And here’s what he has to say about the “disappearing” of his old blog:
This last one, HIV skepticism, may explain it, as I had written several posts (at least five, I think) on this topic. The journal Medical Hypotheses, edited by my friend Bruce Charlton, had come under attack for printing an article written By Peter Duesberg and others, and the group doing the attacking openly declared that they would like the journal delisted from the National Library of Medicine, Dr. Charlton sacked, and Duesberg silenced. In one of my posts I printed the abstract from Duesberg’s paper and drew a comment from Dr. Duesberg as well. The flaw in my theory is that one would have to believe that a company such as Google would take seriously the notion that HIV skepticism is hate speech. But I believe it’s entirely possible that they would.
Welcome back, man.
See here, here, and here for my previous Mangan coverage.
UPDATE: Via View from the Right, I learned that Dennis’ old Blogger address is back up, like nothing had ever happened. The plot thickens.

HIV skepticism? Really?
Sofia:
His theory, not mine, though it seems plausible. Plenty of other bloggers write on controversial topics like HBD and haven’t been nuked in such a fashion. If Google wanted to conduct a pogrom against HBD thought criminals, Steve Sailer would be a more likely first target.
