We understand that somewhere in cyber space there are unfounded allegations that we are not letting all comments through.
Well in certain respects that is correct, when we first started this blog many months ago now we did not want to moderate comments at all, and if you remember we put out a number of warnings to that effect when certain people started to play dirty.
We will not go through with you the long lists of really abusive comments that we have moderated out, or the pornographic ones either.
We have managed to get some external help on this and now the only comments that will be moderated are those that contain threats, abuse, pornography, or come from known BNP supporters, yes there are quite a lot of those.
That is now our policy, we believe we are being fair to our readers and our supporters on this, but if you have another view, or can come up with something else we would appreciate your comments.
Its a shame that people who profess to wanting to stand as candidates in the next local elections cannot put forward a reasonable debate on here.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your posting I have to say I am disappointed that they appear to have to stoop to threats and pornography, not what i would be looking for in a councillor.

Well I just hope all our next lot of councillors are as good as Fred Barnes on Thames View. Despite all his health problems, as soon as you ask him to get something done, you can be sure it will be done post haste. Well done Fred.
ReplyDeleteI just hope that on Thames View any councillors that get in will work as hard as Fred Barnes. You can contact him any time and he never makes you feel you are a nuisance and he always gets things done. He should never have been de-selected.
