Blog DISCLAIMERS

Please be advised that this written work is theory. It's theorizing, pondering and amateur research. For legal reasons I state that I have no actual belief in these theories as fact, if I did I would have sought legal recourse. Until that occurs this blog can only be considered theory. If it does then any and all actions PAST AND FUTURE that have been taken against me during the years producing this work will be labeled war crimes under international law and any other legal protections that apply.
I am a writer, an activist and artist. I claim my RIGHT TO EXIST legally under US Constitution and international law.

This is an educational blog for awareness as well as sometimes a telling of candid personal experiences to demonstrate theories as they might be experienced by a person who theoretically is existing under such conditions. Thus the 'candid' expression, poetic license and marketing myself as product or character. This is NOT a journal or diary.
Being a reasonable person of sound mind if I had concerns for my safety or others I would take responsible action for self care as my established medical history can demonstrate.
Any actions taken against me by others questioning my sanity or competence based on my produced work will be construed as activist/dissident intimidation and whistle blower retaliation and proper legal action will be taken against you by my family and support system.

Be warned that no further interference with my production of meaningful work as an artist and activist will be tolerated.

Here is my letter to them through the contact link. Calling them resulted in them telling me to use the website:
"name
phone num used for acct
email address
retype email address
your location
subject blocked from posting
describe the issue
(please provide post ID numbers,
error messages, etc) you are still blocking my posts. I only want to sell electronic equipment that is too heavy for my back pack. There is no reason to block the ads. The ad only says that I want to sell a dvd player. My other ad is looking for housing for myself and a fellow traveler. I could post last month but I am now blocked no matter what I do and none of the possible reasons apply to me. Why is it that I seem blocked every since the adult ban went into effect. If you can link my ad to adult services then you would be in the right however my ad has never been linked to adult services. Unless you give a good reason
for the ban then its got to be a great coincidence and I dont like what its intimating. Make it so I can post or provide a good reason
why I am not allowed to post on Criagslist."

-----------------------------------------------
The other post I tried to put up simply is looking for housing for myself and a fellow traveler. The posts I had up to sell an inverter last month were not interferred with at all. This has been occuring this month but I didnt use my account until this week so I dont know when exactly it started. The timing is very suspect. There is no reason that every ad I try to post up as of this month gets this error message. None of it applies. Its harassment plain and simple unless they have a different rationale.

I have only posted ads for housing in CA and selling a few electonics items to lighten my back pack here in MA.

Craigslist pulled the same thing more overtly (without an error message) in 2006 preventing me from posting any ads for roomates no matter how I tried. It was overt tech interference with no error messages for an excuse.

(the electronics in question was kind of a gift. Before anyone gets offended you have to understand Ihavent had money for food, laundry or gear for past 2 weeks. My SD card is finally worn out and broke so I cant film or edit whats on the damaged card. This money would have been very useful.)
