ehhh... wtf?

I have a question today. Why would someone open a brand new LJ account and pick a username that has been deleted, while obviously trying - through her profile and posts - to make some kind of statement AGAINST the person who used to be (and still is, by many people) associated with that particular username?... I am not disputing anyone's right to make whatever statements they wish in their private journal - but couldn't she have picked a different label to campaign under? Or is it a very deliberate attempt to confuse and annoy the friends of the deleted journal?... If that's the case, then yeah, I have to admit it worked. I hope it made you happy, whoever you are. Btw, I noticed it completely by accident, going through my older posts and seeing that the link which used to be 'dead' is now active again. And now I feel like I have to check all my previous posts since probably 2004, or something like that, and edit the name wherever it appears, because obviously I wasn't referring to the person who is now being linked to my posts. I have no bloody idea who she is, and I'm not sure I even want to know. I just don't see the rhyme or reason in this particular prank. Some people at least have the integrity to put their own recognizable name under the opinions they express, you know?

It's an awfully mean thing to do. I am surprised someone was able to get that name so fast--names I deleted a year ago are still not available for use by others. I wonder if it was hacked? Either way, no matter what you thought about the controversy, addressing it in this way is just pathetic.

I totally agree. Looks like just a stupid, callous way to stir up a mound of shit and get some attention. Unfortunately, people are playing right into this person's hands, leaving upset comments, to which she magnanimously responds by dropping more ambiguous quotes and giving every impression of feeling superior.
