Apologies, seems I hadn't flicked a switch in the bowels of the blog engine room

Thank you and good night

Thanks again to all those who've been reading here in what to me were quite humbling numbers.  And sympathies to whoever got sore thumbs deleting all those signposting 'signatures' I posted in the Claws posts. 

But come on it's time to move on.  GOM and its members need to make any decisions and they now have the facts as best I recall them.  I repeat the offer in the PM that I sent (as Claws) shortly before I was banned again:

   "But I want to know if I was wrong. If I was I’ll apologise, not to seek any gain but I believe any wrongs I commit should be apologised for. And if as I believe I wasn’t wrong then to see what can be done to put the issue away"

   

And with that I will cease updating this blog.  If I'm asked questions best answered here or there are events that really need a response then maybe I'll post again


So thank you, goodnight and may your dog (or cat) go with you.

Random Wednesday thoughts

15 blog reads today already!  Thought I'd better post something new then

Tomorrow is the 1st anniversary of my ban from GOM.  Don't think I'll repost the sordid details but will see if I can find something amusing

For those who like mildly sick humour I have signed up for the Virtual Pub Celebrity Death Bingo game

What has happened to Old Holborn's blog?   No new posts for ages and a broken link to Twitter.   For those that Twit this is the  real link



update:  now 27 reads today, thanks all

Don't read this, read these

Really am quite amazed to have had over 60 blog views

But if you want to read well written material that you may disagree with but will make you think, then you could try these:

• Anna Raccoon's Blog
• Obo the Clown's Blog  (not in front of the children)
• Clarkson's weekly articles (you'll need a Times sub eventually)

Happy reading and grumping

Is it smart to post comments in this blog?

Quick answer: no


Long answer: probably not


The admin at GOM will at some point be aware of this blog and they could use rule 7 to ban you saying you libelled them.  Even if you didn't.

Rule 7 has history, I wrote it before I became a mod

7. Accounts will be summarily closed, where used to promote or defame other web sites, where moderators or administrators of this forum are libeled or defamed or where those accounts are identifiable as being used by those who have committed such libel or defamation.

It all harks back to the days of the now deceased GC site where several were posting all sorts of nasty content about Steve and Dawn Lewis Allen and then crying foul when their GOM accounts got closed.  So I suggested there was a clear rule. 

I'm not saying don't post a comment but better safe than sorry

The UKDebate Forum

Since March 2012 I've been posting at UKDebate  Seems I've put in 5,000 posts there already and I am far from the most active.  Quantity is of course no guarantee of quality but imho there is some seriously good posting there.  Less humour.

Current active topics include:

• Gay marriage

• Horsemeat found in supermarket burgers.

• Who are your favourite characters from history, and why?

• Shame on you.

• Why is it that the Asians seem more intelligent?

• Formula E

• Animal law is very silly

• Berlusconi surges ahead in polls weeks before Italian general election

• South American integration

• Sign this petition

• What if we'd got proportional representation?

• Dutch bank nationalised

• Watchdog warns Cameron over misleading public on national debt

And yes I still get into all sorts of scrapes and tiffs.  Here's a post from me earlier today

"I see our occasional Saturday correspondent hasn't spend the weekdays at charm school"

(Well he's a stupid git)

At the least you mght want to take a peek and bookmark in case you ever find yourself banned from GOM
