I was still in parish ministry and found that certain members of my church were using my posts to undermine me. It wasn&#39;t anything controversial but they were twisting my words and making life difficult.<br/><br/>Then WP made some changes to their ToS that I found difficult to reconcile. So I downloaded all my post and deleted.<br/><br/>Of course now I can no longer remember where I squirrelled away all my data. 2026-02-27T13:54:37Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9gkqlydsr9ujwngqxy5r7jd2rna9chd2tdp9hl74mmapf8g85egczyrdaws802hvqpsq5qfqeuh5sw5alhuvmgenmklay2rfdv66ccqmeupfg5q4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyyhv4x7zs3fmecpjw39j2v7xxuus85k8l7kgyu96yre6k7zw4vkspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43q2t89pm'>nevent1q…89pm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqgpaqvffj4tmy7nu0ygznk6nfkf66ckec0p4vyj24mt4f2s8fvulssvtkx6" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpqgpaqvffj4tmy7nu0ygznk6nfkf66ckec0p4vyj24mt4f2s8fvulssvtkx6</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…tkx6</span>)</a></span> Only because I&#39;m still finding my way around Joomla! 😊 2026-02-27T12:02:58Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9h59tppr49vzka6fqhjtvuqqyvx97fqafnstcpsmpvu4xn3yulyszyrdaws802hvqpsq5qfqeuh5sw5alhuvmgenmklay2rfdv66ccqmeuj2h2r8 I&#39;ve been tentatively dipping my toe back into the blogosphere. <br/><br/>Today an edited and updated piece that briefly appeared on my old wordpress site a few years ago, very shortly before I closed all my WP accounts.<br/><br/><a href="http://kneewax.co.uk/blog/index.php/component/content/article/cofe-status-messages?catid=10">http://kneewax.co.uk/blog/index.php/component/content/article/cofe-status-messages?catid=10</a> 2026-02-27T09:31:48Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsph498hsvzs33et29pw0l88tqqg389y77l4eacprdurk2pvkcklpczyrdaws802hvqpsq5qfqeuh5sw5alhuvmgenmklay2rfdv66ccqmeuuxdduf Rest in Peace Rob Grant.
