  • Hard News: So-called celebrity justice,

    I know its your gaff and all so its your rules but is this not also a public place where people can say whatever and you cant be held responsible for that ?

    IANAL, but: actually, no it's not. Russell hosts the site and is responsible for the content.

    Perhaps if you're a believer in pushing the boundaries you might like to make a post on your own blog and invite what comments may come? NB: I really don't recommend you actually do this, but am surprised you haven't done so since you seem to feel so strongly about it.

    Hope I'm not being rude in asking, but: got room for one more? I would be ridiculously up for this.

    At the last count, Volgograd had a slightly smaller population than Auckland

    Yeah, well the Wehrmacht probably helped in that.

    Apparently several polls have called for Volgograd's name to be reverted back to Stalingrad, but so far no action has been taken! This is the kind of horror Yulia fled.

  • Busytown: A turn-up for the books,

    I just want to know if it's about this topic or some other one, really, so I know what to keep an eye out for.

    I think we can safely assume it falls within the context of this text con.

    Wow. There's news of some more bad -- no, appalling -- behaviour coming down the pike. Not my place to tell you, but it should be public soon enough.

    You tease us so.

    I love it that Advice Dog, Internets champion of unsound suggestions, managed to wind his way in there. 'Bout a fifth of the way through the Flickr set.

  • Hard News: Standing up and calling bullshit,

    Of the comments about my comment I have no comment other than to say I thought it remarkable that contributors to Public Address would try to get me in trouble with my employer by telling on me - an interesting approach to debate.

    Interesting failure to account for the content of said opinion and to, you know, debate the contrary views.

    This, very much this.

  • Hard News: It was 20 years ago tomorrow ...,

    You know, there is one thing communism is good for, if you look at the state of Tsarist Russia or pre-communist China. And that is taking hopelessly corrupt, ossified and pitifully poor countries and turning them into economic powerhouses within two generations.

    Although once you're there it's a bit of a job stopping ossification, corruption and poverty from eating the insides out of your economic powerhouse once again.

  • Hard News: Celebrity Gibberish,

    I hereby pledge $25 towards ticket and disguise costs for Keith Ng, and challenge others to do the same.

    Just what I was thinking. Anyone else?
