To blame this on the US is absurd.
neil, seriously man... this blinkered allegiance to the colossal start-to-finish screw-up that is the invasion of iraq is admirable, but... really.
no-one in this forum is going to beat you down for admitting you were wrong.
well... maybe james. but we already know he's some kind of neo-con acolyte.

and then stephen posts a good reply.
thanks. will steal those ideas and use them as my own.

hmmmm... what about a flag on their IP or alias that puts a "rubber stamp" on any post they make.
the stamp says "troll", with a hyperlink to an explanation of what that means?
i get that "talk-back"-style commenters are a part of the blogsphere, but kathy's case clearly illustrates that left alone for too long and ignored, these guys just get crazier, and crazier.

leaving my weak attempt to slander mr farrar aside, and to return to the subject at hand, this issue of nutters able to make unfettered and extreme statements on the web is a pearler.
it also means i can talk about work!
there's a lot of curiousity in the public service about finding means to make online forums work. you know, increasing participation, direct democracy, blah blah blah.
but the one thing i keep coming back to is the prevalence of dickheads of the kiwiblog/just left/sir h variety dominating conversations with hysteria.
other than a new army of moderators, what can be done to limit these dicks?

and ben. your mate might be interested in this. ideas in blog
near the bottom he talks about just that idea.

i was lead to believe it was ladies kicking their heels up and having a good time.

i hear he loves watching pump-action.

ANSWER et al get their knickers all in a bunch about a few meatheads on the night shift at Abu Graib doing some stupid stuff to some prisoners, during which no one was injured for which the soldiers were punished
james... if there was ever any doubt that you are a troll, that statement has dispelled it.

I would like to know what those who opposed the war had as an alterntive.
neil mate, i've seen you trot out that line many, many times.
everyone agrees that saddam was a problem. the real question is, "is he a big enough problem to require the invasion and occupation of iraq?"
answer? no.
