playing to expectations
Thanks very much to Justin for sending this along. Apparently Panera's content filter is blocking this site:
Hmm. I don't think this site is filled with violent, racist hate speech (unless "Food Network Chefs" now count as an ethnic group). But I suppose I'm not the one who gets to make that call.
I guess I should be somewhat diplomatic, since I'm now patiently waiting for SonicWall to review our case. So I'll put it as gently as I can: SonicWall appears to be run by a bunch of goddamn morons. What'd you guys do, put "hate" into Google and ban all the sites that came up? If you're intent on being in the business of facilitating societal prudishness — surely a noble calling! — you ought to at least figure out how to do it properly, you miserably incompetent fuckwits.

SonicWALL is awful.

Tear down this wall!
Does writing them really work? There's at least one censorware firm that thinks that my site is for p0rno.
beats me. but they at least provide a link, a form and some copy indicating that they have a review process. their categories are pretty miserable, though -- there's really nothing that encompasses blogs properly. I suggested that they put us under "arts and lifestyles", I think.
I hate those guys. They were convinced that Metroblogging DC was porn for the longest time. Took us weeks to get that fixed. Good luck.
finally, someone is callling this site's authors on their racist banter.
