Hawaii clubs? WTF? New Yorkers who leave the city (god knows why) to go to school elsewhere don't make New York clubs. What on earth could be so special about Hawaii?
(No, seriously, I'm curious)

I don't know why this amuses me so much, but it does. I just love when people display their own ignorance by attempting to "correct" others. (On the other hand, this is where we get hypercorrection from, so it's not all great....)
Need minor help...

Now, we've got a "don't complain about people asking for credit" policy over at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
book_icons. On top of that, I personally dislike the attitude shown in this user's comments - a minor "hey, he doesn't allow that, here's the link" seems more polite than "COPYRIGHT!!!!". I know that's not what she said, but I keep reading it like that. When we come right down to it, just about every icon on LiveJournal violates somebody's copyright, however both we and the vast majority of copyright holders pretend to ignore that little fact because prosecuting everyone would make you really unpopular and cost a lot of money and no money is being lost anyway. Or something.
But Brian Froud apparently is an exception, and I wouldn't want to harm anybody by having somebody else use his work without his permission on my comm.
So, what I need is a way to politely but firmly 1. tell off the commenter for violating the sacred rule about bitching at those who want credit (seriously, is it that big a deal?) and 2. remind everyone that copyright does exist, even if you're not profiting from it, and that it's up to you to make sure that you aren't going against the copyright holder's express wishes and/or setting yourself up for prosecution in the future.
But politely.
Help?
(And please don't be rushing off to comment. That negates the whole "politely" thing, even if you *are* polite)

Long story short, they're euthanizing up to 500 greyhounds on May 14th if they're not in homes/shelters by then. If you're in Conneticut, or you know anyone in that area, please spread this link around.
I seem to have developed a stalker...
May. 3rd, 2005 10:24 pmLet's just say that I find his claims of having seen me all the time around campus a little slim. I don't exactly hang out there, and lately I'm back to "leaving the house is stressful", so I *really* am not hanging out at Brooklyn College.
However, here's a test. You've seen me so much. How long is my hair? What type of laptop do I have? What color are my shoes?
*listens to the crickets*
Unless you can prove that you actually know me and that you're not a creepy stalker person, I don't want you in my journal.
(This goes for this specific person, not for the rest of youse.)
