This should be a fairly simple presupposition; Myself, I am a right wing - social conservative, and I have no interest in Russell Brown-nose and his "blogs for dummies" apprenticeship scheme, aka Public Address<BR/><BR/>I mostle visit right wing / conservative blogs like this one, TBR.CC, Whaleoil, NZ Conservative, Insolent Prick, because I am only interested in hearing conservative views - I have no interest hearing f*&ked up tirades of socialist/weasel-worded nonsense, and socially-liberal leftism.

Perhaps it's because they are Auckland centric, or place importance on aspects of a situation that do not resonate with me.<BR/><BR/>I stopped reading his blog months ago.<BR/><BR/>I considered signing on to his blog once he finally added comments, but he asked that people do not use nom-de-plumes.

I think I've said as much a number of times on SH when various posts were done on Russell by people other than me. In fact, the only post I've done on him way back when was when I heard him on the radio and agreed somewhat with part of his position.Lucia Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485990994973953860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38893560.post-56717306685269597442007-05-20T10:28:00.000+12:002007-05-20T10:28:00.000+12:00Now, Murray - I realise you're convinced the inter...Now, Murray - I realise you're convinced the internet exists solely to be an echo-chamber for your own opinion, but others are capable of stringing an argument together and defending it. Lucyna and Zen, unlike you, don't lack potency in this respect, which is one reason I visit their blog.<BR/><BR/>On the same theme, I noticed recently the "Public Address: System" guys were having a good chortle over the fact that, having spent a good year or more portraying Russell Brown as a coward, preventing comments on his blog solely to prevent right-wingers from demolishing his delusional posts, not one of these right-wing Masters of Debate has turned up on Public Address: System to do so (unless we count Dad4justice, but probably you'd all rather we didn't).
