Reply #90: This could be the end...

[vard28]

... of my DU viewing (what little bit I actually still CAN see) while I'm at work. Last year I was able to navigate to any page/discussion/thread on DU's site. Sometime shortly after the end of the first quarter of this school year, the only thing I was able to read was the DU home page. Once I clicked to go to discussion forums, that nasty old school district filter stopped me in my tracks.

The reason was for, now get this... "sexual content", no matter WHAT thread I tried to read. :wtf:

After being revived from severe withdrawal symptoms, I still had the presence of mind to see what would happen if I went to similar sites but of the "other" political mindset. Gee, here's a coincidence; I had access to any and ALL pages, message boards, etc. for those sites. :grr:

A co-worker of mine (also a faithful DU member) and I think that a tech at one of our schools was pissed off that we spent our piddling half hour lunch breaks hungrily devouring the REAL news and complained to someone who had pull.

I'm going to keep my chin up and not start pouting quite yet until I see if the changes block me out completely. If it does happen, I beg all of you who will still be able to freely visit the site during the hours of 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., M-F, to have happy thoughts about those of us who can't.

I have already decided that my after work grocery stops will just have to be rescheduled to the 11:00 p.m. timeslot when the fake news is on.

Backtracking and high gas prices be damned! :rant:
