[deep breath]

My “call to arms” post started off pretty darned snarky, but has gone through several incarnations, and I think I’ve managed to filter out most of the venom. The latest version is here:

What would be really awesome is if we could collect at least as many posts that were blocked as there were “approved” posts. But somehow, I doubt that will happen. :-p

We’ll see…

I don’t think “those people” (as General Lee used to refer to the US Army) were the least bit willing to be honest and earnest with those of us who objected to their outrages.

And yes, Kristina, my comment did eventually get through, or might I say, it was posted (not sure if it “got through”).

…And wow, I just went and looked at the HTML again; if I’m reading this correctly, it tells Internet Explorer to refresh every 30 seconds and everything non-Microsoft to refresh every twelve. No wonder it was so difficult to read in Firefox and Safari.

Yes, the 30-second refresh kept Firefox buzzing on my machine.

AHA! Thank you!

I’ve only got a handful so far, from five people including myself. But there has been some interest shown in compiling a list of blocked posts, to made available for reposting. I’ll be keeping contact info so that all authors can be asked for explicit permission before their posts appear. I don’t know if their will be enough to make any impact, but I’ll be doing what I can, and I’m open to any and all ideas.
