‘Net Nanny’Candidate John Crawford may Cancel Caustic Blog – Tells Disciples to Rant Elsewhere
By Terry Miller
This is just too good: This just in, from the horse’s mouth.
After a couple years of boorish bashing of the opposition, offering nasty rhetoric, defaming and degrading his neighbors quite literally, Atlantic Record Spin Doctor-turned-caustic council candidate has finally admitted that he “might have to shut down” his contemptible blog comments. Stop the Blogomaticpresses! This is almost news!
Here it is, right from his blogosphere:
“I have always taken a very libertarian viewpoint on commenting on The Tattler. I never got into this to be anybody’s net nanny, and I have only removed posts for obscenity. On the other hand, I might now be in a position where I might have to shut commenting down altogether. If you have an axe to grind with somebody, that is fine. But please, start a blog of your own and do it there.”
Hmm, let’s look at this: Firstly, Mr. Crawford. I know some people whose posts you have removed not for obscenity but for opinions you didn’t necessarily benefit from nor deem worthy of your venerated blogomatic.
The Socially Tolerant Crawford:
“If you describe yourself as socially tolerant…” This – directly from the Libertarian manifesto: “then you are a Libertarian.”
I most humbly suggest, Sir, that your blog and the “anonymous” comments therein have been anything BUT socially tolerant.
Therefore, Sir (if in fact that is your real name), might I suggest you change your affiliation.
