Quote of the Day

"Blogging about the blogosphere is a little like having a **** in the garden. It feels gritty and inappropriate, there’s always the vague apprehension that somebody’s watching and judging, and you’re likely to come away with unpleasant things stuck to you."
Laurie Penny, Liberal Conspiracy

As one of milords Rothschild remarked, every garden, however small, should have a few acres of rough woodland.

Re Daily Mail
You couldn't resist it Iain, could you ?
My enemy's enemy is my friend.

Pathetic.

Julie Moult's dominance of the blogosphere was initiated by The Mail's continued pilfering of my images and a false accusation of Google Bombing.
In light of this, I hope you, as a responsible commercial media owner, has paid Peter Brookes/The Times for the use of his cartoon on your blog.
Or have you inherited The Daily Mail's practices along with its stance on many an issue when it suits you.

How abso-bl**dy-lutely pathetic can you be Iain? Sticking that Daily Mail link in just shows your preference for petty popularism over content. I second everything BBDO says in his comment.

Now you'll probably just claim that we're all Tim's bitches, which would be an untrue yet typical response from yourself.

Bottom line, only the Daily Mail call's it bullying. The article you link to actually highlights the deficiencies of the Mail Online's comment policy along with correctly stating the facts of the matter. But with your track record on comment policy, it would be futile for any impartial reader to expect you to flag those points....
