crossdressers.com not allowed on Chick Fil-a wifi

[Courtney . J]

big surprise hmm ? ,.. i was eating there the other day and one of my favorite things to do on my lunch hour is bring along my small cheapo lap top and browse the web to kill some time ,. and since this site is by far one of my favorite sites, i just love to hang out here and see whats going on ,. well i was not allowed to have that enjoyment the other day because they're server had blocked this site because it was a "adult themed pornographic website",.. yet i could go to goodle images and look at all the naked pictures i wanted to ,. wth ?


ive eaten at a number of other places and most of them allow this website ,. but not CF-A ,. like i said , big surprise huh

anywhoo i just had to rant a little bit and say that they lost my business with they're narrow minded business conduct ,. even though i luv them lil damn chicken sammaches


maybe ill go in there this weekend as CJ and see how im treated

[Debglam]

Yup. No surprise. Go to Micky D's. Their chicken sandwiches are just as good and your not funding a hater when you eat there, which makes them taste even better!

[NathalieX66]

Yeah, lol! We post a lot of pornographic pictures.

I can't say I've logged on to this site on my Ipad, mainly because I never bothered to enter the password like on my other computer. Most people will find me looking at Huffington Post or Youtube, and my Nathalie facebook page. I'm pretty much a regular at any given McDonalds, and also my favorite drive thru, Sonic. ..... I love their #7 Coney Island Chili Cheese dog and a lime limeade.

CFA, and Hobby Lobby (whose CEO flat out said " we don't serve Jews") are generally two places I refuse to patronize.

[Rogina B]

Don't give "Closed on Sundays" another dime...no one should!

[Allesandra Rhodes]

I'm with Rogina

[Courtney . J]

woops i should have also mentioned that i was not eating there and i have'nt in almost 2 years for this very same reason ,. i actually just picked up some What-A Burger right across from CFA and went to they're parking lot to use the wifi


and while doing this the little > in me said "hmm i wonder if i can get on my fav website'' ,. and bam NOPE ,. not just a no either but a hell no ,. hahaha



so i was like forget it > .. ill just go to google images and look at all the purdy gurlz that i want to

[Tracii G]

Contact corporate and ask the to find porn on this site in fact dare them.LOL

[Tamara Croft]

PM me details of this place, address etc please... I'm going to give them what for!!

[Allesandra Rhodes]

Uh oh, now they're in deep s**t

[Annette Todd]

That is not cfa. their server obviously uses a web filter not unlike other places I have been like some truck stop that offers free WiFi. If you have to find someone to criticize, try looking in the mirror first or have you forgotten that little lesson? let those who are free of guilt cast the first stone.

I think I was in a hospital (might have been a hospital, it was somewhere with free wifi, I remember that much) and tried to access this site and it was blocked there. It's probably a desire of Chick-fil-a's owners and operators to filter out adult content. They probably have a way of tracking traffic (probably useful in law enforcement scenarios, so they know who did what when, and I feel they have full right to do this if they do), as well as an automatically updated list of sites provided by a third party filter. Also, I think it's a lot harder to block particular Google Image searches without blocking the whole feature as a whole.

That being said, I do feel like it is a valid block, since this site does deal with "adult themes". If you want to be able to access it wherever you are no matter what, get a phone or a mobile hotspot, it's kinda pointless to complain about the free wifi provided by a company you refuse to give service to, since it is a service for their customers, not people who want to pull into the parking lot and use it without buying a sandwich.

Oh puh-lease, keep the bible quotes to yourself, it's wifi and it's NOT stealing if it's an OPEN network!! You have an open network, people are going to use it, end of story. When I was in Buffalo, the hotels internet security was terrible, I accessed their main system, it was OPEN, unsecured.... entirely stupid. So... plz be quiet!

Uh oh, now they're in deep s**t

Blocking this site for porno?? damn straight they are... this site is about as pornographic as the Disney channel... (don't even go there... I mean it lol)...

[ME2.0]

I'll admit, I show a little bit of leg on my avatar and profile pic, but I've never considered myself "porn" before. Wow, kinda makes me feel a little frisky...LOL

Hugs from a porn queen...

[Tamara Croft]

Aren't they those asshats that are against gay marriage or something?? I just vaguely remember something like that... if so, makes more sense why we're blocked... makes me mad... porn... PORN... I'll send them some porn that will make their hair curl

[Brooklyn]

Probably you've seen Willam Belli, Detox, and Vicky Vox in this spoof - but ICYMI: http://youtu.be/sO-msplukrw

[Tamara Croft]

I've not seen that no, that's pretty funny...

[LeaP]

Of COURSE it's Chick Fil-A, Annette ... Do you follow the news? Do you think they would unblock the site when they found out what it REALLY is?

"Oh, it's only about crossdressers, genderqueers, and transsexuals! OK, then! Right-o!"

Uh-Huh

[Tamara Croft]

Well, apart from alleged wifi theft, anti gay etc... this site still is NOT of a pornographic nature, if they are going to block us, they should have the balls to tell us why, which is why, when I get the information, I'm going to email them!

And LeaP... did you really have to use that avatar?? I'm going to have nightmares now... /no likey wizard of oz

[Rachael Leigh]

Chik Fil la is a fine company and bashing them is wrong, they have their beliefs and they have as much right to them as everyone on here has to theirs. To many people assume Chiistians are haters. I've got news for you I am a Christian and I try not to hate anyone but I am a sinner just as we all are. Many places to block websites for any adult content. I work for a company that's very gay friendly but I can't go to certaint sites online.

[LeaP]

I'm glad I didn't use that other witch, then ...

[Tamara Croft]

Chik Fil la is a fine company and bashing them is wrong,

Is it? so it's ok for them to block this forum and stating a false reason for blocking it then? This isn't a gay site, this is a CDing support forum, there is a huge difference and we certainly do NOT have porn on here. They are anti-gay, how is that not bashing others...

[Rachael Leigh]

Tamara I don't understand why is it when someone stands on their faith and have a beliefs it bashing but when someone criticizes someone's religious beliefe it's ok. The blocking software is usually not site spacific it usually looks for certain words and themes and has been stated this is and adult site. I would not want a young child or teen on here. But you are entitled to your opinion as am I but as I said my faith is stong and I don't hate gay people or any such thing I just want to show them how God loves them just like anyone in this messed up world we live in.

[Eryn]

[Moderator hat on]

Religious discussion is not allowed as it rapidly becomes divisive. This thread is about the WI-fi policy of a particular business. Let's stick to that.

[giuseppina]

Chik Fil la is a fine company and bashing them is wrong, they have their beliefs and they have as much right to them as everyone on here has to theirs. ...

The owners of this company are reported as being heterosexist. I'm afraid I cannot support such an organisation, as sexuality and gender are not as malleable as they think they are.

As things stand, this company has no stores in Canada to my knowledge, so I cannot express my displeasure by not patronising their establishments. That is as far as I'm prepared to go, as I don't have the funds to take them to court over their policies, the only other legal way to call them to account for their actions. Going to the news media requires me to tell the world I'm a crossdresser; I'm not ready to be out as it may affect my employment.

I won't say it is ok, but it is their right. Just as it is the rights of the Administrators/Owners of this site to place whatever limits they want, such as what subjects can't be talked about.
