Oh, for Heaven's Sake...
Dear 6A/LJ,
When I said I wanted clarification of your policies, this was not what I meant.
I meant clarification, not "the ToS hasn't really changed" followed by a bunch of vague statements that still doesn't actually say anything and still doesn't clarify what is and is not acceptable on LJ.
In case you're wondering, the issue is all about how you are interpreting the ToS. Since we can't read minds, we need you to tell us point blank. Which you're not.
And no, we're not whining. This is what happens when your user base has stopped trusting you. We're looking for loopholes where you could conceivably screw us over. This is about protecting ourselves, which obviously clashes with your need to protect your interests.
Really, the comments to the post say it better than I can at this point.
Look, answers in blunt English would be good here. Even if they're answers I don't like, something more than these vague statements and transparency that's about as transparent as mud is not an answer.
*throws up hands*
So much for that clarification...

As I understand it, at least in some US states, it is also "legal for parents to give an alcoholic drink to their children within the confines of their property." I'm not sure if there's an age minimum.
Which shows another problem that LJ/6A has to deal with - state by state the law is all over the place. In some states anal sex is illegal, in others it is not. I believe in certain states it is still on statues that it is not possible to rape one's wife - marrying was the provision of consent.

Even within the borders of the U.S. itself, what's legal and not legal can vary wildly from state to state and that's certainly caused problems in the past.
