In response to Annon I am neither frustrated or deluded. In fact I was deluded believing that people in "authority" were reasonable, human beings and I was probably naive. I am in fact married to a policeman so am used to the cynical ramblings! but am not used to nastiness and vindictiveness (is there such a word?) So, you, Anon have opened my eyes to what people have to put up with!! I am not so naive as to believe that all prisoners are nice people who have made a mistake either! However, I have read Ben's blog from the start and have sympathy for him and the family of his victim.Annnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-17955347017295329582012-11-20T14:50:38.088+00:002012-11-20T14:50:38.088+00:00Thought of in that way by whom?

When I get annoyed etc on various sites I leave my counter-argument; if I had to resort to abuse would feel rather pathetic. Others' obviously don't have that inhibition!<br /><br />I detest censorship. The best way to defeat the stupid or the dangerous is to allow their views to be heard loudly - and then judged and discarded.<br /><br />At the same time, I have always said that I would not allow the blog to be jeopardised by trolls. Comment Moderation is plain wrong (and inefficient) but deleting comments which are not on topic may be a sensible middle path.<br /><br />Whether people chose an Avatar identity is not something I worry about, although it makes it complicated to follow a conversation if Anons are all piling in. It is a matter of seconds to select a (fake) identity and I hope regular Anons do so for the sake of readers.<br /><br />I could install IP tracking software that allocates an Avatar to repeat offenders, but I hate the idea that I could track anyone in that way. I wont do it.<br /><br />This issue has become more prevalent since my release; I wonder why? And it is one that we will struggle with always.<br /><br />Meanwhile, cogent and coherent comments are always welcomed, even if they are to disagree with whatever I am saying.<br /><br />Sad jibes are to be ignored or jeered, depending on mood :)prisonerbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923205052778958118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-65972672763797649282012-11-20T10:06:12.496+00:002012-11-20T10:06:12.496+00:00An ex con with a platform which puts you in the fr...An ex con with a platform which puts you in the frustrated camp I'd say going by the evidence of you spitting your dummy out on each and every occasion. or is it more like falling out everytime you open your mouth?

Whether or not he is right is a matter for debate, and given that this conversation that Ben wants to have with the public in a public domain is open to all to view and to contribute to then participation in that conversation should not be dependant on one supplying identity or other credentials, and the absence of such identity does not make any view any more or less worthy of consideration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-43727582540504741972012-11-19T14:47:29.215+00:002012-11-19T14:47:29.215+00:00Lol.....
