How to take the fun out of blogging!

I mentioned in my Anonymity post that the person I work with would love for me to post scholarly articles. Well, he has told me that my job description now includes blogging in his name.

Despite what the booboisie (ignorentsia? hoi polloi? cretin class?) believe, I have a pretty good reputation as a lawyer and for doing legal research. To be quite honest, these jokers are much more polite when they are ponying up $20-30k for me to guide them through a federal gun charge. That's a major reason I can blow off their comments. Well, that and the fact that I don't like moronic, time wasters.

Anyway, I now have to crank out cogent comments on the latest court cases. That isn't too hard since I've been preparing all the CLE material he claims as his own. Not that I mind since I get free CLE for doing that!

The problem is that this is now WORK, which is something I try to avoid. My wife will tell you that I do not define myself by my job, no matter how good I am at it. My life begins once I leave court and the office.

The Second Amendment stuff is a fun game, but I won't persuade the believers. I just hope that someone is able to put it to good use.

Blocked

For some reason Blogger decided to block this blog as spam.

Your blog is marked as spam

Blogger's spam-prevention robots have detected that your blog has characteristics of a spam blog. (What's a spam blog?) Since you're an actual person reading this, your blog is probably not a spam blog. Automated spam detection is inherently fuzzy, and we sincerely apologize for this false positive.

We received your unlock request on August 3, 2009. On behalf of the robots, we apologize for locking your non-spam blog. Please be patient while we take a look at your blog and verify that it is not spam.

IT seems this is a problem for Google Blogs for some reason, probably to do with search engine optimisation and getting your site a higher ranking.

Hey, Google get yer shit together as this is not a spam blog. Sure I link, especially when I make a highly controversial comment such as the Second Amendment is a dead letter.

You bet your ass I am going to link to my sources because that is an open invitation to the all the keyboard warriors out there if I don't back up what I say with FACTS.

And unlike certain folk, such as Eugene Vol, er he who should not be named, I don't play that game. Those people want to flood the internet with their junk opinions. I would prefer to keep as low a profile as possible. If I am getting high search engine ratings, I hope it is because I am offering quality commentary: not using SEO tricks.

I mean I say a supreme court justice is ignorant in one of my posts for chrissake. Not just in it, but the title of it. I have a good reason to want some anonymity here!

But, I passed your capcha and this will pass your capcha.

On the other hand, I may move to Wordpress.

I thought you people didn't believe in censorship!
