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.)
