Ace of Spades HQ Censored By Another Stupid-Ass Screening Program

Adult/mature content? Sirs, there's nothing adult or mature about boobie and poopie jokes.

An ill wind of repression is chilling my right to dissent.

I hate to cry "political bigotry" at the drop of a hat -- no, wait, I don't mind that at all -- but I'm quite sure there are an awful lot of leftwing sites more casual with the boobies and f-word than this one and they're not being blocked.

Thanks to the vacationing but still active My Pet Jawa.

Oh no! If this service is filtering you, my own company's service is sure to follow.

Right-wide conservative bloggery is all I think about!
Except when I'm at the track; then it's all business.

The F-word, yes. Boobies, no. Lefties don't like them.

Just a guess, but it could be all the references to 'cocksucking', 'squeekholes', 'whores', 'cunts', 'dicks' etc...

But you weren't seriously wondering why your site would be blocked, were you?

I liked this Kosmonaut's comment:

"If you want to do something useful, go help take over your local Democratic Party and start recruiting candidates. Start forming suicide squads to harrass and expose and impede and bring down Republicans. "

Must be with the bomb vest wing of the left. I guess you can find "diversity" anywhere...

Incidentally Ace, while Websense identifies ace.mu.nu as a "Political Organization" which will inconvenience/block many, there's a quite effective work around (which only seems to work for your site). If you use www.ace.mu.nu (instead of the www-free version) it slides right past Websense.

Actually I am pretty sure it was because of that hot 3 way prison sex thing the guys kept talking about before.

Careful there RWS! You're going to stir up the ones with an Oedipus complex! And you know Ace is into being spanked.

My company blocked certain sites this week. Ace was one of them because of its "weighted phrases." A good work around is to subscribe through RSS. Then only the occasional post is blocked. I figured this out yesterday and am now back in Ace Heaven!

No surprise here, but You are completely unblocked and fancy free on Air Force networks.
Just so you know ;)
