Issues and Tissues
Oh dear. Someone's upset the sensitive souls at bloggers4labour. You would think that they would have a lot of real issues to discuss but there's nary a word on Clarke's game of catch me if you can, the funding crisis in the NHS or, to be blunt, anything else.
What's got them so upset? Well someone who visited us then posted a comment on thier blog. I reproduce the shocking comment here:
Ho hum, we get much worse every day, but they've decided this is the issue of the week. Their response is just infantile:
Welcome to the future of political debate!
Now let's get this clear:

We do ask our readers to leave them alone. We're interested in discussing the important issues in politics and in the Labour party and the place to do that is here, not there.
Hmm... Looks like I've been
Hmm... Looks like I've been banned from commenting on b4l.
They are, of course, free to post here. We don't mind criticism and don't feel the need to make a fuss everytime we get a dodgy comment.

These guys are really not of this world are they...

"Since when have NuLabour been concerned about links to the Republican Party? Hypocrite."
I think the deceitful blogger4labour is lying about the naughty commenter.
I don't think he's telling
I don't think he's telling fibs about the commenter, but he does have a slighly paranoid attitude to us and seemed to imply (intentionally or not) that we were somehow behind it.
I do find them to be a touchy bunch (see the comments in ringverse's post above) but such is life.
We get worse stuff here every day but we don't feel the need to whine in the blogosphere about it.
Name calling is fun though!
Name calling is fun though! I especially liked the comment on willie waving, very amusing.
Did they not think that when
Did they not think that when the commenter said 'Fuck off and die' that he/she may have really meant it? When people feel they have no influence whatsoever, sometimes they become frustrated. Profane language often relieves tension. Maybe YOU ought to try it Buggers4Labor.
