#TwitterGulag Part 4: Can you remember remember my name…

Posted on May 13, 2013 by steve

Can you remember remember my name
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown
And cold spirits of ice
All my life
I am the echo of your past

I am returning the echo of a point in time
Distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known
And laughing as the spirits appear
All your life
Shadows of another day

Deep Purple – Perfect Strangers

That didn’t take too long…

Enough of my complaining; even though I’ve been released from #TwitterGulag it seems my Twitter account is still a bit squirrely. I tried to follow a few people but it looks like my account still can’t follow anyone and I’m sitting at zero following / zero followers.

I guess it will take a while before everything is up and running properly. Anyhow, thanks for all the support with my Twitter skirmish.

Yo @twitter @support what gives? @stevemct @civilcandor @reenit are still suspended. They are not spammers! #FreeMyFriendsPls #tcot PLS RT

Thanks all! Let’s not remain Perfect Strangers.

Such a cool 80′s rock tune….

#TwitterGulag Part 3: Still waiting

Posted on May 12, 2013 by steve

“We can secure other people’s approval, if we do right and try hard; but our own is worth a hundred of it, and no way has been found out of securing that”

Mark Twain

Still no word from the Twitter overlords regarding why I’ve been suspended or how to make amends.

On a side note, I’ve traded e-mails with Robot. He informed me that Twitter never contacted him regarding his suspension, just that they reinstated his account. The ‘Bot has truly carried the banner for my cause.

#Help! @stevemct is STILL suspended for no good reason! Please release him from #twitmo @twitter @support #FreeStevemctPLS RT #tcot

— Mind-Numbed Robot (@mnrobot) May 12, 2013

Another good friend on the internet, The King, has put out a good word for me as well.

Hi ya doin’, @twitter. FYI–@stevemct is a thinking man’s gearhead with a penchant for awesome cars and patriotic politics, not a spammer.

— KingShamus-(D) (@KingShamus) May 12, 2013

Very nice. Thanks guys!

#TwitterGulag Part 2: Still no reply

“Ah,” said the jailer, “do not always brood over what is impossible, or you will be mad in a fortnight.”
― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

Here I am, 24 hours later, still banned from Twitter and not even a response from my support ticket. At least my conservative blogger’s in arms are still carrying on the fight for me.

Zilla:

#FreeSteveMCT Happy that @mnrobot is finally outta #TwitterGulag, but @stevemct remains suspended. Plz #help & RT! @twitter @support

— Zilla Stevenson (@ZillaStevenson) May 10, 2013

Phill:

@kshaidle @moonbattery1 @instapundit @twitter @support Why is our friend @stevemct still suspended? Please release him! #tcot #vrwc PLS RT

Red Seewun:

ChrisWy:

— Chris Wysocki (@WyBlog) May 10, 2013

and ‘Bot:

C’mon, @twitter @support What’s the hold-up? Please Release @stevemct from #twitmo! #Free@stevemct #FreeSteveMCT youtu.be/bxUeaeZKCsA

— Mind-Numbed Robot (@mnrobot) May 11, 2013

On the bright side, I discovered another conservative blogger @ Civil Candor who is going through the same ordeal.

#TwitterGulag: So I logged on to Twitter last night…

Posted on May 10, 2013 by steve

And was unceremoniously greeted with this:

Next, I checked my email and saw that a couple of the good guys in the conservative blog-o-sphere (and good friends of MCT) were raising the flag that lefties have declared war on the #vrwc Twitter team. Via Robot:

During the evening it also came to light that Twitter has suspended other members of our conservative band of bloggers/twitterati. My #vrwc friend @Stevemct (MotorCityTimes.com) has also been suspended and @GoldwaterGal is suspended as well. What gives, Twitter?

Another good friend in the #vrwc, Chris Wysocki of Wyblog posted a plea at his new place Pretty Fly for a Jersey Guy #FreeMindNumbedRobot, please help get @mnrobot out of #TwitterGulag. Thanks bro!

And ChrisWy is highlighting the issue @ his new website Pretty Fly for a Jersey Guy:

So please, help get the word out. RT. Repost. Bug Twitter support. Don’t let the libtards win!

UPDATE: I just heard from another #vrwc member, @stevemct. He’s suspended too! The libtards have declared war!

Thanks for helping get the word our Chris and ‘Bot.

Site Update: The 1600th MCT Post (since the site meltdown of 2010)

Posted on April 21, 2013 by steve

Site Update:

Just wanted to take the time and highlight this is the 1600th post since the great Motorcitytimes WordPress database meltdown of April, 2010.

We now return to our regular programming…

Its like Ace is reading my mind

Posted on April 11, 2013 by steve

Its like Ace is reading my mind:

But government employees –people paid by taxpayers — are now essentially branding conservative speech to be pornography.

What is so objectionable about having a former United States Congressman, Senator and Presidential candidate speak at your school that would require a permission slip?

Andy Timmons: She’s Leaving Home

Posted on March 28, 2013 by steve

A quick programming note: Posting will be light* here @ MCT over the next few days due to Easter Weekend.

Here is the great (and very underrated) Andy Timmons performing She’s Leaving Home from Andy Timmons Band Plays Sgt. Pepper CD.

*I’ll try squeezing in a post or two over the weekend- if time allows.

Christmas Music: Brian Setzer & Brad Paisley – Sleigh Ride

Posted on December 9, 2012 by steve

A quick programming note:

As in years past, I’ve been busily scouring YouTube searching out great (in my mind) Christmas music. Therefore, motorcitytimes.com is switching over to an ‘all Christmas music, all the time format.’

Kicking off the Christmas music extravaganza is a rocking version of Sleigh Ride performed by the guitar greats Brad Paisley and MCT favorite Brian Setzer….

I’ve had a lot of fun finding these videos and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

The Cult: Rain (Live- 2010)

Great tune… Turn it up!

Feeling a little under the weather today… Not sure if it’s allergies, summer cold or both. See you tomorrow.
