And Hacked Again...
An hour or so ago, I reposted the three articles at my Homeschoolblogger page that the hacker had deleted.
As I finished reposting the third one, a comment appeared, from "anonymous", saying,
"So you were hacked, and only three articles were removed. Why didn't the hacker delete the whole thing? Do the three articles have anything in common? Does that tell you anything?"
Well, I just went back to my Homeschoolblogger page, to find that the three articles which I had reposted, have been removed again, and my account there has been disabled by the administrator.

I certainly hope you have changed your password, Cynthia, to something much more difficult.
I just did. And I changed my other passwords too. I thought it WAS difficult. I wonder how whoever it was, figured out what it was?
Hi Cynthia,
That was me that left the anonymous comment. I think it is pretty obvious, at least to me, what is going on. What is the common thread in all three of those articles? Why don't they take down your other articles?
I think the blogosphere has gone insane. To think people are so desperate as to hack a blog? Why? Cynthia, do you know any reason someone would want to hack your little blog? Do you have a lot of traffic here or something? Are you well-known?
What is the common denominator?
It appears that the blog administrator may have something to do with it. My account has been disabled, and I can't post anything new there.
And yes, it seems that I have become rather well known. One of the posts that was deleted was "Behind the HyperPatriarchy II", the article that links MacDonald and Phillips to Wilkins, Wilson, and the League of the South, and to which which a number of other blogowners have linked.
I had republished that article on *Talk To Action*
http://0rz.com/?uSy49
under the title "Reconstructing the Confederacy", and it seems that it attracted some attention from the fellows over at the Chalcedon Foundation.
I received a letter from a collegue warning me to be aware that Chris Ortiz at Chalcedon Foundation has become aware of my writing, and doesn't like it:

It also seems that Ortiz doesn't like the fact that I have been deliberately spelling Rushdoony's name with an "e", about half of the time. It's rather childish, I know, but I wondered how long it would take until one of these fellows finally noticed and made a point of pointing it out.
NO, I am not pro-choice. I an anti-abortion, anti-euthanesia, anti-death penalty, and pro-universal health care.
Zan, I'd like to to add to that last comment, lest someone play the guilt-by-association card just because I posted an article on Talk2Action the other day.
First of all, it is true that Talk2Action's
"mission statement" reads
"We are pro-religious equality and pro-separation of church and state. We are prochoice, and we support gay and lesbian civil rights — including marriage equality. Therefore, debates about the validity of abortion and gay rights are off topic."
For the record, I am an orthodox, old-fashioned, non-Dominionist Protestant.
I am pro-separation of Church and state, but I am also Pro-life, anti-capital punishment, and pro-universal healthcare, as I stated earlier. That set of views puts me at odds with both the hard Left and the hard Right, much of the time. But I comment on all kinds of blogs, not just on those sites where everyone agrees with me.
And, everyone at Talk2Action certainly does not agree with me. The comments I made to this piece of nastiness (linked below) last Thursday didn't win me any popularity contests:

Someone wrote to me and told me that the Prairie Muffins (no kidding, that's what these ladies call themselves) are saying that the fact that I post articles At Talk2Action proves that I am in agreement with their "mission statement".
Carmon, the blog owner and head Muffin, says:
"I’m not sure someone with those family values is the person who can speak objectively about the “darker side to the Reconstructionist/Patriarchy movement.” She can believe what she wishes about any topic under the sun, but I wanted to set the record straight for the sake of those who might read some of her writing and have the mistaken impression that she is fundamentally in agreement with their Christian worldview."

Sheesh.
Zan, thank you for asking me whether or not I share the mindset of Talk2Action.
And, no, you didn't upset me. You were giving your heartfelt opinion, and, even though I don't agree with the part about keeping quiet and not writing negative articles, I appreciate your insights, and your gracious way of expressing them.
God Bless you.
"I do think that there is a view in reformed circles that give too much credit to men. I think this can lead to error"
Bingo! Very wise observation. Some of the hyper patriarchal reformed types do not seem to read Hebrews or understand it if they do.
But the Catholic Church is just as bad or worse, friend.
Paul, Gena, nothing would please me more than to find that my blog was the victim of a computer glitch rather than the target of a hacker.
I haven't seen anything in my email, bu I will keep looking.
I have a good appetite for crow when I am eating it because people turned out to be nicer than I had originally thought.
Gena, I recieved you email in my other mailbox. You should be receiving my reply right about now.
Hi Zan.... I like the way you think. Please come right out and ask me anything, and please come right out and TELL me anything, including the fact that you think I am full of baloney, should that ever become the case. :)
I may not agree with you, but discussion is a good thing, always. There's no topic so bad, that two Christians can't discuss it in a civilized fashion.
The things that I don't like are name calling, and strike-and-run guerilla tactics, where someone throws out a bunch of accusations but will not back them up with dialogue:

As for Catholicism....
I grew up a Roman Catholic, and I studied theology at a Catholic college. I became a Protestant 28 years ago, though I had been born again 5 years earlier, as a Catholic.
There are many, many saved people in the Catholic church, and many of Catholicism's core beliefs are right on target, particularly their view of human gender, and their pro-life stance.
The Catholic church falls short, in my opinion, when it comes to telling people about salvation by grace through faith, and it is my view that their soteriology places too much emphasis on works. They also teach a lot of doctrine regarding Mary, etc, that is not demonstrably incorrect, but is certainly extra-Biblical.
The Catholics have their own problems right now, too, with a group of extremists who closely resemble the Calvinist dominionists.
One such group has been in schism with the main body of the Catholic church since about 1980; various other ideological groups have remained within the Church and have been steadily working to bring mainstream Catholics around to their ways of thinking, which generally include some or all of the following:
hyper-patriarchy, Quiverfull (mainstream Catholicism allows for natural family planning, Quiverfull does not), dresses only and headcovering for women, limited education and limited career choices for women, and, in some instances, antiSemitism, racism, and a Catholic-based version of dominionism.

Interesting.
Can you name one of the groups that's supporting gender-role reformation in Catholicism?
Buck, can you clarify what you mean by gender-role reformation?
I ask you that because the ultra- Consevative Catholics would call their headcovering/Quiverful philosophy gender-reformation, and the ultra-Liberals would use the same term to describe their push for women's ordination.
I can't follow any of your links -- they all show up in my browser with a "?" after the forward slash, like this:
http://0rz.com/?gqg9N
It's probably something at my end, but if you would tell me what that character should be (assuming it's consistent) I can edit the URLs accordingly.
I'd like to see the various discussions!
