Where is Glen Filthie?

 The Thunderbox is gone, along with the bad jokes, the Har-har-hars, and some nice photography of the northlands. I suspect the Glen ran afoul of the Google censors and has had his Blogger privileges revoked.

But who knows? Maybe he threw up his hands, tired of hollering down the well just to hear his own echo, and deleted the blog himself.

So, Glen, if you're still reading blogs and you see this note, we noticed you were gone and hope you are doing okay. Leave us a reply if you can.


Update: Glen has been located at https://gab.com/Glenfilthie. His link has been updated, too. You were signed up at Gab anyway, right? You might as well, a lot of the Blogger voices are going silent.

Midwest Chick at "Non Original Rants" is getting sick of her meme posts getting vaporized, she may the the next blogger to disappear.

Yup I am being a great big dink on Blab, BP.

Blagger had me on auto-censor where I had to run all my material past the censors first or it automatically went in the trash. (Probly a good place for it, to be fair…). I was driven insane with rage and quit in disgust!

Now I am considering a life of crime as a retirement hobby. I bumped off Aesop, The Bitter Centurion and Big Country. Phil and Cederq are next on my list. I’m leaving you and ASM for last because of that damned M1 Garand of yours, HAR HAR HAR! 😂👍

I also dabble in venture crapitalism now too. My latest invention will actually make America (and Canada) great again!

I’m sure I can count on your financial support in this? 😊 I know you have lots of money…

I'm a believer in paying for the software you use. Also, if you don't, you are the product.

That said, I can't understand why anyone would have a google anything for personal use. I have this account, which is for an API for a server I support. I don't even check its mail. I also use it for an android tablet that I use for browsing sometimes. And of course, I'm forced to use it for google blogs because no way I let google touch my real world.

They clearly are cleaning house. No idea why now.

Hell, even wordpress.com isn't that bad. Sure, they whacked some sites I read, but to be fair, these dudes were a little over the top.

Good news! And he's not the only one that is moving on.

Aesop said...

Yeah, you bumped me off. The Black Knight is invincible.

Using the dreaded Russian Winter Offensive Gambit.
Worked about as well as usual.

Har Har Har.

Blogger may or may not kill my blog off some day (they seem to have killed off downloading a backup copy), but you'll have nothing to do with that either way.

Best wishes with Gab.

I saw Glen dressed like Moses wandering off onto the tundra saying "Follow me, 'Tards!..."

Yeah; he's over at Gab...

Wordpress is run by lefties, but they don't seem to bother us too much.
