So I will not be participating in blindfold. I have deleted the fill that I was working on from my computer. I will NOT defriend, or even judge, anyone who does participate; that's a call every person has to make for him or herself. I will, and do, judge the person who posted the prompt and those defending it. So if that's anyone on my flist, please defriend me. I won't tell anyone why it happened, under any set of circumstances. You don't even have to tell me why you're doing it. But this is an issue I feel very strongly about.
There are some excellent posts on this issue, but I'm uncomfortable linking to people's writings without their permission. If you've written about this and want me to link to you, please let me know and I'll do so.

ETA: The blindfold mods have changed their minds and removed the prompt and banned the use of names of real children in further prompts. it's just been brought to my attention, however, that a prompter would still be able to ask for "Misha's son". That's why the "excellent news" at the beginning of this ETA has been removed.
