Reason and rationality have prevailed and I am back in business. For those out there who have no idea what’s going on, read the past several days at Without Apology.
Update: I’ve since uploaded all posts here as well.

For the Sake of Science is back up and running. It only took a half dozen emails from me, directly contacting the big honcho, and the Internet going nutso, but I’m back in business.
May the Streisand Effect be with you all.

Matt Mullenweg is the head honcho for WordPress. He wrote this in 2007.
There’s been quite a discussion going on in my personal blog about the fact that all of WordPress.com has been blocked by Turkey.
Lots of people, including us, are confused and indignant about this wholesale censorship. Last night we received a letter from the person claiming to be responsible for the block, which in the interest of the community I’m going to publish in its entirety here:
In an updated post, he wrote this.
As far as I know, we never received any notice from Turkish courts about anything, only barely coherent threats and bully-attempts written much like the above.
Barely coherent? Sounds like Andreas Moritz.
There’s no way Mullenweg can’t see the irony in all this. My blog gets censored and he’s a-okay with it all. Yet when he is censored, there’s outrage. Just outrage! How dare someone make incoherent, baseless legal threats to get something censored!
Email Mullenweg. Leave messages on his Facebook fan page. Make sure this guy knows what happened. Let him know two quacks lied to his organization to get someone unfairly censored.

WordPress is an excellent example of cowardice. As such, it has become impossible for me to continue to use its low-quality services. (The people running this joke haven’t even the courage or decency to muster a response to all my emails. And this is all after “Mark” stopped the discussion short, failing to explain his position adequately. Of course, everyone here knows why he did that.)
I am running into one problem, however. Not only is WordPress poorly run on the administrative end, but their technical end is just as bad. As such, the export of this blog is not compatible with most other sites. Specifically, I want to use Blogger, but it does not allow WordPress files. I tried this site, but it failed because it has a limit of 1MB and my file is closer to 5MB. Are there any suggestions?

There’s no way to tell if my emails are getting through to WordPress. They may be going to one guy who is just deleting them for all I know. (I’ve sent several with no response.) But you can help. Yes, you! Email WordPress and let them know the ruckus they’ve caused – and why they’re wrong.

WordPress has suspended Without Apology’s sister blog, For the Sake of Science (FTSOS). The reason, apparently, is that they asked me to edit content, which I did, but apparently I didn’t do it to their liking. I have imported all the content here for now (as well as plainly on my desktop because, God damn it, that was a scare to potentially lose so many months of work) and I have put all questioned posts (which are about naturopathy) under private until the issue is resolved. In all likelihood I will be taking my blog and its 100,000 hits elsewhere very shortly.

For the Sake of Science has been temporarily suspended. I will have a new site up and running shortly, hopefully with all the old content available. Meanwhile, I am attempting to get WordPress to correct their mistake.

The January-February edition of Without Apology has finally arrived.
Big thanks to those who contributed. I got two articles from Kaytlyn Gillis and one article from Matthew Doyon. I also had a few photo contributions from Michael Amalfitano. Do check out his work as it is quite good.
I’m sure few have really picked up on it, but I have changed the way I’m going to date the papers. I used to just put the month of publication (i.e., “November 2009”), but I’ve found I tend to get all the copies near the end of the month, so things look outdated pretty quickly. I’ve remedied that by hyphenating things just as I’ve done for the title of this post.
As always, there are some minor issues with the physical copy of the paper. One article had its first couple paragraphs on the front page, but when one turns to where it is continued on page 3, the entire article appears – those first couple paragraphs and all. This isn’t as bad as the first issue where half of an article didn’t appear at all since the reader can at least get the entirety of what was written this time, but it’s still a bit annoying.
There are also a couple minor typos on my part. They both showed up in the Little Spencer article. The worst part is that they are on “too” (spelled “to”) and “it’s” (spelled “its”), two of the words I really hate to see misspelled. Well, so it goes.
Again, a big thanks to Katy, Matt, and Michael for contributing. I hope to have more from you all for the February-March edition.

The November edition is here. It can be found scattered throughout the UMA campus and in the hands of anyone who wants to read something intelligent.
As seems to be par for the course, it is not without errors. The previous edition had an unfortunate number of typos. This one does not have that problem (as so far noticed), though one article (Arguing From Consequence) did have one of those weird errors where certain characters are changed to seemingly random code. It looks like it is an isolated incident only affecting a few commas, however.
On page 4 at the bottom middle is an attempt to list the email address for contacting Without Apology. It seems to have been cut off. The address is withoutapologyinmaine@gmail.com.
Enjoy this month’s edition.
