Hard News: Holiday Open Thread 2:…, in reply to recordari,
Clearly you are feeling rather incite-ful this morning.
My bad. Although still not as bad as the show.
-
Glad I'm not the only one who finds that show absurdly over-rated.
-
I've wondered in the past: could it have something to do with the fact that one appears to be logged in at the time, even if they've since closed the tab in their browser?
-
Case in point: I'm subscribed to this thread, but wasn't alerted when you posted. (It's not in spam either, just checked.) I might get an email and then find that the discussion had progressed with other comments in-between since the previous alert. It's basically the reason why I stopped using the subscription option and just resorted to checking manually, I figured I'd give it another shot since the upgrade.
(I like the way you set it up though, that's a smart system. It just doesn't work for me for some reason.)
-
Am I the only person for whom the email subscription to threads works in entirely random fashion, so much so as to make it effectively useless? Used to be the case with the old system too, mind.

I think McKellen should turn up on the first day and inform Jackson that he has subcontracted his part to the equally capable Judy Dench.

Hard News: Behaving badly at the bottom…, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
And I will continue being spectacularly "ungenerous" towards people like Simon Power, Judith Collins, their shadow numpties on the Labour front benches and their ignoramus enablers in the media who think my rights and protections against overweening state power are an optional extra.
Actually, I thought you were being ungenerous to the defendants - who were handed a martyrdom they didn't deserve. But apparently you meant just the opposite, I take it. Good.

Hard News: Behaving badly at the bottom…, in reply to Sacha,
A bigger story, yes
Perhaps, but in the meantime we may also wish to pause and express unsmirking sympathy towards fellow citizens who are being denied due process.

Hard News: Behaving badly at the bottom…, in reply to Russell Brown,
I don’t see where it’s my job to be “generous” by pretending otherwise
Coupled with the jibe about Morse's 'hyperventilating' press release, by pointing out that the prosecution is a recipe for martyrdom you are shifting who is being victimised here from the defendants to the public. The public will cope, you know, in fact I'm pretty sure it will continue not giving a toss about civil rights, as it has thus far.

The "now the Uruwera 18 will be martyred and they don't deserve it", which was the tenor of a very ungeneorous tweet of Craig's after the news came out, is something I could have personally done without from you too, Russell. It's not about either of you, you know?
