why I love writing for Metblogs, part umptymillion

by Violet Blue on November 20, 2006

Being out late saturday night did me no good and I’m on laptop bedrest, imposed by Hacker Boy, who delivered soup, Theraflu and tucked me in with the iBook before running off to hack something. Drifting on cold meds, I remembered a conversation I had with Sean a while back about our Terms Of Use at Metblogs, so I read it carefully — and it’s the best TOU in Blogistan, period. My favorite section:

“COOPERATION WITH LOCAL, STATE, AND FEDERAL AUTHORITIES
Unless you’re a total knob and Metroblogging.com feels you need to do some hard time in pound me in the ass prison, Metroblogging.com will not cooperate or provide any information to anyone, due in part to the fact that Metroblogging.com does not retain any information about it’s users. Due also in part to Metroblogging.com thinking that ‘the law’ going after someone for posting something on the internet is a hunk of crap. Metroblogging.com site administrators are also highly trained ninjas and martial artists who usually like to solve problems on their own.”
