Blog on Temporary Hiatus


Due to serious technical issues Heretic, Rebel a Thing to Flout will be on temporary hiatus for—I hope—a short time.  I was locked out of Facebook, the primary means I have for promoting the blog and connecting with readers through post links on my Timeline and in several interest groups.  Not only am I locked out, but Facebook security has completely removed my account including removing every post I have made in the last 16 years, my nearly 1,500 friends list, access to pages and groups to which I administer, and hundreds of photos.

In case I cannot get my original account restored, I have created a new account.  Please accept new friend requests from me and send me a friend request if you don’t get one.  Also if you are a member of any of the groups I regularly post to, please link to this blog. try and add me as a member if you are able


New Facebook security measures are a nightmare.  I spent all day yesterday trying every FB suggestion to re-authorize my account multiple times and the Lords of the Metaverse offer no way to speak to a human for help.  I am not the only person who has been affected by this—I know of others, especially the marginally tech savvy and elderly who have also fallen victim.

Hey, We’re on Technical Hiatus!




Pardon our dust!  The vast technological resources that keep Heretic, Rebel, a Thing to Flout plopping on your metaphysical doorstep every morning are undergoing a major upgrade.  In other words, the squirrel that powered the Paleolithic desk top on which the magic has been created pulled up lame and is being sent into retirement in Bismarck, North Dakota where there is an abundance of elderly lady squirrels to admire his nuts.

A sleek new laptop is being prepared as I bang out this one last entry..  Teams of union elves are installing programs, ironing out bugs, and transferring files and data as we speak.  As official Blowhard in Chief I am exhausting myself supervising their efforts and finding creative was to curse in three languages of Middle Earth.

So the blog is officially on hiatus until the new equipment is up and purring on my desk.

We should be back in full operation in time to bloviate on the result of the election.

‘Till then, talk amongst yourselves.
