WHY WERE ALL MY BLOGS REMOVED?

I've had to re-register to make this one blog entry, but it will be the only one here on Thoughts.com as I've had all my other blogs and my previous account removed without notice!

I did think that Thoughts.com was unique, different from the other blog sites, but I was mistaken. Perhaps my rantings over the problems alot of people are having with ebay went too far and someone (probably from ebay) complained / threatened legal action and Thoughts.com caved in.

Shame

After all, they were only my own personal thoughts, which I thought this place was for, hence the name "Thoughts".com. Is free speech not allowed here?

Luckily, I've saved all my blogs, so I can post them elsewhere. I would've liked to keep them here, but it seems you can't say what you think in this place.

Post them here again. When something happens once it could be an accident. If it happens twice, then its enemy action. I am thinking of using EBay if you have a problem with them i would like to know about it.

Better still, I think I'll try another blog site. If they get removed from there, then I'll know for sure I'm stepping on someone's toes - LOL!

No, actually, you might be right penumbra88, if it does happen again then I'll know for sure :)

Do not post false and misleading information like that mrebayer2

Your account was closed because you were spamming thoughts.com with commercial posts to eBay over and over again

This is SPAM and not allowed on thoughts.com

Please reference our terms and conditions for more information:
http://www.thoughts.com/site/terms_of_use

Thoughts.com is a community blogging site for people to share their thoughts. Not for posting commercial links. There are plenty of spam forums where you can do that. Thoughts is not one of them

That accusation is misleading in itself! The last place I would ever promote is ebay. To say that I did that over and over again is a gross exageration. I linked to one ebay shop, which was owned by someone I disagree with to show how vulnerable even they were. I also linked to their website which they talk about ebay. This is not "over and over again" as you put it.

Never accuse me of being a spammer!

Now, I'll repost the blogs I did, and to be fair, I'll take out the link to that user's ebay shop. But I challenge you to point out where these other commercial links are that you claim I used.

Guy, you came and sat at a table to play a game of poker. You were more than welcome but you need to play by the rules of the table. If those rules say no links, no links

I did feel that I'd used those links within context, and there were only a couple of them, not numerous times as was suggested :(

What was ironic about the entire account being removed was that it was like using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut, and strangely the main subject of my posts is about an internet company that does exactly the same thing! - LOL

A simple message to point out what I'd done in that specific post would've been less draconian.

Hey, question. How did you save copies of your blogs? I'd love to keep mine and I hear that they are deleted after a couple of months on this site...that would be a shame! Thankx in advance.

I just copy and paste them into a wordpad document, which has the posting date as it's filename :)
