jmtorres: From Lady Gaga's Bad Romance music video; the peach-haired, wide-eyed iteration (hatred)
This law is intended to prevent the use of virtual weapons or threats as goads to cause [personal profile] jmtorres to work on any particular project. [personal profile] jmtorres dislikes this practice so intensely that such threats are more likely to cause her to delete all files relating to the project over which she has been threatened than to work on it, but because no one seemed to understand this, [personal profile] jmtorres stated she would ban users who did so, and then did.

The original law was aimed mostly and sharp and/or pointy sticks, as this was the most common weapon. (The only acceptable reason for carrying pointy sticks is with intent to build a really little fence.) This law now covers any object which is commonly held in public opinion to be a weapon (gun, knife, sword, candlestick, etc) or an object specifically stated to be a weapon or instrument of pain, torture or annoyance--including spoons, [livejournal.com profile] ladyvyola. [livejournal.com profile] kernezelda said something about eating my brain out with a spoon awhile back, so spoons are right out. (There is no acceptable reason for having a spoon. There is no spoon.)

Final judgement on what objects violate this law rests with [personal profile] jmtorres. If you are unsure, ask.

Readers are not permitted to use any such objects on [personal profile] jmtorres, nor threaten to use any such objects on [personal profile] jmtorres, nor carry them on her journal. [personal profile] jmtorres cannot police the carrying of such objects on other journals, but if she is threatened or attacked in the comments of another journal, she will still ban the person doing the threatening or attacking from commenting in her own journal.

People who for some reason still do not take this seriously WILL be banned from commenting in this journal for an amount of time to be determined by [personal profile] jmtorres.

Banning does not automatically mean [personal profile] jmtorres hates you. [personal profile] jmtorres has a hatred of sticks and other prods that no one seems to take seriously, but does not generally hate the wielder. Here are some examples of what various lengths of banning mean, in combination with other measures:

  • banning for one week--[personal profile] jmtorres still likes you but would really like you to cut it out.
  • banning for a month--[personal profile] jmtorres is really pretty frustrated with you, actually, but expects to have cooled off after some time apart.
  • banning for any length of time + turning off anonymous commenting--[personal profile] jmtorres is not interested in your excuses and would like you to shut up now.
  • permanent banning + removal from access list--fuck off and die.


All sentences will be declared at time of sentencing, although [personal profile] jmtorres reserves the right to increase any sentence due to continued annoyance.



Am I aware [livejournal.com profile] veritykindle was joking? Yes. Did I ban her anyway? You bet your ass I did. Am I aware she did not know of the original anti-stick post at the time she made her comment? No. However, I would not have granted any further leniency for it. [livejournal.com profile] veritykindle has the unfortunate fate of being made my example. I said the next person to do it would be banned, and I banned the next person to do it.

Honestly, kids, didn't your moms ever tell you you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar?
