Deleted Post

The post "Nothing to see here" was deleted because Blogger became non-operational until I deleted it. Here is a screenshot, though.

No messages suggested that the blogging interface was locked up because of the post, nor to suggest deleting it as a way to fix things. Probably it was just one of those odd coincidences. If it should happen to any of my co-bloggers in the future, please let me know.

Now isn't that interesting. Would you consider posting the comments that had accumulated, here?

I’m sorry, I don’t have the comments saved.

While you are correct that it probably is a coincidence - I have heard of no problems with blogger - it does set the paranoid streak in us all these days on alert, doesn't it?

I try to come to any conclusion but the paranoid one. But I have to admit it did occur to me. Let's see what the other conservative sites pick up about Antrim County.

I did mention that the Powell case featuring this audit has been delayed by SCOTUS past the certification of Electoral College votes by Congress. They aren’t asking states to respond to her case until nearly a week after it will be moot.

“I try to come to any conclusion but the paranoid one. But I have to admit it did occur to me.”

We lived for a while in China. It’s poisonous to live in such a state because it makes paranoia rational, which is disabling in many respects. Like you, I would prefer to avoid it.

Fortunately Blogger’s new engine is clumsy enough that I can believe it just happened.

Given the mess Google has been having this week, I'd incline somewhat more toward "glitch" than toward malice. This week.

Why don't you try reposting it, to see what happens?

At the moment I still can't access the HTML editor without crashing the blogging platform. I'm not sure what is going on with it, but it does look like some kind of technical issue. I have to log in with an iOS device to reset it to "Compose View" mode to restore functionality; my Windows laptop crashes it every time, no matter which browser I use to get to Blogger. Clearing caches and such doesn't fix things.

So it's doubtless a technical problem, but it's a problem.

Grim, thanks for the explanation.

Especially with computers, it's wise to remember the adage "Never assume malice when incompetence will explain it".

Dont get red flagged. Good thing my comments if any were deleted.

Grim s blogspot was inaccessible a few days ago. Me being me, this likely has to do with taking over the internet kill switch due to the timing.

I was talking about this back in june 2020.

Trump s situation is perfect for it.

I mean, Google owns Blogger. That's a potential downside for any long-term hopes of free speech on this platform. However, I don't think there's anything but a strange technical issue here. I can still post, as long as I use their Compose View and don't try to edit the HTML directly. HTML is dead for me on my computer, but I can access it on my phone.
