Paranoia and www.writeclique.com
This regarding an incident with British Council Library in Kandy.
The center is there teaching English but Library is no more.
They (my blog pieces at www.write.clique.com) were bit humorous and the basic ingredients were satire.
Incidentally Google has gone parnoid if one writes alternative view about "Coronavirus Saga".
Unedited part is below.
Unfortunately for me, out of the top ten, my writings (I was involved in initial setup) filled the top eight and the administrator got paranoid and blocked my name.
I still continued to write (very little traffic) in spite of noticing the administrators handiwork, since my idea was not to reach the top ten.
They used my birthday as a discriminator.
Who says there is no discrimination in web hosting and social media.
But my writings were there for anybody to read in spite of blocking the rating.
I have collated them and recently deleted 75% of the original writings from that site.
Some of them are now in digital output for posterity, in a book form.
This preamble is necessary since when one opens one’s heart and not the mind in the Web, one has to be prepared for insults and discrimination.
Sadly now governments and secret agencies are doing things that one would not suspect 30 years ago.
Technocrats and not the real hard working guys who fill these posts and operating from air conditioned cubicles and are scared to be on the beat and foot.
Invariably paranoia develops.
So I think it is necessary to have a bit of paranoia when one enters the Web with email to begin with.
The instruction for good password is in another piece!
How does one have a good password?
How one can remember a password with 14 to 16 characters (what banks employ now for an
account, with the help of computers)?
To begin with one has to train the brain to remember.
I have a suggestion elsewhere (under web etiquette) that I do not want to repeat here.
