Flame Watch

So the highschool clique that is the Flame conference on The WELL has finally discovered W.N.O.T.W. And of course, they're apoplectic over it, gleefully tearing it apart, hurling insults left and right at yours truly, desperately looking for violations of The WELL's user agreement and You Own Your Own Words rules when there aren't any violations.

Life goes on, bra.

Update: now there are people in flame.ind copying paragraphs here and there from this blog and posting them verbatim on flame.ind, while at the same time raising insinuations of YOYOW violations.

Update II: Just got the following email.

This notice was automatically generated when the issuing host placed your account on restricted status in the flame.ind conference. During this restriction, you may continue to visit and read this conference, but you will not be permitted to respond to any topics, nor may you start any new topics. The host has designated your restriction run for 3 days from the time of this notification.

If you have any questions or wish to discuss the reasons for this restriction, please reply to the hosts of the flame.ind conference. You will find the WELL's policy on independent conferences posted in the policy conference.

Good old WELL.

Update III: Lots of traffic coming from The WELL's "backstage" conference, a smoke-filled room, er, a private conference, for which I guess one needs a "backstage pass", so to speak. One can only guess what's being discussed there.
