I apologise for the fact that there is currently no way to contact me through my website.
The Tertullian.org contact form has been targeted by a professional spammer in the last week. I wasted an hour of my life this evening, which I could ill afford, reworking the form to require human input. The spam didn’t stop at all. I can only infer that the spammer employs peasants in the third world to do his evil work. So I had to take it down.
Then I discovered that the contact form on this blog is now out of action. Some time ago I found that Contact Form 7, which I used, was “upgraded” to use a new version of Google’s “Recaptcha” service, which added spam to every page on the blog. So I downgraded it. Today I find that it is not functioning. The greed of Google for advertising is to blame, without a doubt.
Between the two I see no way to have a contact form right now. I will look into this more. Comments on the blog are still working tho.
I must confess to some resentment. I have so little time to spare. I did a day’s work, and domestic chores, and I had an hour for me at the end of it. And … some nameless swine has stolen it.
It is annoying that the political class has spent so much time on measures to implement censorship of opinion online, under the cynical label of “anti-hate”, yet has not bothered in the slightest about the endless avalanche of spam that everyone gets.
Ugh.
Don’t be demoralized. Your blog, your words are important for me, for us, and very few sites can offer such a reading and intellectual pleasure. I am very grateful for all you write .
I as well
