As I commented to the_dala, the issue for me isn't the legality or lack thereof of the work that was targeted. It's that this whole ongoing saga demonstrates how entirely corporate LJ has become, and how the company's priorities have changed since Brad was bought out by Six Apart. When we joined LJ, it was there for us, the users. Now it's clear from the highhanded way the staff has been dealing with users that we are no longer their first priority. The advertisers are. They're not concerned with whether reported abuses are truly harmful (pro-anorexia comms, for instance, appear to be safe from TOS-ing even though they promote self-harm)--just that their response looks good to their sponsors.

If I had my choice, I'd move fandom to JournalFen, since that's a service by fans for fans, but any non-corporate LJ clone is preferable.
