When in the course of a writer’s development it becomes necessary for one blogger to dissolve the commercial bonds and to assume among the powers of the Web, a separate and equal domain to which the Principle of Net Neutrality and of Free Speech promise, and decent respect to the opinions of Tom requires that she should declare the causes which impel her to log off:
You have not made MySpace a hospitable creative environment for the Web Log:
Composition is too often in danger of being lost due to screen time-outs.
You have made no provision for saving drafts.
Your Advanced Editor does not support MacOS X.
Your Basic Editor does not honor the code spacing so lain as to facilitate design.
The work area is beset on all sides by advertisements so obnoxious as to break creative flow.
You have made it very difficult to share my archive with others:
You have provided no straight-forward URL to share part or all of my archive directly.
The consequent difficulty with archive reference limits my ability to share my blog with users inside and outside of MySpace.
For taking increasingly inadequate measure against the Third Party exploitation of user admin authority:
For subjecting in part or the whole of my profile to “routine maintenance” without my notice or consent:
For restricting JavaScript:
In the face of each of these Oppressions, in the absence of reasonable hope for petition, I have accommodated these shortcomings with patience and innovation.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Franchises long established to such magnificent gain should not be changed for light and transient causes. But when the long train of oversights, neglecting invariably the growth of a specific and passionate User Base evinces a design to reduce it to relative Anonymity.
Such has been the patient sufferance of the Serious Blogger; and such is now the necessity that, whenever a system becomes destructive to these ends, it is befitting to institute a new Domain, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Creative Fulfillment.
Sincerely,
