Crackdown is On

Ironically enough, the last post I made was with regard to having freedoms stripped away here at good 'ol LU. Roughly 48 hours (and change) later, here I am informing you that it would appear that admin is on the prowl. We have had one confirmed hit that Chaplain Carl (at least) is monitoring blogs for use of profanity. This was in reference to a thinly veiled attempt at stripping the chaplain position from one poor soul. As I told someone earlier today, it looks like the first volley of missiles flew overhead and I think I just heard the first one hit.

I'm not sure exactly what is to be done and what can be done. Although I dutifully continue to link to the Yellow Project for the good of the idle passer-by, I fear for those who are linked from it. The sad thing is that I don't even know what administration is about to come down about, whom on, or anything. All I know is that everyone seems to be working the same MO: get rid of anything offensive and wait for more word. If you get word before I do, the email is href="mailto:masteromega@hawkbats.com">masteromega@hawkbats.com, or you can just post it in the comments.

Incidentally, if any administration has the balls to come out of the shadows and into the fore on this, email me. I severely doubt that the administration here would do this, noting the marked tendancy towards cowardice, misinformation, and rule by heavy-handed edict... but who knows? I've been proven wrong before.
