A good if depressing read. Solitary confinement. It's insane to have applied it to this case and should be used only for severe crimes or where the prisoner presents a safety risk to others.

While I can understand the purpose of press restrictions where children are concerned, it's clear this will be abused in these cases where there is an ideological drive to railroad children into this unethical social experiment in social constructionism and sex.

Side comment: it'd be worth revisiting the colour-scheme of the site. The text headings for posting comments are dark green on purple - very difficult to read.

Thanks. It really is depressing... the US should annex Canada sometime soon so this crap don't happen no more.

Yeah, he didn't even commit a violent crime! The judge was obviously an SJW and the trial was just for show. They wanted to make him into an example of what happens when you dissent against the Liberals.

Most definitely. If this was the other way around, and the mother was doing interviews about the father: there would be no charges against her, even if the court officially told her not to talk about it.

The text headings for posting comments are dark green on purple - very difficult to read.

It looked cool at first, but it really is a bit too much. Does it look fine now with light-blue headings? And does the text color look right? White contrasted to much so I used silver instead, but that might be too dark.

Thanks. On the text headings, it's the ones next to the boxes (e.g. comment, name, website). The text everywhere else looks good, and it's a nice colour scheme. The problem is only with the section for posting a comment.

Edit: and a quick nit-pick. It's piqued, not peaked.

Thank you! What's wrong with it?

Oh, thanks. They should both be spelled "piekt", if English spelling actually made any sense, which it don't.

On the colour, it could just be my set-up, but it appears to be green on dark purple. It's very difficult to read without first highlighting the text.

Yeah, I changed it to blue instead of green. Might have to clear your cache for the change to take effect, tho.

Cheers. Definitely clearer, and I can see in the code the change to lightblue for h3 (assuming I can still read HTML after all these years).

Don't read my CSS code, it's so disorganized right now, LOL!

99% of it's work-arounds since the theme I used doesn't let me customize much, but it's a good theme, so I didn't want to change it. I was originally gon'o write my own, but it's a bit too complicated, and I wanted to focus on writing articles first.

Honestly, I wouldn't be qualified to judge. I was amazed I was still able to make sense off HTML/CSS given how the web has gone. I'm of the mindset that the web peaked in the late 90s, everything after that being like pissing in the soup.

The thought police in action.

Hilariously, they realized people would call them that, so the court order said they can't police his thoughts — which means nothing, since mind-reading don't exist. They clearly didn't get the memo that "thought police" refers to policing the expression of thoughts, not the thoughts themselves (which is impossible).
