Letter from GM Kevin Spraggett
Hi Michael
You can post this on your blog if you want....
Yesterday blogger closed down my popular blog for reasons that Blogger
itself knows. I was informed only after the fact that my blog
contained ''malicious javascript'' and that the powers that be deemed
this sufficient cause to close a blog that had millions of pageviews
over the past 4 years.
Ofcourse, Blogger can do as it wishes.
No doubt complaints about the often controversial political commentary
must be factored into the equation. As must the fact that my blog is
NOT for children, but aimed precisely towards a very much neglected
segment of our population: adults. However, as I have said time and
again, anyone who wishes to challenge my opinions or actions is free to
do so in a court of law...My blog has always operated within the policy
guideline of Blogger as well as legal principles concerning freedom of
expression.
In any case, this is all a small issue, as I have been planning to move
my blog over to Tumblr or/and Wordpress. Yesterday's action only speeds
it up. My popular blog ''Spraggett on Chess'' will start up tonight or
tomorrow. 100% of the Blogger content will also follow in the coming
days. I have no doubt that my tens of thousands of blog readers will
continue to receive the same high quality content and service. And I
can asure you that my political commentary will continue to be as much a
thorn in the side of some inside our chess community.
My new blog would have already been up and running today, except that
today is the final day for me to submit my tax returns here in Portugal,
and this takes priority. Yesterday's action by Blogger is just a minor
affair...
best regards
Kevin Spraggett.
