The fake Bridgit blog is no more. I’ve been informed that it was suspended for breaching Blogger’s terms of service on several counts: specifically, those relating to copyright, impersonation and hateful content. Tsk tsk.

UPDATE
The fake blog has re-emerged at Wordpress in much the same form. And within a couple of hours there’s a link to it posted you-know-where. Such is the speed you can work at when you don’t have a job…

Did someone have to write to Blogger/Google and complain, or did they just take a unilateral decision?

It looks as though it’s still there for the present. It’s descended even further into the depths of imbecility, as there’s now a certain German dictator in the blog’s banner.

Funny, it’s not accessible here. Try clicking refresh, HR.

This is the keeper page that is loading for me:

No real need for that - we already know :-)

So what happened to all of you claims not to care Bridgit?
Was that just another expedient lie?
I am having a good laugh about your antics this morning though.
Cheers

Iain, I didn’t give a toss then and I still don’t now. It wasn’t me that complained but someone else from our Iain-Hall-is-a-wanker mailing list - and since they forwarded me the e-mail from Blogger I decided to post. Frankly I was happy to let the fake blog stay as a testament both to your malicious stupidity and your indifference to work and your family.

In any case, I see you’ve set up shop at Wordpress after being booted from Blogger, so it matters little - you’re still a weirdo of cataclysmic proportions.

There is a mailing list?
LOL

There sure is. Send me your passport, your driver’s license, two credit cards and your youngest-born and you can have the password.

You lot must be really amazing, all of this effort for one humble blogger….
ROTFLMAO
Thanks for the link to the new Bridgit Gread blog I have updated my blogroll accordingly

Of course you have; cross-promotion is important!
