So some of my Canucks LJ friends have been harrassed for slashing, essentially. *big hugs to them* The net is full of idiots, so I'm not really surprised that this happened, but really none of us are doing anything wrong. Slash can be thought as one very extreme, one very large inside joke that all of us are in on. Politicians feed the population lies that end up killing people, so what we say is harmless in the grand scheme of things.
