intends and wants people to do this.

The truth of the matter, of course, is that beckyzoole is not in any way, shape or form a copyright violator, and davidkevin is a nasty, trolling little cyberstalker who is intentionally abusing LiveJournal's abuse procedure to harass her (among other people he stalks and harasses).

If you object to this kind of harassment and think this claim of "copyright violation" is as absurd as I do, please spread this news far and wide, and complain to LiveJournal about davidkevin's abusive behavior.  It's time he got a taste of his own medicine.  If anyone's journal should get suspended over this, it's his.

(Incidentally, you may also want to know that part of what he was trolling with this time was he claimed to have found a search engine that would allow him to read other users' friends-locked posts, but would not reveal what it was.  As evidence for his claim, he apparently posted an excerpt from a locked post by a user whom beckyzoole knows, and who is known to not have him friended.  LiveJournal denies that this is possible.)

(Yes, I did intentionally nudge my playlist by way of commentary.)

As you wish. I just didn't know if you wanted the new journal name exposed.

Exposed? Hell, bring it on! Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

See, I would never screen all comments to my journal and only unscreen the ones that are supportive of me.
I would never regularly post then delete nasty little comments so nobody but the recipient knows how rude I am.
I would never complain to LJ Abuse that someone has violated my copyright when they quote my 1-line comment in which I pule about how dare they try to comment to one of my posts.
I would never contact a woman's boyfriend to ask him to make her apologize to me, instead of having the gumption to speak with her directly.
Me, I got nothing to hide.

I welcome davidkevin, and nilajean too, to read my journal and to friend it if they so choose.

I will cheerfully give them the opportunity to demonstrate their mature, rational, friendly behavior.
