He should have never deleted your posts (two of them now), if he had issues, he should have taken them up through a private conversation with you.<BR/><BR/>I think his latest post is appalling (just like Patty's was about me), but I doubt David will do anything about his bad behavior.

But if the rules of the site say that a comment is man playing, libellous, against decency etc then by virtue of the rules of the site the writer is within his rights to remove it. Mc Cann must have felt the comments were manplaying, and with the guvnor absent he had no appeal to any higher authority, so he must have felt the need to act. He's been there since the beginning and hasn't acted like that before so he must have felt it was very bad man playing.<BR/><BR/>If a site were to remove comments willy nilly then commentators wouldn't go there.<BR/><BR/>Open warfare between bloggers creates a bad atmosphere, gives entertainment to those who wish the site ill, and basically is in no ones interest.<BR/><BR/>It kicked off when you invited the man playing on to one of your threads. You broke the rules first and he followed.flibbertijibbetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11977927.post-9705256238377448222009-04-03T04:50:00.000-04:002009-04-03T04:50:00.000-04:00The writer of a post has control of what he writes...<I>The writer of a post has control of what he writes, subject only to the control of the owner of the site</I><BR/><BR/>No. A writer got the position because of his views, therefore the owner of the site already knows the views of his team members. Therefore he cannot control what another person writes, what someone writes is down to them especially if like McCann you put your name to it and stand over it. He's not hiding behind an identity on the internet, therefore mc cann is in control of what he writes. It's different if a writer is behind an identity, and the site owner is left with all the responsibility.<BR/><BR/>McCann is asking no one to do that. Thats how I see it.flibbertijibbetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11977927.post-14455365065390942842009-04-03T04:43:00.000-04:002009-04-03T04:43:00.000-04:00But those who read and those who comment will migr...<I>But those who read and those who comment will migrate to where there comments won't be messed with.</I><BR/><BR/>That would have been ok if you'd waited for it, I'm sure it would have happened, as it stands you invited them to move.
