    The most expensive part of moderating Bolts’ blog would be the counseling required to avoid losing faith in humanity, will to live etc.

    Has anyone tried to complain about the potentially false advertising on Blot’s column – “Australia’s most read columnist” & ” He runs the most-read political blog in Australia” . C’mon… Would consumer Affairs be interested I wonder..

    @DF – I’d love to moderate his blog – Whoever was doing it was probably overwhelmed trying to delete any criticism.

    Oh they can afford moderation, it’s the ensuing legal costs which worries them. After all, the creep has already got form.

    Lordy, facebook comments running along the lines of “This is a sad day for freedom of speech” and “Everyone one who thinks this is good must love Juliar”. For reals.

    How do people think losing a grotty little blog on a newspaper- because news Corp doesn’t want to pay for moderation – is an infringement of their free speech?

    I think AB was just getting confused in maintaining the ‘personalities’ of his sock-puppet army.
