It looks like he made it friends-only after I saw it but before I got to show some friends I thought would appreciate it. Boo.

Private, judging from a later journal entry of his.

Apparently, a number of people didn't get the joke and thought he was poking fun not at fandom, but at Christianity/Mel Gibson/whatever, and said some hurtful things to him or each other in comments.

Pity.

Oh well -- thanks for clearing it up! I'm sorry to hear that he had to take it down.
