My old site on Blogger is currently shut down, having been shut down by Blogger about around December 15, 2008. I got too many complaints on Blogger and Blogger took me down for 4 days, then put me back up with a content screen warning you have to click through about objectionable content. Then they took me down again, and now you can’t get in at all. To this day, we do not know what folks were complaining about. Anyway, that screwed up everything.
They took me down at the peak of my popularity, when I had 2,700 readers/day. That quickly plummeted by about 2/3, along with my search engine ranking. So I reluctantly decided to move platforms over here to WordPress.
I am in the process of moving a lot of my more important posts from the old site to this new one.
Anyway, if you are looking for my old Blogger posts, in addition to some new ones, you might just check here, who knows what you might find?

Can’t u take down the offensive stuff so your old site will be accessible?

Hi Scott.
ATM, I do not have the faintest idea why they have taken down my site, I do not know what is offensive, etc.
So there is apparently no way for me to clean it up, nor is there any way for me to find out from the Blogger clowns.
I will try to import most of my old articles.
Were there any subjects in particular that you were interested in? Anything involving race, WN, etc.?

I pretty much read all the stuff but I was just curious.

wow – I was shut down by Eric Schmidt, head of Google- think the new era of brown shirts,
the way to get your blogger back open kinda is to set it on adult content, and then a warning will come up.
I was shut down for anti obama stuff a week after the faux election.

How do you know Eric Schmidt personally shut you down?
Sorry to hear about your censorship problem.
And welcome to the blog! Nice to see your face there too. You look like a mountain man.

thanks for the welcome!
I dont know that eric schmidt shut me down personally. its just that he is a friend of Obama and a lot of blogs that critized OBama disappeared on election day about, on or before.
google censors and bans. thats why I am a wordpress kind of person now and many people are keeping shadow blogs in case they get yanked so they can upload their blog again.

Yeah, fuck Blogger! WordPress is cool. At least they don’t censor. Well, they do censor, but you have to act really bad before they do that.

I’m glad that a variety of different mediums for people to engage in free speech exist. I didn’t know until now that there was this free speech issue that WP is doing better.
I gotta admit though, the subscribability of google’s products is a bit easier, so I will sub your old blog in case I lose this
While I do find some of your views a bit extreme and overgeneralizing, instead of overreacting to them and ignoring everything you say, I look past and see you make a lot of good points and criticisms too.

That’s sort of the idea of the blog, to be deliberately extreme and overgeneralizing, mostly just to piss people off. Why? I dunno, because I feel like it I guess. LOL. In a certain sense and on a certain level, this blog is kind of not really serious. It has a tongue in cheek aspect running through a lot of it.
