He held one my comments for about ten hours, and I didn't know whether it was a spam filter catching it because I mentioned drugs and had a link, or because he didn't like my ideas. From what you've said, it looks like the latter. I don't have much time for people who mess with blog comments - deleting or moderating them. It is their blog, yadda yadda, but it feels intellectually dishonest and frankly the person is admitting to themselves and others that they <i>do not like debate</i> and that they do not feel like their ideas can stand up to scrutiny, argument and debate.

Well, he's back doing it to me again. I do wonder if supporters of parents right to discipline are more forthright and honest than people like Pokene. Holding comments, often permanently, and without acknowledging that you're doing it to others reading the thread, is a weasels way to give the impression that those you disagree with have run out answers.

Although Richard is holding a sledgehammer menacingly, I can <i>assure you</i> that the National sign was like that when we arrived! :-) In the first photo, you can see some wreckage of a John Key sign.
