The demon, not to be confused with the Mailer Daemon, trolls blog sites hoping to find domain names that are about to expire. This evil creature cares not whether its victim is young or old, but seems to assume that the older the victim, the more desperate he or she will be to get his or her creation back.
Mine was taken for ransom some time in 2008, I think, and the only buy-back offer the new owner will accept is a minimum bid of $1,000. The beastly miscreant knows that those of us who have worked on our blogs for years will be desperate to get them back and I think some victims will pay just about anything to regain their sangfroid after such a brutal and humiliating violations of their personal lives and cultures. Other, similar names, were also bought by the same said swine, including MissFUBARReflects.org, MissFUBARReflects.biz, etc. I thought I was protected when I trademarked my name, but sadly that turned out not to be the case, and I became fodder for this foul, insatiable and inhumanly cruel animal.
I had no idea that Google blogs and their domains were not registered or protected by Google and apparently a lot of other people have been similarly disheartened and surprised.
Please don't play into this or any other savage brute's dastardly scheme. Please make sure that you register AND PAY FOR your domain names. Keep all of your eyes, whether you have one or four, on said place in said space and be wary of its expiration date. Believe me, no one wants to go through what I have gone through to try to get it back. I finally had to give up for sanity's sake and will be re-blogging under a similar title.
Meanwhile, I hope to repost some of my most popular rants in the very near future, along with some new material.
