But in my own words:

Fair Use notice regarding "hit-and-run" commenting:

Be advised that this is a public journal, and the majority of the posts in it are unfiltered.  Do not post anything in a comment to this journal that you do not want to be visible to anyone who can view that post, unless I have explicitly stated that comments to the post in question will be screened.  In particular, I will not tolerate hit-and-run commenting.

"Hit-and-run commenting" is a behavior in which people post a comment, frequently containing nasty remarks which the commenter does not wish to be seen in public but wishes myself or the commenter they are following up to receive in email, then immediately delete the comment before anyone else can see it.  This constitutes legal notice that I reserve the right to copy and repost at my discretion, at the security level of the original post to which the comment was made, any part or all of the content of any comment made to this journal, regardless of whether the comment is subsequently deleted.  If you don't want it seen in public, don't post it in my journal; it's that simple.  I don't care WHAT copyright claims you may care to make regarding content posted in your own journal; this is MY journal, and you will abide by MY fair-use rights for anythng you post in it.  By commenting in my journal, you explicitly agree that my intent to preserve and display your comment as stated above does not in any way constitute a violation of law, of ethics, or of LiveJournal's Terms of Service, and you explicitly acknowledge full fair-use rights with regard to all or any part of your comment by myself or any other commenter in my journal.

This should not in any regard be taken to restrict or prohibit replacing a comment with a substantially similar comment in order to correct a factual, grammatical, spelling or formatting error, nor does it restrict your right to post a retraction of any comment you later think better of, and I will not use this policy to make public any information in a screened comment that is not abusive and which the poster of the comment has not granted permission to unscreen.

(Frankly, if you don't behave in an intentionally abusive manner on LiveJournal, this Fair Use notice is highly unlikely to ever affect you.)

Quite honestly, if someone wants to take me to court saying "I copyrighted my journal saying that nothing in it and nothing I post in anyone else's may be reproduced without my permission, then I called him a lying racist babyraping cryptofascist pedophile queer hosebag in a comment in his journal and immediately deleted it, and he QUOTED ME, the plagiarizing bastard!!!!!", it'd be worth going to court just to see the look on the judge's face.

yes, yes it would...

a lying racist babyraping cryptofascist pedophile queer hosebag

The thought of anyone calling YOU that is just mystifying - and would make me question his/her sanity seriously!!

Truly strange.
