Yeah, my blog’s well known for that. Right, anyone who’s ever visited one of my comment threads?

That’s all from me. Your anonymity, Lefty, is once again safe from the ravages of my keyboard.

Hey niall, my guy looked wasn’t a white guy. What would you have said?

So sorry if I hurt your feelings by deleting your allegedly “polite — even respectful” attempts to accuse me of being some kind of menace to society on my blog. Unfortunately for your efforts to attack me personally I decided that, frankly, I am not actually obliged to let you and your friends use my comment threads for the purpose of trying to attack me. I’m happy to let you use them to discuss your views on issues, but if all you’re interested in talking about is what an appalling human being you think I am, I’m afraid you’ll have to find another forum. A forum where people are really excited to get stuck into people with whom they disagree.

You’ve found such a forum? You in fact came from such a forum? How fantastic for you. Free speech wins again.

Odd isn’t it, how when one is polite — even respectful — but happens to disagree with your position is barred from commenting on your site (though no abusive language was ever used) turns to less intellectual (perhaps) and less flattering protrayals of you on other sites were your antics are in question?

Clearly we remember pickin on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
Ooh, but we unleashed a lion…
Gnashed his teeth and bit his “female friend’s” breast…
How can we forget?
And he shit me, an “anonymous left”
My jaw not hurtin…but ooh, dropped wide open

Daddy didnt give affection, no…
And the boy was something that mommy wouldnt wear
King Jeremy the wicked…oh, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today…

(sincere apologies to Pearl Jam)

The real problem with Jeremy’s action is not that he has grossly violated some ethical code; it’s just that it’s not an edifying spectacle to see a highly educated and well-paid professional using a sophisticated technology to beat up on a nobody, one who is already despised, and who has no means of reply. Perhaps Mr Gavey deserves it, but then again, it’s a horrible job he’s got. Parking officers have to listen to excuses all day, usually delivered abusively, so they probably grow deaf to even the reasonable ones. And maybe he was having a bad day.

Performance art as conflict resolution. I’d like to see that.

I get the feeling personal feelings towards other “interwebites” is more important to some folks than issues of justice or a person’s right to have a matter heard through formal processes. He’s guilty, now “cyber” him so short lived ego gratification can be felt. Bugger his privacy and all those pesky things.

take him to Judge Judy

It’s past that point, I think Darlene. This dispute’s going to have to be solved through interpretative dance.
