This morning I discovered that my travel blog account on RTA had been altered to require a password to those whom wish to view it. Puzzled as to how such a thing could have occured, I went in and changed it back & not long after received this email:

Hi Pamela,

Your site has been flagged by our system for review due to its content & language. After reviewing your site, we feel that it would be best to password protect your site as it is in breach of our terms and conditions. Putting a password on your site will stop any public access and only those with your password will be able to view it. I have set a password on your site being :

temp1234

You can change this password at any time by logging into your Update Center and click on Journal Options. Change your password there and save. You can email your password out to friends who you would like to view the site. We appreciate your understanding.

If you have any further questions please feel free to email me.
Happy travels,

I find this appalling, given that my content is relatively mild compared to the veritable boatloads of crap we all must wade through regularly when we venture out into the Tubes of the Internets, which we all know by now are serious fucking business. But whatever. Their website sucks anyway.
Where my motherfuckin' first amendment rights be at? And not one word out of you, Theodore...we've been over this.
