Free LJs: Different problem

thistlechaserWhen I learned that LJ was removing the invite code system, I was rather upset. I worried about trolls making lots of LJ names just to troll with. Luckily the troll thing isn't a big issue, but something I hadn't has expected come up:
Crap LJs like![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fandom_scruples. Sure, kids shouldn't be permitted to see NC-17 stuff, but should it not be the parent's job to keep them from seeing such things? Do we need someone naming themselves The Internet Police and telling people "Don't read these writers! They're oh so bad by my standards, so YOU shouldn't read them!"?
What the hell? I thought the whole fandom was just PMSing (with all that BNF-wars crap), but it's the ability to make limitless LJs which is at the bottom of this.
I just love how the creator of this LJ uses the pronoun "we" to imply more people are behind this movement than him or her.
I'm feeling the need to write smut and not only leave it un-password protected, but to use keywords which would draw kids in. Grrr.
(Slept better last night. Taking a sinus pill before bed = sleep, not taking one = no sleep. However, they raise blood pressure, so taking one could = heart exploding and splattering blood all over my nice white wall, which wouldn't be good.)
