Neener

HA! I find it amusing that the asshat pedophile was complaining about how his "rights" were being violated, and how Blogger/Blogspot was going against their own TOS... Seems someone didn't read their TOS agreement very well...

This is what I found when I decided to go ahead and review said TOS for blogspot users (those with "blogspot" in their address). It's paraphrased and I picked out the pertinent bits. If you don't want to wade through the technical jargon, you can read the stuff in italics - it's the "translated" version of it that's specific to the asshat...

BlogSpot TOS -

4. MEMBER CONDUCT - You agree to not use the Service to: (a) upload, post or otherwise transmit any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable; (b) harm minors in any way;...(k) promote or provide instructional information about illegal activities, promote physical harm or injury against any group or individual, or promote any act of cruelty to animals.

You agree that, by clicking "I Agree", you won't be writing and/or posting ANYTHING on your blog that is considered unlawful or obscene, or harm minors IN ANY WAY, or give information about how to commit illegal activities.

You acknowledge that Pyra does not pre-screen Content, but that Pyra and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to refuse or remove any Content that is available via the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, Pyra and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the TOS or is otherwise objectionable.

You understand that we can remove any content that is against the TOS or is something we think is objectionable.

9. TERMINATION You agree that Pyra, in its sole discretion, may terminate your password, BlogSpot Site, use of the Service or use of any other Pyra service, and remove and discard any Content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Pyra believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of the TOS. Pyra may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of this TOS may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Pyra may immediately deactivate or delete your BlogSpot Site and all related information and files in your BlogSpot Site and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that Pyra shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination of your access to the Service.

You agree that we can terminate your account at any time, without notice, if we believe that you've done something against the TOS, either in the spirit of the TOS or the actual written portion of it.

So there - he can sit and spin with his accusations of Blogger or BlogSpot going against its TOS. They did exactly what they promised to do.
