Because Some Things Are Unmentionable - Evidently

About an hour ago when checking my Google Analytics for AdSense I suddenly noticed that barfstew.blogspot.com had gotten traffic...... then, I dug into my blogger dashboard.... and lo and behold.... I didn't have a (1) next to the word DELETED for the 38 blogs that I put some effort into (most are very occasional UFO blogs by state).... suddenly, despite at least 9 appeals that BarfStew was NOT SPAM -- The BS was BACK. 

Goggle didn't even follow their own procedure and inform me via my chosen E-Mail - and instead, sent it to my G-Mail address (which I never check) the e-mail said.

http://barfstew.blogspot.com/ has been reinstated

Hello, We have received your appeal regarding your blog http://barfstew.blogspot.com/. Upon further review we have determined that your blog was mistakenly marked as a TOS violator by our automated system and, as such, we have reinstated your blog. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused in the meantime and thank you for your patience as we completed our review process. Thank you for understanding. Sincerely, The Blogger Team

Now, in addition to appealing about 9 times for re-instatement, I have been trying to re-construct  the best of The BS via Archive.Org - The Internet Archive. (A Wonderful Website.) Indeed, the website exists with 1 post that is up and had already 28 CLASSIC posts in reserve -- and I hadn't even tapped 2012 and 2013 content.

Now, as I said, I was reconstructing and have ONE post that talks about my feelings about having a blog shut down for what appeared to be an over anxious big brother. Anyway, that was going to be the FIRST return post - it wasn't even finished yet ..... but, I am going to link to it today here - that blog is called THE Barfstew and the post called The Return Of Barfstew.

Now, I already had 3 posts ready to go here back in November - I will look those over for appropriateness and be posting.... I have TONS of great links that have went unposted over the last nearly 4 months of being banned. Some of those will make these pages but The BS will indeed try to make the transition back to current BS as time evolves (after all - what about the 28 unpublished Classics? That I've already spent hours collecting.)

Oh, THE Barfstew had a new slogan - `Because Some Things Are Unmentionable' - in response to having The BS banned. Silenced. And holding no cards at all, let alone the Google trump. And, at the post I've linked to - you will find the ways that The BS may simply walk that fine line of being banned at any moment - as I review the `rules' that any normal BS post may have violated.

So, for today - The BS has returned - please visit the ONE link above to understand more about having a blog banned for nefarious reasons IMO. Oh, and thanks for being a Barfster.
