Subject: SixApart/LiveJournal's Denise Paolucci should
	resign.

Denise Paolucci's chief responsibility at LiveJournal
is to head their abuse department. Recently, she began
abusing her powers and suspending the accounts of
people merely because she didn't like material
contained within their journals. This prompted a
massive community backlash at her personal website <a
href="http://denisepaolucci.com">denise paolucci dot
com</a> and <a href="http://ljabuse.com">LJ Abuse dot
com</a>, a website not officially sanctioned by
LiveJournal but an after-hours messageboard for abuse
team volunteers. In response, she moved her websites
elsewhere and replaced them with a website that abuses
javascript to open countless moving popup windows
displaying extremely offensive images. Disturbingly,
these websites use the clipboardData.getData function
to grab the clipboard contents of Internet Explorer
users. She is also somehow affiliated with the
infamous trolling organization, the GNAA. She said in
an IRC channel that she did this "because it was
funny".

Denise Paolucci's actions are unfitting of her
position in such a large and prominent organization.
She has repeatedly shown no regard for the privacy and
freedoms of the users of LiveJournal. This is the type
of childish -1 flamebait crap you'd expect from the
twelve year olds at something awful, not of someone
who manages the abuse department at a service that has
2 million account holders. She should resign, and
failing that, SA/LJ should fire her.
