What are you doing right now?

Besides posting on here and replying to this thread. Original credit for this goes back to Fate and Nathan on MX.

XD 'S okay.

But, yeah, the legal action is nothing you have to worry about, and nothing to do with the 'disruption.' To my knowledge. But then again, they never tell me anything so I wouldn't know.

[o0_flying high_0o]

To be honest, I highly doubt legal action is something you have to worry about either, Fishy. I think it's an empty threat to help make sure you stay away after they decided you could possibly be a threat and avoid the alter hunt they had with Nathan when it came to you and Lamp.

[Megan (Fishy)]

Actually, to paraphrase what Katy said in a PM to an unknown source that was then sent to Kayte (I know, too many sources), she said something like "some of you think we're just full of empty threats now, but this is to be taken seriously and we are discussing this with many higher ups. It's a serious matter so it will take time."

Paraphrased, of course, I can dig up the direct quote if it's necessary.

[o0_flying high_0o]

Or maybe I'm wrong and you're right to worry. But surely if they were actually intending on taking you to court they'd at least bother telling you, and explaining what for.

[Megan (Fishy)]

I don't know. I desperately hope you're right.

And you have to think like a condescending bitch who's high off her power trip. Would you lower yourself to the standards of these inferior children and explain why you're traumatizing them so?

[o0_flying high_0o]

Nope. But I would take delight in informing the child that I would be seeing them in court and that I would make them pay for everything they did to me.

[Megan (Fishy)]

And how would you justify "everything they did to me" to make it sound like they're the ones at fault and you're innocent?

[nathan_p]

...Okay, I'm just cracking up here at the thought of legal action.

Really? We're supposed to believe that?

OK. How are they going to get our IPs? Ask Ning? Good luck.

After that, good luck tracking the IPs back to us.

[Megan (Fishy)]

They can get our IPs through our email addresses, or they can send a request to our ISP if they have a good reason. And if any non-Hachette (i.e. law enforcement types) get involved, they can get our IPs instantly and run them to pull up every scrap of personal info you ever knew you had.

[nathan_p]

And our ISPs are going to believe them? The FBI is going to take their bullshit?

Sure. Yeah.

I'll believe it when you show me accounts of, say, Anonymi being arrested for trolling people IRL for lulz.

Not, I hasten to say, to take this lightly, but... I really doubt the FBI is going to take action over some butthurt women in their thirties complaining about teenagers being mean to them.

[Megan (Fishy)]

Sorry, I'm being negative. Paranoia makes you think worst-case scenario. But, yeah, you're probably right. If they can pull a makeshift case together, they might have us, but getting the evidence/reason is their downfall.

[nathan_p]

I'm not the most reasonable person in the world right now, either, though I think I'm leaning more towards the realistic side vs. Everyone And Everything Is Out To Get Me.
