They have, therefore, moved to a new venue, and are rebooting. I have not followed this blog, ergo, I am unaware of what pissed off the hoity-toities at WordPress.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/westernrifleshooters.us\/\">https:\/\/westernrifleshooters.us\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And WordPress is afraid of its own shadows, now appearing to act as the Thought Police and the Speech Police.\u00a0 I tend to not respond to spoiled brats, but &#8211; well, they do have a right to their own opinions. If they don&#8217;t like guns and gun people, they should post a notice about it on their access route. Blindsiding someone while you&#8217;re using their weblog to post ads that put money in your pockets is beyond rude.<\/p>\n<p>But that alone really does give me hope for the future. \u00a0Be bland or be banned. Be hostile to Free Thought or be damned to the Outer Circles where The They\/The Thought Police think no one can find you.\u00a0 The They, a\/k\/a the Thought\/Speech Police will only allow you to post what they agree with. Well, it is WP&#8217;s property and you&#8217;re allowed access to it, so you&#8217;d better think their way or be damned to you!!!<\/p>\n<p>If you know of any other blogs or sites that were snookered and unpersonned by the Thought\/Speech Police, please let us know. Unless I\u2019m still living in the 17<sup>th<\/sup> century, when Bloody Mary Tudor was executing anyone who refused to reconvert from the Church of England to the Church of Rome and the Pope as Head of State, it seems to me that those 1<sup>st<\/sup> Amendment bits about Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press mean exactly that. It was, after all, her and her half-sister Elizabeth\u2019s father who split with Rome and got a group of scholars to translate the Latin bible into English. Henry had no interest in paying taxes to a black hole in Rome that was gobbling up the wealth of Europe, nor did he like being told what to do and how to do it by a foreign government. \u201cEngland is for the English!\u201d Henry&#8217;s split with Rome was the kick-start of blowing off foreign governments.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure what the quarrel with WordPress was all about, because while the blog owner is obviously annoyed at being dumped by WordPress, the details are missing, possibly because he was blindsided. Rather than speculate, I\u2019ve provided the link to his reboot.<\/p>\n<p>When you have a bunch of spoiled brats who think they know everything and don\u2019t want reality inflicted on them, the urge to fight back in various ways grows more prominent with every passing day, as with the semi-global dictatorship of the Church of Rome in the Dark and Middle Ages.<\/p>\n<p>How many other splits with Rome came into existence during that period? Lots of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apparently, WordPress got its undies in a bunch over Western Rifle Shooters Association and unpersonned their &hellip; <a title=\"Speech Police\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=100790\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Speech Police<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":653,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[220,28,188],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-100790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-floggings-will-continue-until-morale-improves","category-bloggers-and-stuff","category-reality-check"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=100790"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100790\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":100792,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100790\/revisions\/100792"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=100790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=100790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=100790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
