Internot
Sam Aurelius Milam III
After
the recent failure of an internet hosting service that I was using, I needed
to relocate some of my websites. I relocated The Frontiersman
Website to an AwardSpace account. I uploaded the website, began
testing it to see if there were any problems, and discovered some problems.
A good many issues of the newsletter were not available. I tried
the usual things like uploading those issues again. Uploading seemed
to go well but, when checked, those issues were just not there.
On
Monday, January 10, I initiated a trouble ticket with AwardSpace.
Here's most of the text of the ticket. The only things that I've
eliminated here are the two addresses that I provided as examples of missing
pages.
Various
of my files are missing. I have uploaded the files using both Web
Site Maestro and Fetch. In both cases, the programs indicate that
the files have been uploaded. However, the files are not available
on the website. Instead, I get a page that is empty except for a
big word "Enter". Here are links to two of the missing files, as
examples....
Will
you please fix whatever is preventing the files from being available on
the website?
Sincerely,
Sam Aurelius Milam III |
That
same day, I received this reply.
Hello Sam Aurelius Milam III.
Thank

Due

content filtering for all FREE accounts. Your page contains these
forbidden words:

and thus out automatic [sic] is making the redirect and
is blocking your website.

Recall
my frequent complaints about how Christian morality is imposed upon the
rest of us, against our wills. This situation is a good example.
AwardSpace imposes the typically filthy Christian belief that sex is obscene
onto people who use its services. It does so by banning any document
that contains any sexual referent that might offend somebody with a typically
filthy Christian attitude toward sex. AwardSpace won't even tell
me which words are prohibited. If I was willing to remove those words,
which I'm not, then I'd have to guess which words to remove. Worse
yet, the enforcer drones at AwardSpace have turned the filthy Christian
attitude regarding sex into a money-making scheme. That is, I can
avoid having my documents banned if I pay a fee and have my account upgraded.
It's almost like buying Dispensations from the Church, with AwardSpace
setting itself up as the Pope.
When
did the land of the free and the home of the brave become the land of the
politically correct and the home of the cowardly? All of those people
who think of themselves as Christians, who're offended by my attitude,
and who're yelling "It ain't us! It's them other guys!", need to
do something about those "other guys". Those "other guys" are acting
in the name of Christianity. I don't care about the Christian pedigree
of anybody who bans my work. Anybody who does that, "other guys"
or "you guys", is an enemy of liberty.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif)
When
any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its
subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden
to know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy
the motives.
