I don't understand the issue here. Tilted Forum Project is simply the best moderated forum on the Internet, and it's like that based on a set of rules that have been made continously since it was created. If the rules are against child pornography, site bashing, and flaming, so be it. If the journals are viewable by people on the Internet, then the same fucking rules need to be applied to the journals. The journals aren't a seperate entity from TFP -- they are a place to post thoughts that won't fit anywhere else. Asking for them to be completely private is simply unrealistic. This IS the Internet, after all.
LiveJournals are moderated. Every damn entry you post in a LiveJournal is seen by an administrator for the same reasons that they are here.
Anyone who makes a fuss about the journal entries being seen by administrators needs to go and buy a web domain to post their shit or a little $1.00 journal to write their thoughts in. This is Tilted Forum Project and its journals, not "Tilted Forum Project and a place to post whatever I want without restriction."
It's sad to see those members be banned, but if they're willing to fight against the TFP's rules, then there really isn't another choice. Good judgment Hal and the rest of the people involved!
