#WORDPRESSFAIL: WordPress Takes Down “Bare Naked Islam” Blog After Threats From CAIR.
CAIR pursues this strategy regularly. Shame on WordPress for giving in. Note to bloggers: In a free-speech controversy, you can’t count on WordPress. Act accordingly. Meanwhile, an item on CAIR’s terrorist ties. More here. And its membership is minuscule. This is who you listened to, WordPress.
ALL PEOPLE WHO CONSIDER THEMSELVES ANTI-JIHAD AND ANTI-SHARIA SHOULD BOYCOTT ALL WORDPRESS PRODUCTS.
ALL OTHER MAJOR WORDPRESS USERS SHOULD MAKE SIMILAR STATEMENTS!

Reliapundit is a jackass and obviously not very intelligent.
Wordpress.org is open source software (which Instapundit and a million other sites use), wordpress.com (where BNI was) is a blogging platform like blogspot.
Completely different.
Furthermore, open source sites are self-hosting and therefore can not in any way shape or form be deleted by wordpress.
You have any idea how many sites use the wordpress.org open source software? The only way to get yourself off of it is to build an entirely new site on a new platform, which could take weeks to months even if it's possible
As far as i understoud it's the comments on his blog that provoked the shutdown.As a blogowner we can not approve calls for hatred and violence on our blogs, we can expose hatred, violence and injustice...etc, but should never allow the same thing happening in our comments.
PS: Came across the following:
Hate Internet censorship? #Moveyourdomain to @namecheap, @NS1net or @gandibar to protest #SOPA & donate $1-$2 to @eff https://eff.org/r.N9a

NOW I WILL GET HIM TO USE OTHER SOFTWARE!
@Reliapundit .
Had a similar conversation with WZ about taking others their story without giving credit to others who had it first about a year ago.Unless you are a mayor news channel you get your stories from someone, be honest and give credit to those where you got it.
Quite often some of the stories he posts i have them earlier and i'm one man doing the research no tips from others or any other aid.
WILL:
I WANT YOU TO START POSTING HERE IN 2012.
WHERE DO I SEND THE INVITE?
BNI is back..... sort of, they want him gone by the 6Th of Jan
http://barenakedislam.wordpress.com/2011/12/30/bare-naked-islam-is-back-sort-of/
will, thanks for the reply.
you could just post one sentence with a link back to your blog.
whatever...
New post from Instapundit tonight (12-30-11) on Wordpress/Barenaked Islam–
A WORDPRESS / BARENAKED ISLAM UPDATE: The PR folks for WordPress sent me a copy of the email that Matt Mullenweg sent the BareNaked Islam bloggers:
After reviewing this case I’ve turned your site back on. Even though this is the third Term of Service issue with your blog, you should have been contacted before your site was suspended by our Terms of Service team.
That said, publishing IP and email addresses of commenters with the invitation to harass them is a violation of our terms of service and your site harbors numerous examples that violate our ToS rule “does not contain threats or incite violence towards individuals or entities.”
Given that this has been an ongoing issue I think you should find alternative hosting. I realize that it is the holidays and happy to give you until Jan 6 to do so. You can use the “offsite redirect” upgrade to ensure all of your links continue to work and your visitors get redirected.
Finally although there was a press release from CAIR claiming to have been behind this I haven’t heard of them until today and as far as we can tell none of the ToS reports that caused the blog to be reviewed were from anyone involved with that organization. WordPress.com does not suspend blogs at the request of individuals or organizations, only for violations of our Terms of Service.
This sounds right. Is publishing commenters’ information wrong? Yes, unless the commenters have been threatening or abusive, in which case I think it’s fine. Were they? I don’t know — because when I went to the site it had been taken down. Anyway, WordPress seems to have done the right thing.

FROM A COMMENT THREAD AT WEASEL ZIPPERS - FOR A POST IN WHICH ZIP SAYS HE WILL VOTE FOR ROMNEY IF HE IS THE NOMINEE:
Keith Garner says:

If Romney is the best the Republicans have to offer, it’s time to boycott them. He does not deserve an honest man’s vote. Nothing will change in this country until all the government subsidized leftists have their taxpaYer funds cut off. This will not happen with Romney.
chuck in st paul says:
October 21, 2011 at 3:20 pm
Not only “no”, but “HELL NO!”
I am not pulling the lever for another Dhimmeroid Lite. Not again. I’d just stay home this time. If this country cannot cough up a decent conservative candidate then it’s time to retire my vote and let all y’all got to hell in your chosen way. I and my buddies did not serve this country so we could choose between bad and worse.
Jd says:

sorry, but I voted for the establishment choice in 2008. I will vote for any other of the candidates, I will vote for everybody else on the ticket, but I will not vote for Romney.

Nope. My vote will not matter here in commie CT no matter who is on the ballot so save the vitriol. I will no longer be part of the problem. What chuck in st paul said, we get what we deserve if Mitt is the best we can do.

I am an Indy, after being through with the Dim. party. I cannot vote for Romney. I will just not mark the Prez. part of the ballot.
Romney for me is a shapeshifter flip flopper. Worse, he is unlikeable. He is not a choice vs Obama. They both produce in me the same visceral reaction.
Both are arrogant poseurs.
I would vote for Cain and Perry

I am a conservative. I do not vote for liberals, no matter the circumstance or the party.
The ONLY reason to vote for the GOP is that they are different than the Democrats. If they are no different, then there is no reason to vote for the GOP, and if there is no reason to vote for the GOP, then we cannot elect anyone.
Our only electoral weapon, both short and long term, is our distinctiveness.
Would you give away your only weapon for the promise of victory?

@vagabond
If Romney is nominated, your choice is to stay home or hold your nose and vote for a liberal.
Romney will not win the general election under any circumstances, so you may as well take a principled stand.
many of the assholes who read your blog might very well help elect obama.
great.
you swipe military videos and repost them as war porn.
you swipe military slide shows.
you swipe blogposts.
you're a scumbag whoi swipes.
a thief.
I agree. I linked it so folks could read the email. Wordpress caved to CAIR, no doubt.
