About Those Red Warnings

Oh look, I got a corporate non-response and washing of the hands over global giant Microsoft warning potential visitors against proceeding to this blog:

It's more than annoying -- noting that the reason given in Microsoft SmartScreen FAQs for the warning is an assessment of fraud or malicious software, and that such decisions to so characterize a website are made by employees/agents of Microsoft, it may even be libelous.

No, I'm not going to go to Bing.com and ask a general question of those with no skin in the game -- I'm looking into other options if this issue persists. So far, thankfully, most who contacted me on this say they're getting through OK. That said, this needs to be nipped in the bud NOW, lest all it takes is for some anti troll snitch to make an anonymous "report" and shut down alternative media.

Hopefully, you might have nipped it in the bud. I haven't had the problem since yesterday.

And speaking of a possible 'snitch(es)', I am reminded of the 9 complaints the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training received in regards to Grant County Constitutional Sheriff Glenn Palmer.

These people are capable of anything.

The crap English in the response indicates that you reached “Microsoft” in name only. It was obviously penned by some outsourced third-world drone who has been taught how to handle password problems and absolutely nothing else.
