Cat's Rants - Confessions of an Occult Mastermind

Ooops!

Actual date 2/8/2014

Looks like a certain forum has again forgotten that you can't link to an entire category without me moving it, or changing it, or deleting it, especially since I'm kind of a jerk about being linked to without my permission (and this group has not ever asked permission to use my work so far as I can remember.) :/ I've been over that in here before...not just the "I'm a huge jerk when categories and even sometimes articles are linked to without my permission" thing (basically with articles, it depends who's linking - if you're concerned, please just ask! - with categories, it's always do not link to the whole category unless you have my express permission to,) but also that if people want to cry fair use, or to not respect my wishes on where links to my original work are placed, I can always change the URLs so that your links don't work. :)

So, if anyone would like to let me know the link has been removed from that site, I'll gladly return this humorous thread to where it once was. Otherwise, I'm sorry to be forced to call them out, but it's not the first time I've had this problem with that group. :/

Sorry to anyone else who had wanted to read those articles. This stuff happens, and it's usually temporary and just an honest mistake (or, I should say a situation where no ill-thought was behind it.)

On a sad note, it does look like that thread may be incomplete - why that is, I do not know, - and if I want to restore it, I will have to go through and make sure it is still coherent if and when I am able to repost it. There are at least 2 posts missing under the category heading. :( They may be under another category. If and when I can post the articles back up, I will definitely make sure all of the related articles are still linear and coherent, and tell the whole story.

Ooops!

LOL, I went back in time to publish this apparently. ;) Real date: May 12, 2013...

I'm sorry, someone forced me to change this category and move all articles under it to a new one, due to someone linking a category of my blog to their site without my permission. :( If that was you, please kindly contact me (you can find how to do so under my picture on the upper left,) and make sure I approve of your linking.

While it was complimentary as far as I can tell, I was not appreciative of it's placement and it was drawing some rather unwell people to request my services. As I say all the time, I don't help people who want to kill babies, or who want the physical love of a child, want me to give them a magical rape drug, etc. I don't even work with overly stressed people, overly depressed people, or people made emotionally unfit by the trauma of their situation. I do, however, have to spend hours of unpaid time telling these folks I can't accept their business. I lose pay by having to waste so much unpaid time replying, they get hurt feelings. That's not fun for either party.

If this was you who posted the category link or if it's linked to your site/forum, I appreciate your recommendation, but require approval for such types of placement of my link. While it's fair use to use without my permission, it's fair use for me to keep changing the category if you do. ;) I will continue to do so until you secure my permission to use a category link, something which I won't generally give when it acts as a form of advertisement which in this case it did. Sorry for any turmoil this may cause you. I do not mean to be discourteous, but I do not advertise anyone's business link without their permission, and I expect the same treatment of those using an entire category link. Thanks! :D
