I am *really* angry at Google today. Went to expand on a couple of blogs I had in the works on Google Blogger, only to receive this message when I got there:
Possible Blogger Terms of Service Violations
This blog is under review due to possible Blogger Terms of Service violations and is currently unpublished. You can view your blog’s posts here in Blogger, but you may not make any changes.
My entire 2 week old blog was shut down. Was this some conspiracy by the Rod Johnson lovers at Google to silence me? Or maybe thousands of readers flagged me as blasphemous to the Spring movement? Unfortunately, life isn’t so exciting. Everybody knows I have zero credibility anyways and everybody pretty much ignores me.
No the real reason is that Google spam-bots have targeted my blogspot blog as spam. *sarcasm* Imagine that? Isn’t that the most hilarious ironic thing? Sure, made me a little depressed. Here I thought I was putting out some real content. /cry /sniffle /whine. This whole incident makes me think I should change the name of my blog to “I am spam”. Naah….I like being angry and spam tastes like shit.
Anyways, I waited all day to see if Google would resolve the problem. They haven’t so eff-them, hello wordpress. The move to wordpress was entirely seemless. They have a Google importer. Even imported my drafts. I don’t like the choice of themes very much, but they do have blog statistics.

I just want to know why you managed to choose the butt-ugliest theme available? ๐

Bill, maybe you should have talked about v14gr4 and c14l4s so much! Seriously Google is Borg.

‘Was this some conspiracy by the Rod Johnson lovers at Google to silence me?’ -> ๐
Anyway it was a very silly move from Google.I wonder if Fake Steve Jobs blog violates the same rules.Anyway!

serves you right, dude.
ever since you guys became stinkin’ rich and full of attitude(as-if you lacked it before that), nearly all you guys do is spammin’ the open-source, the blogsphere and, generally speaking, the codebase. Not to mention violating the OSS code of honor for apparently no good reason. boo.
