“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

The Elephant Under Siege
I Guess we got up somebody's nose. We seem to be back in business after being hacked and pirated.
Didn't mean to cause alarm. I just emailed you. I was wondering if you'd put 2 & 2 together and figure that invite hanging out there finally got RSVP'd.
I really don't think Blogger is terribly hackable, unless someone knows you personally and guesses a password. And that's not really hacking.
I should have known something was up when you posted "test" before.
I imagine you didn't fancy saving my comment for NIE thread?
It seems comment moderation, at least the mode wherein they are sent for prior approval, is off.
You can manage all these rights as Administrator. Everyone else who you invited who has administrative rights has the same rights you do. There really aren't any degrees; you either have admin rights or not. People who do can moderate comments. People who do not cannot. You probably figured this out already though...
Apologies to all on the down time and attack.
