Reminds me of Singapore. Here you can access all those hard-core websites but playboy.com is banned. Pure comedy.

I always appreciate your posts wherever I find them and just assumed you were busy if you have not been posting here lately. I have never had a problem accessing any websites here in Japan.

#27 - Actually, it’s been down at KT for months now, although some recent update from the MoC was causing it to get far worse since about 2 weeks ago. And I didn’t “try to suggest” anything, and in fact stated from the beginning that my main theory was that it had just been blocked in a swathe of blogs.com sites. And yes, blogs have been blocked by the Korean government before, and given the trouble I’ve had with some readers, the thought crossed my mind. So? Does that give me a martyr complex in your eyes? Whatever.

And if you read around the expat blogosphere and here, you’d see that people have been asking about it. Given that I am a guest blogger here and my own blog was down for MONTHS until, coincidentally the very day I posted here, it seems that in fact, posting might have been a good idea.

And since, whether you like it or not, I do have readers to whom I’d like to get information out to, and many of them are also Marmot readers, I felt like this was a reasonable and effective way to do so.

If you don’t read or like my blog, then fine. Move on. As for #28, I don’t post here anymore, since my posts aren’t wanted here. If you were an observant reader, you’d know my last post was months ago. “If that blog is down, he posts here.” Nope - just factually untrue. In fact, I generally only posted SeoulGlow eps, generally, and don’t waste Marmot readers’ time about my blog issues.

I respect this blog’s readers, and even the fact that my posts aren’t welcome here. So I don’t, in general, post. However, since it was a good way to reach a lot of my readers, I sent out an update. So sue me. Or don’t come to my blog. In the end, it doesn’t matter to me.

But don’t act like I’m running ramshod over the Marmot’s community by making vanity posts and other stuff in the face of what people here want to see. You can count the number of total posts I’ve made here on one hand, and most of those were made before mid-2007. Just to set the record straight.

#27, Exactly wrong. If that blog is down, he posts here.

I can’t belive you just tried to suggest the Korean govt. was attempting to block your site because it was down for a day.
You got my hopes up.

No problems accessing it from my home(Powercomm).

Well, it IS being blocked for a reason, ya know. Hehe. Of course it’s NSFW!

I was kind of assuming that it was one of those wacky pro-NORK sites that claim that Kim Jong-Il killed a hundred Japanese soldiers in Manchuria (when he was just a baby) by swinging his pecker at them… Stuff like that. But noo… Instead of hilarity, we get smut. Dirty, dirty, wjk-style smut.

Hmm! Interesting. Something must have helped this move along – I didn’t feel like it was the additional phone call I had today…perhaps one or a few calls were made? Perhaps they got wind of this post? Perhaps they just solved the problem finally today? A big coincidence, methinks, or somehow, some way, this post may have actually done something. Who knows?

If no one’s having any problems anymore, then kudos for KT customer service!

It must’ve been your participation in the YouTube Korea launch or the “youtube fighting” exclamations by those you filmed.

Thankfully plenty of pr0n still available. Change the domain name to PeggysBukkakeCove.com and it’ll be accessible lickity split.
