Lens Experiment Notes

FUCK Facebook !@#%!@# I'VE HAD IT WITH THE CENSORSHIP NAZIS

I AM SO PEEVED with Facebook. WHO the FUCK DO THEY THINK THEY ARE to say that posting in an appropriate group is 'abuse'.

I tried posting a link to my latest lens in the squidoo groups on Facebook and after several clicks of trying [because Facebook REFUSED], this DESPICABLE piece of SHIT message popped up:

I clicked on the FAQ page and some more BULLSHIT:

Totally ridiculous this "Before you were blocked, you were given a warning to slow down your use of this feature."

There was NO warning. NO NOTHING! I don't use Facebook everyday. The last time I tried posting in squidoo groups on Facebook [which was a couple of weeks ago], I had the same trouble after posting in two groups. But no "block" message came up at the time.

Spammers can spam your inbox on Facebook and Facebook has NO problem with that. But YET when I post a link to my latest lens in the APPROPRIATE groups on Facebook, Facebook has a PROBLEM with that.

PISS OFF to OBLIVION Facebook. I am sick to death of censorship nazis in general that I could scream at the top of my god damn lungs.

Squidsgiving

My 6th lens. Looks like I will have to pull all nighters to have 50 lenses by the end of december.

Meanwhile....

The madness continues with Squid Angels buzzing in secret

Too many lensmasters have been riled up over my Change We Can Believe In lens. It even ruffled the feathers of Squid Angels. Earlier in the day, I had started seeing this website: squidoocommunity.projectpath.com pop up in the stats on my lens. I had no idea at the time what it was, other than it is password protected. I had posted about it on SquidU and received a response of how it's the Squid Angels forum.

Also at the time, I did not know that squidoocommunity.projectpath.com was also showing up on the stats on my blog, as I did not log in my blog panel up until a couple of hours ago. So what were the Squid Angels doing, besides reading all of my blog posts? Did they find themselves amused? Or were they cursing me behind the closed doors, vowing to ding my lenses? Either way, one of them must have decided to email Charlie, just so Charlie comes charging with more attacks.

This was found on twitter:

This was found on the delicious social bookmarking site:

I had added my link to lenses [that have a guestbook to leave a comment in] that were either "anti" obama or lenses that questioned obama's motives. I even had the nerve to leave my link on lenses that worship obama as "the messiah", but I only did it to a few, as there is nearly a thousand pro obama lenses on Squidoo.

Charlie better hope that no potential employer comes across this. I know if I was an employer, I would not hire someone that had a pole up their ass. Employees is what makes a company. If you have a sour employee, it's a reflection on the company.

On a brighter note, My Ebid Showcase Lens and my Halloween Squidoodles Lens are getting some traffic from google. I still can't believe my Halloween Squidoodle Lens is still my highest ranking lens. Halloween is so over. I don't know if I will have any Thanksgiving squidoodles. I still have not gotten my dsl turned back on and doing anything with graphics on dial up has been nothing but a royal pain and a huge hinderance.

The madness continues.....

[update 4:00 am]

Good thing I take screenshots at the time when I find things, as this was modified an hour or two ago:

Like I said, if I was an employer, I would not hire someone that had such an attitude like that.

Attacks fly, but not in the way I would have suspected

It's not even 24 hours yet and already my latest lens [my 5th one] is getting flagged. All my other lenses have been flagged too because of it. I don't know how many flags it takes to have an account locked or how many it takes to get a lensmaster banned from Squidoo. I guess I'm about to find out.

I do have to wonder though, if the flags are coming from those who left my fan club. Those who left my fan club were giant lensmasters [and possibly suspected squid angels]. I say this because the number of flags on my other lenses matches the number of those who left my fan club. I did warn on my squidcast yesterday that my lens would cause an uproar.

I normally don't approve horrible comments on my lenses. But I think I will allow them. Gotta love some of these attacks:

Some of you might be surprised by his lensmaster page. I've made notes of names [and yes I know who left my fan club] incase if anything should come up in the future.

4 lenses draw over 50 fans....

But will those fans stay after my 5th lens I created today:

As far as I'm concerned, America is no more. The people of this country decided money is more important than upholding the constitution.

I'm glad I don't have a tv habit. I will tweak my lenses when I can. One day I won't be creating lenses anymore because I'll be out of here before death and destruction befalls this world.

This is why my guestbooks are restricted

This is why I have my guestbooks set to be notified of when someone makes a comment. This was not on my Squidoo lens, but on one of the other Squidoo graphic designer lenses. Here is the screenshot. Be advised of the horrible language used:

I had notified the lensmaster, as I'm sure he wasn't aware of his lens being vandalized. I'm surprised that more lensmasters don't have guestbooks restricted.

I know Squidoo has been cracking down on spammers and scam artists. But now they have to add harassers to the pile too. I know at this time that you can't see the ip number of the comment user. Squidoo needs to change that. Vile verbal words is considered abuse, harassment and even stems on the line of stalking if it's repeated. Abuse needs to be nipped in the bud because if it's not, abuse turns into violence.

My Ebid Showcase Lens

My 4th lens:

I might be off the net for awhile. My phone service provider is acting like a bunch of pricks. I really and truly wish there was another provider available in this area and not a monopoly. Monopoly corporations are NOT a good thing. Monopolies hurt consumers.

And moving along slowly

The soonest I'll have DSL again will be about 3 weeks. I would have had DSL at the end of this week had it not been for having to pay rent coming up in a few days.

So any new lenses I put up during this time will not be ones that are graphic intense. My patience is too short to load any page that has more than two graphics on it on dial up. My next lens will be an ebid lens. A shameless self promotion of items in my ebid store. I don't care what anyone thinks. The right buyer[s] have not come along yet and I want my stuff sold.

I am working on various holiday squidoodles. I don't know how many thanksgiving squidoodles I'll have. Eventually I'll be putting squidoodles on t-shirts, mugs, etc. I don't know how many people would be interested in buying them though.

Currently fed up with the bastards in this life

I lost my DSL the day after I had put up my Halloween Squidoodles lens. My DSL account was closed without warning. That's right. No disconnection notice in the mail. Nothing.

So I have be contending with my AOL dial up account that I'm glad I kept all these years. So until I can get DSL again, I won't be putting up new lenses. That might not be for a couple of weeks, as I cannot make ends meet. You know that you're pinching pennies big time when you're being forced to choose which bills to pay first, second, third, etc. I really wish that all the stuff in my ebid store would just sell. It would at least give me some time to get other things going. I hope to eventually make some sort of living [even if it's part time] off my lenses.

It doesn't hurt to hope does it?
