So when will WordPress reinstate FTSOS
-
There’s been a big hub-bub going on recently about my blog, For the Sake of Science (FTSOS). I’ve emailed WordPress several times, but they have taken to ignoring me.
Two quacks recently teamed up to get my blog suspended. The reason? I said one (Christopher Maloney) was not a doctor. (The other was just mad my post about him showed up 2nd in Google.) These two quacks convinced WordPress he was one. In reality, he isn’t. He is a specific sort of doctor (a quacking one), but not simply a doctor. That terms is legally reserved for people with qualifications.
Long story short, the blogosphere got up in arms about this for me. Simon Singh, the scientist currently facing a libel suit in England, emailed me in support after PZ Myers posted about this for me. Richard Dawkins also contacted me (and Singh). Twitter went abuzz with all this and the traffic to my other blog increased dramatically (+9,000%).
What has WordPress done in response? Nothing. I’ve sent email after email. I want some answers. I did nothing wrong. WordPress was had by a couple of quacks.
I don’t even want to keep blogging here. I’m currently searching for a site which will not cave at the hint of a lawsuit – especially when it was all just smoke, anyway. I just want my site back for two reasons: 1) Principle: Do not censor bloggers who do nothing wrong. 2) All my links back to my old articles are now broken.
