FIREBIRD RETURNS......

I've been on Blogger since 2010, writing on three separate blogs.  Liked it here, liked the program... and can't beat the price.  When I first started 'SHE WRITES' Blogger/Blogspot had a disclaimer for adult content.  No problem - I thought it was a great idea.  Then after a few years, they decided they would no longer permit 'porn'.... so I BOUGHT a Blogger domain, where I could write and publish what I want.  So far, so good....

Within weeks of their decision, after the excrement his the oscillating device, Google reversed their decision to censor their authors.  Rather than switch back, I stayed on the paid domain - because I'd paid for it!

Today, I received an email that said:
Hello,
We wanted to make you aware that we are upgrading our services and making some changes to better support your domain. As part of this upgrade, Whois privacy will now be provided by Contact Privacy Inc. according to the Contact Privacy Inc. Terms of Service. These upgrades will affect the following domain:
  firebirdwrites.com
Sooooooooo... I'm not a techie, and I know nothing about this outfit Google is handing me off to, but to make a long story short - I ain't going!

I spent this morning moving all my 'stuff' back to the free side of blogger. I'll stay there until they have another round of censorship.... when that happens, and it WILL, I will take all THREE of my blogs and hit the road.

I still have a Wordpress account, and they permit 'mature' content, as long as it's not child porn or violence.  That will be my first stop in my journey to maintain my free speech.....

In the mean time.... enjoy!
