May 6th, as expected

by Philtheone

I hear schools in South Shore are being booked for unknown purposes for May 6th…

Could it be… ?

      Hopefully, who ever gets elected will introduce tougher liable laws for web log sites and address the lawlessness that prevails on some of the sites that I have visited.

      Any comments made by an anonymous blogger, that is made with the sole intent to damage the reputation of an individual or organisation, I think is unfair and the moderator should be held to account for such actions.

        I wish they would bar people with criminal convictions from holding public office and people in office convicted should be made to stand down. I was always under the impression you couldn’t be an MP, councillor etc with a criminal record. You would have a struggle getting into my job even with minor convictions. These are positions of high responsibility and are privy to sensitive information so you would think it is common sense that they would stringently vet any applicants.

          Very interesting coment TB, but Nelson Mandela spent 28 years behind bars and went on to gain the nobel peace prize in 1993, so having a criminal record does not necessarily make you a bad person

            You have to remember that Mandela was carrying out the sorts of things that we would now label as terrorism.

            The only difference is that with hindsight we agreed with his cause, and we don’t agree with the cause of the IRA or Islamist extremism.

          Very true point, I guess cases should be judged individually then.

            TB. Yes I think so, but fraud and sex offences to name but a few I agree with you that any public figure should not be allowed to hold public office what ever their colours

              I think there’s a minimum tariff for custodial sentences that sets the bar for whether or not a convicted ‘criminal’ can stand.

              This is only a relatively recent requirement – brought in after Bobby Sands was elected.

              Personally, I don’t think that criminal records should be a bar to standing, but they should be disclosed. It’s for the electorate to choose who they want to represent them.

        Well, you won’t have to worry, will you, as I’m fairly confident that Philtheone’s sole intent when writing his blog is not to damage the reputation of an individual or organisation – or to even defame them.

                I can think of more important things to deal with after the election… Out of control spending would seem to be a bigger issue than censoring people’s opinions (however outlandish).

                  Good point, but if we get lumbered with Liebour then Brown the Clown is pledging to keep on spending, what a joke. We do not have a bottomless pit of money, money does not grow on trees. Like that Labour sheep ‘cardy’ on the Gasjet was moaning about ‘Tory cuts’, cuts are necessary when a Labour Government has bankrupted the country.

                    I’m sure Cardy might feel differently if it was his own money he was pissing up against the wall.

                      I bet he would and the same goes for most socialists, socialists love squandering other people’s money. Its like I avoid credit cards like the plague because when you pay with a debit card you can’t spend money you don’t have, maybe Brown should take the hint.

                      There’s nothing wrong with credit and using money that you don’t immediately have – it’s the mismanagement of it that becomes a problem.

                      Many business grow on the basis of credit, just as many people wouldn’t be able to buy a house without a mortgage.

                      Brown’s problem is that he believed his own hype that there couldn’t be a ‘bust’ under him and that he could keep on spending at an accelerated rate to bring it under control – if he wanted to.

                      I agree with you there, I have nothing against credit I have a mortgage myself but me and my girlfriend do not spend what we don’t have. Like you say it is mismanagement that is the problem or gross mismanagement in the case of this Government.

                  John,
                  I want to be specific here. I’m talking about web log sites. How would you feel if somebody on a blogging site disclosed your personal details and accused you of committing an offence that you never committed? What would do think would be the appropriate action?

                    Ok I’ll play.

                    Congratulations, you looked me up on a whois database like many have already.

                    I’ve said many times I’m not an enigma and that hasn’t changed. You haven’t achieved a coup by looking up my personal details; it’s been done by many of my viewers but none of them have seen fit to advertise it as teh big secret!!!111 – probably because it isn’t.

                    Since you clearly don’t like what I write and are implying that I’m some rampant lawbreaker, let me say this: I’ve no intention of breaking the law, defaming people or publishing personal info, and I like to think I am responsive and responsible enough to take care of anything that would be determined to be law breaking.

                    As you know I don’t censor people unless absolutely necessary and this wont ever change. This is just one of many abrasive soap box web sites, and if you don’t like it I’m not forcing you to read it.

                    How would I feel?

                    Well, it would depend on what the circumstances were. Are the details already in the public domain? Had I done something to warrant their disclosure if they weren’t?

                    Being accused of an offence that I hadn’t committed? Well, again, I suppose it depends on who was saying it and in what context… If it were certain people with past form making the claims, then I don’t think it would be enough to take seriously.

                    If I was concerned about it, then I’d do the sensible thing and contact the blogger (that’s what we call people who run ‘web logs’ – a term that fell out of use a decade ago) and suggest that they’ve made a mistake and that you’d like their article to be rectified. As for any comments left on their sites… They can’t be held totally responsible for them. Again, common sense kicks in, if there’s a problem.

                    Most of the time, bloggers will moderate with discretion, but occasionally things get overlooked. Running something that’s written for their own interest and for the benefit of other people isn’t a 24-hour vocation. Sending off threatening emails isn’t the way to deal with it.

                    By ‘tougher laws’, I’m assuming you mean you’d like to be able to dial ‘999′ when you read silly and disagreeable things?

                    Rather than circle the drain on this, can’t you just cut to the chase and tell us what you really think?

        I cannot see your address MR Burrow and I doubt that is your real name anyway! so that would make you anonymous to.
        When did it become an offence to sate something you truly believed to be true.
        If you do not like blogs then why upset yourself reading them.
        Hey its Sunday, the sun is out, go on out and have a nice lunch, relax, you know you will feel much better and do not forget to take you pills!

      I know I have no room to talk seeing as prior to writing our own articles myself and Harold had a habit of posting offtopic comments effectively starting our own threads. But Mr Burrow if you feel so strongly about the internet libel laws and such then ask Phil if you could do a guest article on the subject. Just a suggestion.

            I can say with 100% certainty knowing Phil that he is not in the least bit intimidated by that knobend and his woo ‘magic powers’ to use the WHOIS database.. Unless things get beyond the point of tolerance when it comes to trolling i cant see him giving a fuck. Classic thing is “Preston Paul” or whatever name he wants to use is blatantly still crying in to his keyboard.

            I like to think we’re grown ups here and take his comments with a pinch of salt to be honest.

            After all, he’s one of these people that thinks he can hide by using all these different names and is too scared to grind his little axe under one pseudonym.

            He appears to think he holds some power by having looked my domain name up and posting using my surname.

            If he derails any more topics I’ll just delete his comments.

            As a side note, BlackpoolRockSeller is someone that haunts True Blackpudlian on the Gasjet comments and deletes his comments for whatever reason. He could just be pissed off that he can’t delete comments on here!

              BlackpoolRockSeller is a pain in the arse but I made a complaint to the Gazette and he has left me alone ever since. It is the equally obnoxious and anti-Blackpool ‘ItzNotWotItWoz’ who is giving me grief now and I have made several complaints to the Gasjet about him as well. Now I have got a load of abusive pro-smokers sniping at me just because they disagree with my comments. They are so childish, bigotted and nasty and they call themselves ‘grown ups’. But like you say they can’t do a thing on there because their identity can be found.

                You remind me of the kid at school that the others pick on simply because you make a gigantic fuss about it, complaining to the gasjet isnt going to stop people having a dig.

                If you have a different opinion to somebody else then the less mature ones are going to take sly digs at you… Just shrug it off

I must admit Alison Bott was quite helpful in warning these idiots off. But now I am just ignoring them and deleting any abuse they send without replying.

                The likes of BlackpoolRockSeller get off on winding you up and continue to do it.

                There’s absolutely no doubt that BRS is a deleter given his comments on here as Mr. Burrow.

                But I think there are several on the Gasjet that do it and no matter the complaints you wont be able to prevent someone deleting all your comments.

    “Mr Burrow” is talking total shit. Holding the site owner responsible for its users opinions it like arresting a landlord whose tenants committed armed robbery.

    You arrest the person that committed the crime full stop.

    Just as the landlord is not aiding and abetting an armed robber by letting him rent out somewhere to live, nether is the site owner aiding and abetting a user to commit a crime by giving him/her somewhere to post. If a poster steps outside the law it’s not for the site admin to suddenly act as the police. That’s for the police to do.

    From a technical viewpoint it’s impossible to 100% effectively moderate ANYTHING on the internet. That’s why child porn is still attainable via the internet to name just one illegal activity.

    If admin’s were under legal duress for everything everyone said on there site it would be the end of free speech on the internet.

      I have never in my years of browsing seen so many people as i have in the last few weeks of trolling some of these websites that are so botherd about comments other people make on the internet.

      It has made me and several others laugh continuously, of course there stems the problem do i try to do something about it or carry on reading for my own entertainment.

      I choose the latter.

    Can I just add that this “Mr Burrow”, aka BlackpoolRockSeller, got caught out last month as being from Blackpool Council.

    But in some attempt to close the door after the horse has bolted (and in doing so confirming my suspicions) he is now posting via a proxy site, which I have now firewalled so he’ll have to find another or post from his real IP address.

    And here’s a tip BRS; all those proxy.me.uk and cantcatchme.co.uk proxies point to the same server, agrestic.vectro.com. So no matter which you try, you’re still blocked.
