If You Post On The Internet And Feel You Have Been Unfairly Blocked

I have been posting comments, reviews and opinions on major Internet sites since 2005 after which I formed my widely spread Internet writing company, Freelance Writing. I frequently notice complaints from fellow citizen journalists surrounding their posts never making it to the website. Personally, as I cover music, stocks, product reviews and politics I can honestly say that over the last few years that I have worked as a professional freelance writer and Internet vendor, I have been blocked perhaps a dozen times but limited to the political segment of my business. At my age and station in life it is absolutely and fundamentally impossible that I have or will violate the terms and conditions of any site. My commentary is unusual because I am essentially a creative and satirical writer sometimes when I feel that tongue in cheek is necessary, especially in the political arena. It is my concern that I am blocked at times solely because of literary style. My advise to individuals who are being overly blocked is to walk away and find another site that is more accepting of your talents. I have been blocked on sites where a celebrity is on top and I know that these performers are not sitting at a computer doing the dirty work. I just would rather not spend the time writing a comment and then not being advised that it was unacceptable by the hand of some college student who reviews my copy in seconds and then decides that "It is not right for the site". Web owners must realize that competent bloggers who are the foot soldiers who spruce up sites, following protocol but fall through as a result of whimsical determinations add up to a big negative for the site owners who are left with the purveyors of insults and minimized education.
