I’m not entirely happy about this. I’m not sure how many subscribers I’ve lost because of this supposed mistake

None at all I hope.

FYI Graham, this happened when I tried to find your Substack some months ago on a different device than I usually use, so it's not a recent problem. I thought I wrote to you about it in case there was something off but maybe I didn't. I think I found it though by googling your name and Substack. So the people who really wanted to found you and now hopefully even more will.

Did Sir Humphrey Appleby compose that response?

wonderful

Thanks for that, I didn't know who he was and assumed it was a real person. On reflection, maybe he is and that was his response.

Oh I wish he was a real person! (Though I suspect a lot of senior civil servants are not dissimilar...) Sir Humphrey would have seen off this gendah woo immediately!

Ha, I can just IMAGINE the look on Sir Humphrey's/Nigel Hawthorne's (R.I.P.) face if he'd encountered this tripe: disdain so potent it'd cause every insufferable pronoun-toting Kweer to spontaneously combust on the spot.

And poor Jim, absolutely baffled and aghast. "Wait, what... he said it's not just women that have a cervix??"

Yes tho Sir H wouldn’t have used the abomination “reaching out”

I wonder why the post comes up as "Page not found"?

They have said or implied previously that they are strong on Free Speech - and certain other Substacks give me cause to accept that - so I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt here...

Twitter, it is not!

Good news and well done on your appearance on Dan Wootton's show tonight on GbNews! Fantastic that you can openly say your piece and a huge thank you for your continuing support of women and children! I live in hope that one day soon we shall be free from this crazy ideology and the scales will fall from the eyes of people and see the emperor is naked! We fully support you!! X

A platform with common sense? There’s a first time for everything!

I wonder how it ever got marked as explicit in the first place...

Not hard to believe at all considering the words in some of the posts

That's a bit pearl clutching. There's a hell of lot to be angry about, and consequently the anger gets expressed.

Expand full comment

I didn’t mean it that way, I just mean there is a conceivable overlap between the words in the articles and explicit material. For example on the recent article about peaking the woke: “lesbian, aroused, fetish” etc

I see, apologies for misunderstanding you.

Yes, taken out of context; there are pictures of topless girls, too.

The algorithms aren’t too smart and no one can tell you how they work, they’re a total black box

Phew! Although the phrase “reach out” should be reserved for The Four Tops only.

Expand full comment

Agree. Can't stand it! In the case of newspapers (we've reached out to X for comment) it means "we made a v half-hearted attempt to contact them". In the case of customer services operators (Thanks for reaching out) it means "We're going to do the minimum necessary to address your complaint".

I thought the darkness has descended there for a moment

Thank goodness, Graham. What would we do without you?

haha, it's so easy to be persuaded of madness when you're surrounded by it almost every waking minute.

I know I'm not mad. My mother had me tested regularly.

oww that's nice!

Yes, Graham, you should demand to know when, why & how this model mechanism of efficiency "erroneously marked your publication as explicit"? Multiply the # of days x the average # of daily new subscribers = demand damages. Substack can recap the money from the person who intentionally and maliciously damaged your business.

By the way, you mentioned on the Mess today that Allison Bailey's page had been reported as "malicious" or sth... Well, two can play at that game. Which I have now. Of course you'll never guess whom I'd report for spreading dangerous–esp to children–misinformation to the public... This link will help everyone do their civic duty:

'Phew' indeed. 😅 👍🏾👍🏾

This has been going on for awhile. The only way I have EVER been able to find the Glinner Update on substack was if I clicked on a link in an email. Going back to whenever I first subscribed to the free sub - which I found through a link someone else had posted. I have never found it through a search. Even your name just brought up the older stuff.

ugh, the blue hair mob is going crazy bananas now that Elon Stalins shadow is looming over them with the eminent horror of having free speech forced on them.

I just discovered Pinterest deleted a board I called "Gender Critical" where I'd collected almost 500 links over 2 years to YouTube videos, newspaper articles, press releases, blogs, reviews, etc. Everything on that board is publicly available elsewhere on the internet. I have put in an appeal and wait to find out if I can get back access to this carefully curated material.

Infuriating....please hurry up and get me reinstated to Twitter, Elon. Then buy Facebook/Instagram/Pinterest and shut them down...
