Under attack

I'm at sixes and sevens, all at sea and in a state of terrible disarray - someone's criticised me on-line!
Eeeeek!
It cuts me to the quick, gentle soul that I am, that someone might call for me to be banned from commenting on another blog, but here it is:


Inventory2 says:
Can we ban Robert from sporting posts? He has no sense of fair play, and always wants to play the man/woman, not the ball.

That's the kind of bounder I am!
(Just so's ya know!)

(I'm a little unsure about the 'always wants to play the man/woman' thing. I'm as straight as a die!)

Oh Robert; I didn't realise you were so thin-skinned. You might have put the comment in context; that on a humourous post about the Highlanders' controversial new football jersey, you were, as is your wont having a dig at Hilary Calvert and Don Brash.

Stick to the topic, and other bloggers won't need to chastise you, if chastisemnt is such a worry.

Oh; have a nice day :)

You might have noticed that I don't agree with or endorse the views of all the people who comment on my blog Robert.

But providing they're not defamatory or crude I don't censor comments and I've yet to ban anyone from making them.

It all came about during a discussion over the Highlanders new jerseys...

Hilary Calvert designed it, Don Brash did the knitting.

GD – I think you could be right.

Robert – Yellow is Act’s colour but I don’t think they’d have used red.

I2 – am I allowed to say Robert’s comment made me laugh?

Robert may not treat sport with a necessary gravitas, but we must hope that it will come with time. Banning his insights into sport would be counter-productive. And I quite like the idea of Don knitting in front of Coro Street in his lonely flat after a repast of corned silverside and peas. Homely. and food for a latter-day Katherine Mansfield, in the mode of “Miss Brill”.

Ele, you're as patient as a saint and have a wonderful sense of humour.
If it wasn't for the fact that you're in Bill and John's pockets...

Keeping Stock said...

You've received a fair degree of latitude at other places as well Rob

And the ever-tolerant Inventory2 at Keeping Stock has been a trooper in letting me express my opinions on his blog. I know he shares many of my views - in a way, we're two peas in a pod (my pod's green, his is bright blue :-)

Keeping Stock said...

Alike as two peas in a pod? That might be a stretch, but I think we share similar values, if not ideologies.

You may also be interested to learn that I have invited a candidate from a rival party to post on Keeping Stock in the run-up to the election, even though he knows he won't have my vote.

Someone from the 'I'm Not in Love with John Key Party'?
That'll whip your readers into a frenzy Inv2 but good on you for extending the hand of friendship to the infidels!
