This parasite is destroying all threads on the blog and I think he's doing it deliberately. <br /><br />I think Councillors are worried. They got control of the local press and pretty much dictate what is and isn't published there. Suddenly they realized that online blogs were rising in popularity and that ECR was getting significant interest by posting the stuff that the Council's poodles in the local press wouldn't touch.<br /><br />The answer? Strategy One was to threaten ECR with legal action. That didn't work. You can't sue for libel if it's true and, most of the time it's pretty hard to sue for libel even if it isn't. So, they went to Strategy Two; to infiltrate the blog and make it unreadable. If this didn't work they'd have to resort to Strategy Three; buying off the proprietor. <br /><br />You have missed a trick ECR. If you eliminate Bluenote the brown envelopes will come.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-82317213233508618702010-07-28T13:53:54.628+01:002010-07-28T13:53:54.628+01:00If we are going all Trekky, shouldn't we think...If we are going all Trekky, shouldn't we think logically as well as laterally.

The present Coalition enjoy more than 50% of the vote, if not the electorate, between them but is that what you want? For true democracy we would need proportionate representation and a compulsory voting system but would that result in good governance or shady deals? Then again, is compulsory voting in itself democratic?

Both you and I know you were previously posting comments as 'The Rock'. I banned you, you came back under a different nom de plume!<br /><br />Still, I've overlooked that minor detail as your contributions are generally interesting and couched in moderate language, even though I disagree with much of what you say.<br /><br />I have no problem with alternative views on this blog. After all, democratic debate is one of the few freedoms we still enjoy in this country. Well, it was the last time I looked.<br /><br />And at the end of the day, if I really don't like what somebody's saying, or if they're dominating proceedings disproportionately, I can always delete their comments.

The difference between Bluenote and many other commentators is he/she uses a title so we know it is from the one source. The Anonymous commentator can respond without identification.<br /><br />Again we have a conflict of suggestions here. If Bluenote's views are unlikely to be supported even by Tories then it is most unlikely he would attract the necessary support to be elected as a politician. Again, my anonymous friend, you cannot have it both ways.<br /><br />Another interesting point which you can easily check out. When Bluenote contributes we tend to have a lengthy and lively debate but when it he does not it dies quickly. As an ardent follower I know which I prefer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-76071826315369676942010-07-28T09:50:31.957+01:002010-07-28T09:50:31.957+01:00"Tory views are hardly minority in Thanet so ..."Tory views are hardly minority in Thanet so you cannot have it both ways."<br /><br />Oh, I think the views of a certain wing of the Tory party would be quite unpalatable to the vast majority of people living here. <br /><br />Has anyone else noticed how Bluenote's postings always seem to get people's backs up. Perhaps it isn't so much that he expresses a personal opinion, but that he keeps coming back to argue the toss when somebody else expresses a different view. This is why I thin Bluenote is a politician. He can't listen to what other people have to say without trying to tell them that they are wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-55535132863985414972010-07-28T09:27:38.697+01:002010-07-28T09:27:38.697+01:00Et tu, Lucy, and there's me thinking we were f...Et tu, Lucy, and there's me thinking we were friends.<br /><br />Anyway, you have a nice day, sweetie, and go easy on the juice.Bluenotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506047184035056068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-2416735663366409852010-07-28T08:10:55.842+01:002010-07-28T08:10:55.842+01:00Yay!
