Cindy, some LJ's are searchable by Google, et cetera. If you were doing some sort of keyword search, you might be able to find a bunch of stuff you didn't know was out there.

Sure. It's just funny it was found by anyone within hours of being posted. I suppose she could have emailed some of the people she wronged and pointed them at the LJ. It's just striking me as odd. I don't know any of these people, except from reading about the whole original saga.

LJ also has a notification feature where you can get an e-mail whenever a person posts a new entry, or an entry with a particular tag. You don't need to be friended to use that. And maybe people just had her LJ bookmarked so they could check occasionally to see if there was new craziness.

The user info reports:

Now I assume time zone explain that the first post is dated 3/4, but it seems to be a brand new LJ.

I live my fannish life only seconds away from a wank apocalypse.

Do you know turimel, shrift? Does she strike you as reputable? I know most of what I know of the VB saga I learned from reading her lj.

Cindy, I think this is the speech in question. [link]

[The Antichrist] will not be hostile "in principle" to Christ. Indeed, he will appreciate Christ's teaching. But he will reject the teaching that Christ is unique, and will deny that Christ is risen and alive today.

One sees here described -- and condemned -- a Christianity of "values," of "openings," of "dialogue," a Christianity where it seems there is little room left for the person of the Son of God crucified for us and risen, little room for the actual event of salvation.

And, yeah, what you said. It reads to me like he's not sorting things into good/bad boxes; he's saying that even a good thing becomes Anti-Christian if it is made just as important as Christ. Which I can't argue with.

Similarly, a Wikipedia impostor: [link]

Also, Christ and Antichrist must never be allowed to come in contact with each other, else the resulting explosion would wipe out....

Sorry, I can't help but make that joke. Same for Pope/Anti-pope....

in Christian theology, anti-Christ.

So, what you're saying is, "anti-Christ" (Jesus not at the top of the food chain) isn't the same as "Anti-Christ" (demagogue big into whips, chains, and deviltry in the literal sense)? Oh, okay. Because I was assuming the former and the latter were the same thing, and you (though possibly not our friend Biffi) seem to be saying they're two different things.

You Christians need to invest in some name-infrastructure, I think. We can call the latter guy Bob.

The funny anthropological thing about the linked wank, to my eye, is how the person in question, while crazier than a sack of hammers and described openly as such, is generally respected as to pronoun-choice. (Formerly female, now transgendered.) There are a couple of "she" and "her" in there, and some non-gendered pronouns, but quite a few posts that respect that choice (while still considering the person to be a sack of hammers).

Internet, how I love you.

Are there any photos, shrift?

I wish I had seen the milk carton thing.
