A few theories.
May. 30th, 2007 05:35 pm1. Warriors for Innocence is a very elaborate lj-dramaesque prank team and instead of collecting lists of who has a crush on whom this time around, this particular group of people found a way to start dropping the banhammer by spearheading a crusade to stamp out pedophiles (who could argue against that?) armed with only righteous indignation and a good sense of irony.
2. Warriors for Innocence is an actual group on a crusade to stamp out pedophiles (who could argue against that?) and they've got some nasty shit on someone at Six Apart or someone on Six Apart's legal counsel, which is why LJ caved faster than a Mexico City sinkhole on this one.
3. This along with CBS buying last.fm is, I believe, the Fifth and a Half Sign of the End Times.
4.POST 9/11 WORLD
5. This is stupid, you're stupid, I'm stupid, they're stupid, don't you see? Your stupid minds! Stupid, stupid!
6. I don't know. This is just depressing dumb.

There's even instructions on how to act like a child in chatrooms to "trap" their predatory targets. INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO ROLEPLAY A CHILD FLIRTING WITH ADULTS AND TALKING ABOUT SEX.
I can't remember if it was on the SA Forums or Metafilter, but someone commented that the most irrationally virulent crusaders against what they deem "deviant" or "wrong" are usually themselves in the same camp, and their attempts at justification just de-evolve into self-loathing and finally general loathing altogether. You know.
Etc etc etc. Nothing new there, really, but what I liked was the quote that came out of the comment: "It's obvious WFI's so far in the child porn closet that they've knocked the back drywall down and are building a new closet behind it."
