  Two days ago, with NO EXPLANATION whatsoever (or an e-mail), ' Substack ' just arbitrarily suspended account for SUPPOSED violations of their ' Spam & Phishing ' policy. Everything I publish on Substack is LISTED on my Facebook page . There is NOTHING even close to spamming let alone phishing. I don't do either. Then today, with no explanation, the suspension is magically lifted. Doesn't make sense. Their suspensions are supposed to be for 5 days. So they must have realized that they screwed up. Well, I am DONE. Well & truly done. Screw 'Substack'.

So, there is NOTHING wrong with ' Savage ' as a name. Just one that has connotations.  I wonder what it must be like to grow up a ' Savage '. Couldn't be easy. So, I have much respect for those with that name. Just struck me as AMUSING that we have a 'Savage' writing about War Crimes. Actually a DECENT article. The name just made me smile. Cheers.😊

Bob Marley & I were contemporaries, in Britain, until his death. I was also exposed to 'Rasta' color through my then ardent following of the 'West Indies' cricket team. A number of players, in the 1970s, wore Rasta colors -- usually in the form of a wristband. I am very partial to Jamaican cuisine & like the spirit/spunk of Jamaicans. Thus, I frequent places that sell Jamaican food and try and socialize with Jamaicans. Many of Bar Harbor, Maine, and Burlington, Vermont, hotels are run by Jamaicans. So I have seen quite a few, quite often. But I don't recall seeing any Rasta colors or mention of Rasta bel...

  ➖  ➖  ➖  ➖  ➖  ➖ I failed miserably on 'Substack'. I didn't get any traction, nor was any of my posts picked up by 'Google'. So, I am back. My image about says it all. I am SORRY I left. I am back. Doubt that I will ever think of leaving again. I try to learn from my mistakes. Please accept me back. I am chastised. ➖  ➖  ➖  ➖  ➖  ➖ 😔 😔 😔 😔
