Are you familiar with the Internet content filter, BSafe? If not, you should check it out, as it’s the best, Jerry, the best.
However, I was disappointed to discover that the filter blocks our blog, and plan to plead our case to the forces that be. That aside, I am a huge proponent of putting a filter on every computer, be it BSafe or another software.
In this dark age, we Christians must go out of our way to protect our children, our marriages, and our God-given purity. And if that means missing a few worthy blogs, so be it. After all, what profit it a man to gain the whole World Wide Web and lose his soul?
Update: Shortly after my post was published, the BSafe people contacted me and indicated that the reason our site was blocked is because it fell under the “Free Host” category, which are notoriously salacious and difficult to monitor. They agreed, however, to change our status to “Opinion” and therefore allow BSafe subscribers to read this blog. Just when I thought my estimation of their company could not go any higher, they do this.

Regarding your concern: “However, I was disappointed to discover that the filter blocks our blog, and plan to plead our case to the forces that be”.
We have changed the category of your Blog to “Opinion” so it will not be blocked if a user has the “Free Host” category selected to be blocked. In general Free Host sites are very volatile as far as assuring the content to be safe.
