Anna Raccoon, the blogger that did the most to free Nick Hogan from prison and Sheila Martin from a £2,500 pound for dropping cigarette ash, has disappeared from the Blogosphere. not only has her Blog gone but also her facebook page.
Alright maybe I’m being paranoid about this. But why would she expunge her online identity in this way.
Has she been threatened or has she hung up her blogging and decided to go for the quiet life?
UPDATE: From a source I’m informed that she has retired from blogging. Reasons unknown.
I would have thought that if you were quitting you would say so.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope this is not a sign of things to come - or am I just being paranoid now?
Who knows. l get visited by gov/council quite regularly.
ReplyDeleteI e-mailed her this morning but no reply as yet - though it didn't bounce back, at least. I hope she's not in hot water over the Public Guardian stuff.
ReplyDeleteSH - I get them too - and the EHRC. You'd think they'd have better things to do. The most worrying one I had was an unidentified Saudi government agency - three times.
I'll see what I can find out tomorrow FE.
ReplyDeleteI really hope its not something sinister...the website was in maintenance mode and now it looks like the domain has lapsed.
ReplyDeleteAnna has kindly allowed me to post some silly musings on her site in the past, and I have a great deal of respect for her and for all who contributed to her site. I shall make my own inquiries but I shall be so sad if this corner of the blogosphere has become silent

Hi Gildas,
ReplyDeleteAccording to OBO on facebook, Anna has decided to quit blogging. A sad day for the Blogosphere.
A sad day indeed. It's strange to just disappear like that though.
ReplyDeleteAt least she went on a high note.
Sad indeed. Can't understand why she didn't post a last post to say goodbye like CF did when he quit?
ReplyDeleteI e-mailed her this morning and got a reject immediately from gmail saying the email account does not exist.
I feel like I have lost a dear friend!

I hope it isn't so, I rather enjoyed reading her exploits. Unusual to just go without saying goodbye, though a while ago she did mention hanging up her keyboard and that the domain "rental" only had a limited time left.
ReplyDeleteThen again perhaps bloated and demented the demon bloggers finally got to her with their idiotic vendetta
Big shame. John Ward at The Slog also hung up his spurs the other day :-(
ReplyDeleteTragic if she's gone - one of the best blogs out there
ReplyDeleteThe best I can make out is that Obo the clown said that Anna Raccoon is OK but has retired.
ReplyDeleteSee his tweet here:
@obotheclown on AnnaRaccoon at approx 01:00am 13-Oct-2010
Apparently various long time contributors have tried to email and phone Anna, but there were no replies.
The only definite info is from the recently retired Obo, above.
Yes, very sad.
A tribute to Anna is now posted on the Grumpy Old Twat blog
ReplyDeleteVoluntarily, or removed?
ReplyDeleteI do hope there were no 'horses heads' involved.
It smells.
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. (William S)
ReplyDeleteThanks Anna.
Anna has left us a farewell letter here: Final words of Anna Raccoon
