Violet Blue still in the dark about her 'behavior'

I spoke to Violet Blue again this afternoon. My second and third requests to talk to a BoingBoing blogger were not accepted. I don't like writing stories with only one side represented, but if the other side won't talk to me, there's not a lot I can do. Here's some of what Violet Blue said:

-- "I still have no idea what they're talking about. I've been racking my brain to try to figure out what happened a year ago that might’ve made me public enemy No. 1 with BoingBoing. What did I do that was so rotten and bad that made them feel like they needed to remove all my posts?"

-- "I really want them to explain what I did."

-- "I'm thinking too, OK, could there be something embarrassing? But there isn't anything I've done that's secret or weird or anything like that."   

-- "I've been getting e-mails all morning asking me what the event was -– and I just have no idea."

-- "I was really close to Xeni," she said of Xeni Jardin, blogger and long-time BoingBoing contributer.

-- "I haven't incited anything, I haven't kept it on the top of my blog."

-- "They basically used the nuclear option for a personal grievance."

-- "I have nothing to hide because I really don't think I've done anything wrong."

-- "I haven't e-mailed them because I don't know what I'd say, and it's too embarrassing."

-- "They should've said something to me."

-- "It would be like going to your old house and finding your old yearbook and finding names crossed out of it and pictures ripped out."

Is it censorship for a writer to remove references to someone. Xeni's works are her own. Boingboing's works are their own. How they choose to remove works is their business. Similar to the Los Angeles Times removing old photos and articles from their website.

As for controversy, isn't that what bloggers do. Blogger Violet Blue has written some inflammatory stuff in the past. Her actions of using the "nuclear option" by claiming fear of violence from actress Violet Blue (a person living 2,000 miles away) by trying to get a court injunction with waive court fees.

In any case, this will all blow over. Actress Violet Blue changed her name to Noname Jane just to avioid the legal hassel, Blogger Violet Blue is still writing away and Boingboing is still boingboing. Life goes on.
