20 Questions

When I started this blog, I did so anonymously because I was still a federal employee. I didn’t want any perceived conflicts or insinuations that might cause problems. So there was a bit of a mysterious nature to the posts, though, not too many people really cared.
But in August 2008, one of my articles went national and there came the question “Who is the Garnet Spy?” I’ve since answered that basic question, but there is more – oh, so much more. « Read the rest of this entry »

Crazy man is crazy
We’re of the opinion that The Garnet Spy is stone-cold bat**** ****ing crazy. Really, we disagree with people, and absolutely despise others, but it takes a whole different class of person to rise to the level of becoming padded-room eligible.
The man actually thinks his Google and Twitter accounts were hacked because his political beliefs.
So, I post several controversial posts about politics in South Carolina and, coincidentally, almost immediately my Twitter account starts sending out spam Direct Messages and my Gmail account has been disabled.
According to Google, “In most cases, accounts are disabled because of a perceived violation of either the Google Terms of Service or product-specific Terms of Service.“
Nothing I’ve done with Gmail violates any terms of service, but I have gotten some “failure to deliver” messages for emails I never sent to people I don’t know.
Ain’t that the oddest thing?
Good lord. If our crap got hacked, we wouldn’t think it had anything to do with the blog, and we have people actually investigating us (Hi McLovin’!). Dude, YOU’RE NOT THAT IMPORTANT.
I want thank Wes for giving my blog some extra viewers. I’m sure his gets more readers than the 6 I get: Me, one of my two sons, someone in Lactose, Wisconsin and my three alter egos – Winston (a ne’er-do-well aristocrat), Satch (a deaf blues musician) and Cuddles (a stuffed wildebeest).
And… I KNOW I’m not that important, but, Wes – MADE YA LOOK!
