Believe me folks, it’s not a she and it’s not even remotely honest.

A fairly amusing post on it here:

Excerpt: “I’ve had it with comments on my blog and the abuse that goes along with blogging.”

followed by a sample of abusive comments.

The blogger-weirdo never allowed comments. It’s what’s known as viral black propaganda. I’ve seen a good bit of it before in a remarkably similar vein at the sites mentioned above.

hmm I take your point about political blogs especially in the US. PO’Neill was saying something recently about how the right wing ones get pretty vicious….

Yeah with credit cards I have ALWAYS paid them off in full on the month regardless of how much. Overdrafts cheaper than credit card interest….

McGurk needs to be stopped.

The critic in question is a tit.

Credit cards are the best invention in the world ever. So long as you know how to use them. It always suprises me how people don’t read the T&C.

(in that ‘politics’ has become the domain of personal attacks and slanders. Cf. Drudge, Matt; Horowitz, David)

and Freestaterâ€¦see, the whole pseudonymous thing..I just don’t know about it. I think you will always get identified ESPECIALLY in Irelandâ€¦so you might write things because you think you aren’t known but then you will get known and have to answer for them. This is fine if its just politics..but if its personal you are doomedâ€¦.

I disagree. The experience in the States is that McCarthyism is very much in vogue again, and we can already see the influence that such a mode of thought evidently holds over ‘certain’ bloggers.

I tend to think of what I say when blogging and commenting on other blogs as the equivalent of a loud pub conversation that someone is videoing.
