On the advice of an FA admin, I've deleted my previous journal. Which is fine by me, because the journal I was responding to was taken down in-kind. (As it turns out, using journals to flame people is against FA policy. Who knew? XD)

Also, it turns out sock-puppets WERE involved (and summarily deleted). Fancy that.

So the original journal is gone, it turns out I was right, and I've actually gotten lots and lots of commissions out of all this.

All's well that ends well. :)
