As you know, Eye is something of a fan of the internet and has even made forays into the world of blogging. We always try to keep it tame and have never ventured into the sort of questionable material to be found on certain other Quaker websites (we're looking at you, Quaker-B) so we felt rather hurt to discover that The Friend was being blocked by one of the biggest online filter providers in the world, apparently for being an 'occult' site!
Our office web wizard was soon hot on the trail to get us unblocked ('we're a member of CTBI, I’ll have you know', she was heard to shout, peacefully) and much time was spent speculating what we could have written recently to get us lumped in with the Satanists and cult recovery sites. Was it Alan Sealy's fault, we wondered?
We’ve been assured by Synetrix, who provide most of the services for the country’s educational establishments, that we will have our category changed to something more respectable. We also found that schools and libraries can take the block off themselves, so if you find us being blocked again, do go and tell the IT people at the helpdesk that we’re not as dangerous as all that. Consider it your bit for outreach.
