OK - so this just got really weird!<BR/><BR/>Many months ago, I too met "in transit" hauntedcellardoor.blogspot.com who is quite a writer indeed. <BR/><BR/>i introduced her to Pia's blog, which she then linked. that link must've caught Al's attention and now look- we're all kinda having a blog party.<BR/><BR/>it's such a small blogosphere.

Al:<BR/><BR/>Hell, what is this, 1984 in the blogosphere?<BR/><BR/>"Your blog does not conform to Party standards. The layout is subversive. Please to make necessary changes dictated by Party members." <BR/><BR/>Ugh!

Way, tootsie, way. That was cut-and-paste from their response to my application, which I submitted for the hell of it after reading your post. Ain't <I>that</I> somethin'?<BR/><BR/>No worries, though. I have a shitload (gasp! I said <B>shit!</B>) of rejection antibodies in my bloodstream. So, as this comment demonstrates, I didn't actually go out and hang myself over this.<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year

Hey guys:<BR/><BR/>It is a bit disconcerting, like they're trying to Disneyfy the internet. I mean, my blog is not obscene (is it?) <BR/><BR/>About a year or so ago, I remember reading about how big search engines were buckling under pressure from the Chinese govt to restrict access to certain sites, and that was kind of creepy. But as always, when money's involved, principles can go outta the

Ha!

We have our own little club going - Meet Me at Courting. I too came through Pia's blog after reading her cover story on the LI Press. And here we all are. All New Yorkers too.<BR/><BR/>We don't need your stinking Blog Explosion.

Pia's right on the money, EB. I thought -- and still think -- that "Courting Destiny" is the gateway to the blogosphere. :-)<BR/><BR/>I found my way to Pia's place several months ago through a friend's ("In Transit", hauntedcellardoor.blogspot.com) blogroll. From there, I found lots of great people, yourself included. Blog Explosion? I'll look into it, but who needs it?

I had thought that the original owners were members of the radical right but don't think so<BR/><BR/>If they were to take it to the logical conclusion they should ban all blogs that mention you or link to you or contain words considered to be curse words--personally I think "cunt" is much worse than any real four letter word. Doesn't stop me from using it though<BR/><BR/>Al didn't know about BE.

It-shay Ouse-Hay At-ray? Maybe they won't decipher the pig latin. Censorship be damned! That's pretty unbelievable.

good for you for not buckling under the pressure! Yeah E! Im impressed.<BR/><BR/>its kinda scary how conservative many media outlets have become-as if setting up new guidlines and booting people arbitrarily is going to help make this a "better" society.

Al:<BR/><BR/>Water closet rat--lol! I like that.<BR/><BR/>BlogExplosion is one of a number of sites where you can increase your traffic by surfing other member sites. The more sites you visit, the more credits you earn, and the more fellow members will surf you. Or something like that.

How about Water Closet Rat? or Poophouse Rat? or maybe Shithouse Rodent? Unbelievable. Of what marvelous privileges will you be deprived, EB, for your failure to comply?
