I think the crappy decision on their part was choosing to post unlocked in a community that was already targeted and deleted during the first strikethrough kerfuffle.
The really annoying thing is that the LJ people were saying that it's ok to discuss or write about fictional underage characters, like Romeo & Juliet or the Harry Potter kids (their examples). Someone even reported their own HP story to test it and they were given an ok. But as soon as someone illustrates a story featuring fictional underage people they're going to be banned for life? That's really not fair. Oh, I'm sorry, they weren't banned because the characters were underage, the pieces just lacked artistic merit. Grrr.
