Is this the ONLY Thanet blog that allows free speech...

14 comments:

  1. I think most of the older blogs have tried completely open and un-moderated speech at one time or another.

    Certain sites, Worrow, Driver, Thanet Watch, TIG etc never ever allowed free speech, which was always funny as the people behind those sites proclaim to be about open, transparent governance and free speech. I've never seen anything I wrote on any of those sites appear, I have several comments on Thanet Watch still awaiting moderation and a recent post to Drivers site will no doubt never appear! (prove me wrong Northwood Ward Cllr I beg thee)

    Michael Childs, Dr Moores, the old railway geezer from Margate and others have done un-moderated free speech but have come unstuck a few times, Moores more so than most and have either started to moderate every comment or do so retrospectively a few days later. Sometimes blog owners have resorted to moderation to cut down on spam bots, Millionaire extraordinaire Richard from East Cliffe Ramsgate being one of the last to get a few twinges everytime he checked his comment counter!

    Not sure what Michael's recent spate of deleting your comments is about, other than the fact that you do have a tendancy to say exactly what is on your mind and don't hold back when looking at getting the uppercut in straight after a jab.

  2. I am more than happy to offer free speech here, I tend to find that clowns such as Driver and his minions make fools of themselves with little input from anyone else.

    It does amuse me that Drivers current bandwagon revolves around openness and transparancy, yet he hides behind 100% censorship of his comedy blog. I have never yet had a post appear on Drivers comedy blog, neither has he ever answered the questions he's been asked. It seems he can only ever operate in an environment where he has complete control, or is completely protected, and the same goes for his monkey.

    You are right, I do speak my mind, and as such, I am the natural enemy of the Driver's of this world on many levels. That I have a mind clearly puts me above Driver, and that I am not prepared to swallow half arsed bullshit clearly puts me WAY above his happy band of naive and easily lead minions and his pet monkey Christine Tongue.

    Sadly it seems Michael is no longer prepared to have Driver humiliated on his blog. I think that's a shame, as I had an amount of respect for Michael. Having met him a few times, I am sure he is sincere in his beliefs, even though I disagree with him, and he is clearly wrong ;)

    Democracy takes yet another bashing online in Thanet.

  3. You have to laugh, this was part of the posting guidelnes for the 2nd Group Driver Driver abandoned when it no longer suited his purposes;

    "Readers' comments are moderated, judged for proper diversity and gender neutral awareness, TIG-approved blogging standards and appropriate political correctness at all times."

    No really suprised that Driver doesn't allow others comments, given comedy of that quality!

    I hope you don;t mean your page allows free speech? If so then why is a comment of mine currently awaiting approval?

    Oh dear.

  10. Oh now Geoff, it seems you have embarked on an inaccurate, misguided but highly amusing rant there my boy.

    Now to dispell some of your lies. If you are refering to the Yes to Tesco's page, it's not my facebook page, it was started by a freind, and I help admin it. The only people banned from there are worthless occutards, and people who abused the priviledge of being allowed to post. Somewhat different to the nimbys of the no site, who simply ban people who expose their bullshit for what it is, worthless bullshit.

    Anyone is welcome to post here, so long as they don't engage in spamming the page as has been attempted, Unlike the clueless clown Driver, I will publish posts from anyone, it's far more worthwhile ridiculing morons such as you, and posting for all to see your drivel, than it is to let you get away with posting it in secret.

    I would happily say anything I post here to anyone's face, but I really don;t choose to seek out the worthless such as Moss, the Pengelly fuckwittery, the clown Driver etc etc. My leisure time is FAR to valuable and petrol to expensive to waste spending seeking out intellectually lacking peons.

    They peons that are banned from the FB page have NOTHING to offer, indeed they are the greatest advert I have ever seen for living organ donation. How about you invite them to post here, if they don;t spam the page, and say preferably something intelligent, it will appear here. At the moment there is only one moron who's posts won't appear here.

    No run along by boy, find some occutards that might be inpressed by your bullshit, while the rest of us laugh and quite rightly ridicule you. :) Now off you fuck :)

  11. Spam? U fukin moron its ur site that's the problem! And lies? Prove it then! U always tell others to give proof so how about u show some once for once in ur miserable pathetic fukin life! Prove that the people u banned from the facebook page are what u say they are, or ur nuthin but a fukin sad old lying man.

    And from what I saw on the no page, they only ban vicious lying twats like u wen u keep making up shit and refusing to see the proof u keep asking for, saying there lying.

    And bullshit u'd say anything to anyone in person - that's why u have no photo of u on this site and why u only say this stiuff over the internet. ur just a keyboard warrior with no balls! if u really would say this in person then why didn't u go and talk to these people when the radio were in margate? why didn't u say all this crap to the radio people and let them know who u were? Nuthin but a fukin COWARD, old man and the world knows it!

  12. Wow Geoff, you are a bad tempered little lad aren't you. Is it the fact your are an occutard with a tent and nowhere to go, or the fact you are so easily ridiculed that upsets you the most and makes you so angry?

    They peons were proved to be the inaccurate, lying and intellectually lacking morons they clearly are at the time they were banned. Do i feel like proving anything to you, nope, you and your opinion really are worthless.

    Oh bless, you have let the nimbys fool you hahahahahahaha what a naive and gullible lil lad you are. Tell me my lad, where is the proof that nobodyt wants the new store, and where is the proof of the claimed flock of perigrine falcons? See if you can prove either of those claims, if you can, I MIGHT take you seriously.

    Sadly for you my boy, I have nothing to prove to anyone. I have no wish to meet the peasantry such as you, who will then no doubt attempt to engage in some kind of childish fistycuffs, where I will be forced to give you the slapping you so clearly need. Sorry, but I grew out of such childish persuits many years ago. It does amuse me that you have no picture, yet critises me for the lack of one, seems hypocrisy is one of the few traits you seem to excel in.

    Till then, sadly you will simply occupy the same level of respect as any other wiper of other peoples bottom's. Now run along, there's a good boy. Post again using such childish language, and your post will be redacted.

    Now go n find your carer, you appear to be dribbling.
