The bastards.
Any advice on how to frustrate them?
HP has banned my IP address.

LIVE ELECTION NIGHT CHAT @ 5:00 pm PT TONIGHT!
As a great way to share this experience, PlanetPOV is hosting a live chat (live typed comments) tonight to discuss the night's results as they come in along with everything else this election will bring and what folks think it will mean for the future.
We Need to Stop Playing Trump’s Game
It is long past time to stop playing Trump’s game of racism, hate, misogyny, and abject greed. If Trump is elected, he will end democracy as we know it. Harris will preserve it and work to make it better and far more inclusive so we can have it, as Lincoln said, a more perfect union. It will only happen if you vote.
Arianna and crew, for all the liberal pretense are pretty adept at the whole “Enemies List” modus, aren’t they? I know this sounds paranoid, but I wonder how long it’ll be before one of her minions heads over this way and “takes names” of those here.
I’m still unbanned over there, but it’ll be interesting to see how many of us who are still posting in both places will suddenly vanish from HuffPo in the near future, as this alternative catches on.
one other suggestion kevin, is tell them you are going to post on every rightwing site you can think of all the evidence you have of HP’s hypocrisy, talk about your banning experiences, their censorship, the way you have to type in code just to make a post for such innocuous words as “magic,” “sick,” “ill,” etc. let them know in no uncertain terms you will keep hammering the right wing sites about the bullshit policies of HP, the slanted reporting that sometimes blatantly lies, every negative thing you can think about. they REALLY hate that. tell them you have been a loyal regular and mention too the racist, bigoted, vile crap that they allow right wingers to get away with while they scrub posts of self defense, and that you have plenty of examples to share. if you have any screen shots (i took LOADS of them when i was being attacked) tell them you will pass those on to the right like rush, o’reilly, etc.
the Queen (another “verboten” word on HP, btw) does NOT like it when people who are fair-minded threaten to expose her lack of same. if she starts getting slammed on o’reilly again, or rush, she’ll lose advertisers, which is what happened to her the last time.
her email btw, is arianna@huffingtonpost.com. i have a few others if you’re interested.
Easy.
Unplug your computer from the router / modem.
Reboot the router / modem & reconnect.
Restart your computer.
A NEW IP Address will be automatically assigned.
Excellent!
If that one works, I’ll be buying you a drink!
Nope. That did not do it.
No drink for you!
My router allows me to change my IP address. I recently had to do it in order to log in to my boss’s internal network (he talked me through it). I have a linksys. You have to get on their admin web site to change it. It wasn’t hard.
K7, here’s a list I found. You can go to one of these websites, type in Huffy and arrive there under an anonymous IP address:
Proxify (http://proxify.com/?1213)
Proxify provides you with secure (SSL) anonymous surfing. It removes cookies, scripts, ads, referrer information and optionally page titles. It hides your user agent (which provides information like the name of your browser and operating system) and optionally, the referrer information sent by the browser.
Anonymous Web Browser
The Anonymous Web Browser (http://htmlblock.co.uk/anon.php)
allows you to surf the internet anonymously, optionally removing cookies, the browser referer field, scripts (such as JavaScripts, VBScripts, etc), images, and objects (such as Flash, Java, etc). It can also encrypt your URLs and Cookies. You can also change the User-Agent (browser type) that the service sends to the website you’re visiting. There is a 2 MB download limit, and a 5 second anti-flood timer.
ShadowSurf
ShadowSurf (http://www.shadowsurf.com/)
provides free anonymous surfing.
@nonymouse Anonymous Web Surfing (http://www.guardster.com/subscription/proxy_free.php)
This free anonymous surfing service allows you to type into a URL into their website and it will retrieve that web page for you.
Guardster: Free Anonymous, Private Web Proxy
You can surf the Internet from this free anonymous web service. It is able to strip cookies, scripts, images, hide your referrer field, hide your user agent (name of browser), remove the page title, etc.
So, forgive my ineptitude, but:
The first one wants $40 for six months. Would it be possible for Huff to block me using them, assuming they wanted to mess with me, which it seems they do?
You could ask you ISP to change your IP address. Tell then you were infected and your IP was sending email as spam, so it was blocked by a few mail servers.
You could use a virtual private network to change the ip seen by servers.
You could also use a proxy. The free proxy services are generally untrustworthy, however. Many of them offer this service in order to mine info.
I would use a VPN.
EDIT:
I’ve used this company in the past. Fast and reliable. It did cost me approx $15 monthly.
