Submission + - David Brin's blog blacklisted? (blogspot.com)
RockyPersaud writes: "Science fiction author and self-described contrarian David Brin says his blog has been blacklisted by the U.S. government. He says: "One of our beleaguered senior federal professionals — who happens to be a fan — wrote in: "One of my employees tried to check out your blog on his government computer. Red flags went off declaring your site 'contains inappropriate material.'"" He further says: "My "inappropriate" sin. Pointing out that our professionals — both in and out of government — have been the top victims of the neoconservative putsch. I have praised the skilled men and women who dedicate their lives to public service, and made it clear — in bold but meticulously legal terms — that they do not have to put up with being bullied by incompetent, dogmatic hacks, who have oppressed them in a concerted campaign of intimidation, ever since the Bush Administration began.""
