I just tried to access one of my favorite blogs, Latte Island, and got the following Google message:
This blog is
open to invited
readers only
http://latteisland.blogspot.com/
It doesn't look like you have been invited to read this blog. If you think this is a mistake, you might want to contact the blog author and request an invitation….
When a blogger goes private, it usually follows some sort of harassment.
Here’s the rub: I never had an eddress for Latte; she never provided one.
I was able to access her recent work through September 13, via a Google cache, but Google caches last a few weeks, at most, before they vanish into the ether. So, if anyone is in contact with Latte, please have her get in touch with me!
A couple of weeks before the blog closed, latte posted that she'd not had time to post anything recently. Maybe that, rather than some harassment, is the reason.
ReplyDeleteSame here and no idea why!
ReplyDeleteNo harassment, just burnout. I should have written a final post to that effect, but I wanted to make my content unavailable, because it caused me some minor inconvenience. The easiest way for me to keep my archives off Google (eventually) was to make the blog private, even though that prevented me from writing a final post.
ReplyDeleteI apologize for my bad manners, but it would have been too much trouble to do it the right way. Thanks for your support. It was thrilling to interact with real writers for a while. Maybe I'll be back one of these days, but for the time being, my everyday life has become more interesting than politics.
I found Latte's blog interesting. I noticed she or he had not been posting.
ReplyDeleteNicholas, I've been trying to check up on your VDARE work. I visited just the other day.

ReplyDeleteway you write is awesome.Thanks. Adding more information will be more useful.

No harassment
ReplyDeleteGlad to read that. I remember you as one of the bloggers who was threatened with anal rape over the Florida schoolgirls. I was worried.
