Dissenter disappeared?

Well, well, it seems yet another voice has been deleted from cyberspace. What a shame, John's site had some worthwhile commentary on it. It'd have been nice to see it maintained. Instead it would appear Dave's applying his usual heavy-handedness and has censored John right out of existence. Here's hoping John brings those old articles back online at a new site.

John, if you're listening, download my exporter.root tool. It'll let you export your old Radio items and then import them into a nice shiny new MovableType site. Let me know if you need a hand using it.

Thanks for that wonderful tool Bill, it saved me from Radio. I had posted a comment about Dave's assinine attitude toward a fellow blogger (namely John) and most of my comments have been censored as well (by Chris Lydon for example). I hope John can get his weblog back, and put it on MT.

If experience is any guide, he will be treated like shit as his ex-customers were when they wanted to get some support (yeah I'm talking about me). His only hope is his foresight and a backup.

Happy in the MT land.

If John was using Radio to do it, yes he can totally recover his posts using my tool. He can immediately import them into MovableType and have it back up and running instantly.
