Apparently so. A reader wrote to tell me he was blocked from linking one of my posts there because of “abusive or spamming content.” So, I fired up the seldom-used Public Secrets account and, sure enough, I was blocked from linking a post from my own blog.
Hmmm…..
It had to have happened within the last week or so, since I recall seeing recent hits from Facebook. It’s no great loss, but I am curious which post outraged someone so much that he or she felt a need to complain. Was it one pointing out the inherent aggressiveness [1], misogyny [2], and Jew-hatred [3] in Islam? That’s not being abusive, just honest. My contentions that Eric Holder [4] should be impeached, Barack Obama is a stealth Socialist [5], and this entire administration a bunch of bumblers out to weaken the United States [6]? Strong opinions, yes, but “abusive?”
And I wonder if it takes one complaint or several?
As for “spamming,” when did I ever try to sell any of you the “Secret Way To Make Money Fast?”
Well, recently, at any rate.

Anyone know how one goes about getting the ban lifted? Not so much for me, but I’d like others to be able to link, if they want to.
UPDATE: It looks like the ban has been lifted.
