The blubbery one's glorious estimation of his own talents is surely one of the funniest things about him.
After reading the DHC column, I had to go and look, and he's still the kind of fool you laugh at , not with .
He really cannot write, and he has the self-awareness of a concrete bollard.

By removing it but nothing else it was still out there, with no disclaimer or notice attached.
In general, I think an annotation about what you've removed is a good idea.
I had to take out a couple of things from the Veitch thread over the weekend (one nasty, the other a baseless claim about someone else) and rather than simply making each disappear, I noted what I'd done.

If he's thinking of it not as a whitewash but simply no longer distributinga particular (internet) publication, then what he's doing makes a manner of sense.
I suppose so, but as everyone else is pointing out, it's the manner of it. He's terribly fond of denouncing other people ...

But when that happens, and you've published the former opinion, the only thing to do is admit you've changed your mind, and say why. I respect that, and I suspect most right-thinking people would too. Pretending you never had the previous opinion is just lame.
Exactly. It's not that you've changed your mind -- that's often a noble thing to acknowledge -- but that you've acted as if you never held the original opinion.

I had that catch-in-the-throat moment too--the song with the refrain "unlock my heart" (can't remember the song title).
'Unsuffer Me' from West .
Spine-tingling.

Little Rock Star was a cracker on the night, probably my fave ...
Oh yes. But Russell Baillie didn't think so:
She and her backers produced plenty of guitar-scorched thrills but just occasionally turned bludgeoning plod on some of her lesser numbers like the Amy Winehouse/Pete Doherty-inspired Little Rock Star ...
Lesser numbers?
Ahem. Really.

Islander, yes! Me too. A major NZ weekly, which used to promptly and courteously remind its freelancers to invoice as soon as the piece appeared in print, has now stopped doing so; as a consequence, timely payment seems to have slipped off the agenda as well.
From an editorial point of view, this is such a false economy. Any freelancer is going to be more prepared to go the extra mile for a publisher who pays promptly and reliably.

Have a look and a listen. I'm thinking of starting to charge for this service:
Maybe you could offer an optional subscription -- better in various ways than per-view payments -- with an occasional premium for subscribers: a free download, a discount at Marbecks, etc.
I think there are certainly people who'd be happy to chip in to help you keep doing what you do. And, of course, you can have some free advertising space here.

Essence ...

Kerry - wow. Well done. Wow.
It's hard enough parenting teenagers* without extra lumps thrown in. You're a bloody star.
She is. I worked that out a while ago.
