Audrey — I understand that, but in fact freedom of speech is an illusion. There’s no such thing as absolute freedom of speech, although by comparison with China, or Syria, we do pretty well.

However, there’s no right whatever for people to get their opinions published on a privately-funded website.

Bock.. I was just wanting to give you the article as it may be of interest to you and might make for a good post possibly. At least we have freedom of speech in general is what I was getting at.. I can understand your language, can you understand mine? When I say imagine you lived in China.. I meant imagine one lived in China.. I’m not harping on about your comments policy..and I was being complimentary on your policy actually.. be it from ethics or whatever.

Audrey – I’ll have to examine the comment policy guidelines again to see if I wrote it in an unknown language.

It isn’t about ethics. It’s very simple. You do not insult other commenters and they don’t insult you. That’s all it is.

If they make personal attacks on you and won’t stop, they get blocked. If you make personal attacks on them, you get blocked.

Is that hard for you to understand?

Everyone knows the policy and if they don’t like it they don’t have to comment. It isn’t up for discussion.

I think that it is a great idea, because with the firefox / IE / Chrome plugin the insults would be translated to any language!

I use autohotkey and probably I can make ‘hotstrings’ for all the STRs, so if I type STR13, then autohotkey will turn it into “Read the comments policy and behave yourself”… great fun, and probably more fun if you publish the STR table, and I do some random extract from it every time I type ‘STR’ I could probably answer most email from internet typing str str str regards miguel

str 4 to anyone who contradicts me. You might add str 15 “Go on, I’ll let you have the last word. It’ll be shit anyway.”

I like the idea, but I fear it would never catch on (taking the point seriously for a moment….(!)) because it seems to me that saddos who spend large chunks of their pointless existences slumped in front of comscreens spewing out garbage and vitriol, actually enjoy the feeling of their stubby, nicotined filthly fingers hammering out (unread) invective because it gives them the impression of actually doing something, a sensation they only distantly remember from before the last but one recession.

TheChrisD — Maybe you’d get together with Primal and see if you can develop this into something useful to the blogging community.

I love it. You just got a â€œhitâ€ from an old fart that does not know a Computer game from a hole in the ground. Well done. Would that others could see the nature of the contentious postings.

Right, I think I can use these tables to use dice rolls to generate responses.

So, SDC:11 and STR:10.
