For those that have tried to access the site, and got a "Forbidden" message instead, we apologize! We're trying to track down the problem, which seems to occur at random. Thanks for your patience.

About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

I, for one, cannot stand this treatment and will go on a hunger strike* until it subsides.
* liquid diets are considered hunger strikes according to the media
I thought they were on to me. I guess I'm not that important after all :)
I like it when Kate talks smack down! :D
Dang! And here I thought Kate was blocking _just_me_? Oh, well. ;-)
* liquid diets are considered hunger strikes according to the media
Well, I can relate 'cause this whole access 'Forbidden' thing has driven me to drink! Can the Guvmint send me some money now? I promise next time I'll vote for the zero.
.
And here I thought I was the only was being dissed...
The fool formerly known as Texas.
I got that dread trying to remember any post I made while drunk and forgotten, that was so bad I got punted. ;) Go Kate Go!
Oh Oh! I got that message too.
as long as its ok, john, phil the hater of all things agricultural, and Diptiste, there's no problem.
Might not be the same but I've had a few that told me my text was invalid or something. I used spel chek two!
This isn't about a commenting problem. The server is having little hissy fits in which certain ip numbers are forbidden from accessing the site at all. Instead, they get this page.
The problem seems to be transient, which is good, because I can't figure out what's doing it yet.
In the end, it's always about Bad JuJu. ;-)
I have encountered this problem in the recent past when I wanted to visit several of my frequently viewed news-aggregator and political commentary sites. In my case I use Mozilla Firefox as my web browser exclusively. Assuming that this problem occurs specifically with Firefox, please note that this web browser has several privacy and security settings within it that may be responsible.
In my case I was able to rid myself of the blocked site problem by going to the browser menu and clicking on "Tools" and then selecting the "options" on the pull down menu. Clicking "options" opens a window and selecting the "security" tab you will find a line that says "Block reported attack sites" with a checked box next to it. Merely un-checking this box has completely relieved me of this "blocked site" nuisance. Please note that you may have to repeat this step each time that Firefox updates itself to a newer version.
Assuming that this problem occurs specifically with Firefox,...
The SDA FORBIDDEN page happened to me using the Chromium browser, so no it's _not_ specific to Firefox.
.
A site I visit regularly has experienced random problems with a Google pop-up warning of malware. The site owner/admin repeatedly said there was no malware or viruses. What's odd about it is that it was irregular.
You might communicate with them and see if it's something in common.

A fine wine is worth the wait!
Got the message twice, but a few minutes later, OK.
I was locked out and seriously considered PHONING Kate, seeing that I couldn't access her email address, 'cause I was locked out. The rejection was demoralizing, but I'm over it. :)
Re. the Captcha, the letters are hard to decipher; the recent one MAY have included a t or maybe an f. At any rate, my comment was held for approval.
And here I thought I was blocked because I had used the word "poppycock" and got caught in the filters or something.
Sheesh...
Hi Kate
I did get that "forbidden page" but your above link to what we supposedly would have seen is not what I saw Saturday morning whilst trying to connect. I did no screen capture but the last line; point 5 or 6 was pointed and explicitly saying dont be a constant ass or obnoxious "...;luser" exact spelling of luser. ( in context imagine the stressed vowel u ).
An ardent fan.
Forbidden.
Half a dozen posts in as many years and i get banned = Bad-ass ;).
The problem seems to be transient, which is good, because I can't figure out what's doing it yet.
Oh, it's easy to isolate the root cause. Gotta be global warming.
Thanks for all your efforts on this web page. My mother
enjoys carrying out internet research and it is easy to understand why.
All of us hear all relating to the powerful means you make practical secrets by means of this web site
and therefore inspire contribution from the others about this point and our favorite girl is starting to learn a lot.
Have fun with the rest of the new year. You have been performing a superb job.
This is actually the toxic compounds coming out of the entire
body and the colors permit you know the place they are coming from.
Do you have a good friend who's been a small down lately? Ion cleansing is hydrotherapy and this energizing course of action continues for not a lot more than 30 minutes.
Its like you learn my mind! You seem to grasp so much approximately this, such
as you wrote the e book in it or something. I think that you could do with a few p.
c. to drive the message home a little bit, but other than that, that is magnificent blog.
An excellent read. I'll certainly be back.
