Weekend open forum

It's been a long week, especially trawling through Landeryou's dirty laundry. So we are looking forward to an early weekend.

In anticipation, you might want to turn your attention to the comments made by Dark Rider in early May.

What are your thoughts, dear reader. Given DR's constructive comments, what more can we do to deliver a better service to our patriotic and honest readership.

"Landeryou does try to muddy the waters. I note that the comment thread has shifted from the fake ads on his site and how they seem to be hyping an Ed Dale company, to a nonsense argument about Slanderyou being a plagiarist.

This is one of Landeryou's favourite tactics. It seems to me that an interesting point has been raised here and Landeryou is trying to divert attention from it through his normal vitriol and posturing.

To me, it says you should focus on the Ed Dale angle, Slanderyou. No offense, but your 'trip to Costa Rica' was pretty farcical, given the level of hype. If you're on to a good point, Landeryou will drum up some inconsequential crap (like that ridiculous blog award he invented) to distract people's attention. It's a fairly standard ploy used by hacks all over the world.

And Landeryou, I think it's great to see your blog being consigned to the mediocrity it deserves.It's great to see someone spending their weekends and evenings (as well as the rest of the day) on this crap, which essentially offers nothing of substance in the form of debate or information (because the source and motive behind the information cannot be trusted).

Oh, one last thing.

Slanderyou, Landeryou needs people to argue with him and be controversial to actually gain any traction.

Mayne's Crikey involvement certainly helped in that regard. Your current mix on the site, while not particularly hard hitting, isn't giving Landeryou the sort of conflict he needs to actually get anywhere.

So congratulations for that and keep up the good work. I can see you devote far less time to it than Landeryou does. Which you'd expect from people who actually have lives."
