Unpublished Author

 

Over the past few days I have had one 16-year-old post of mine put behind a "Sensitive Material" checkpoint by Blogger, and Three Two! Count 'Em! Three  Two! posts -- one from 2015 and two from 2016 -- officially "unpublished" by Blogger on the following grounds:

As you may know, our Community Guidelines 

[other Blogger link] describe the boundaries for what we 

allow-- and don't allow-- on Blogger. Your post titled "Die With The Lie" 

was flagged to us for review. 

 

We have determined that it violates our 

guidelines and have unpublished the URL 

http://driftglass.blogspot.com/2015/06/die-with-lie.html, making it 

unavailable to blog readers.

     Why was your blog post unpublished?

     Your content has violated our Malware and Viruses policy.

This will trigger a review of the post.

It's these latter two that made me laugh out loud.

I do appreciate Blogger's diligence in sending their bots burrowing through my archives to ferret out any links that might send my readers stumbling unawares onto the a perilous road to Malware-land -- 

-- and the death of love and trust.

No, the thing that cracked me up is that the only suspect links on either of these posts are from the one or two rare occasions when I linked to the infamous wingnut cesspit World Net Daily.

Which now is apparently being flagged as a malware and virus superspreader site.  

Which is more perfectly, chef's-kiss apt than I have words to describe.
