If anyone’s still having difficulties posting a comment, it’s probably because of an issue to do with the way your firewall interacts with our site. Please refer to this thread for information as to how to configure your settings to avoid this issue. As is well known, Troppo is the home of free speech and civil discourse and nobody is banned from posting comments.

Both of these will enable you to access comments threads unless there’s some other problem.

Does this mean you are going to have a leadership spill?

A Sydney correspondent informs me that he cannot comment here regardless of the old browser thing of having to access comments via the permalink. News to me. It seems that some people may strike a Firewall problem at Ubersportingpundit blogs,…
