Why you are an A##hole

By

News24 announced today that they are turning off the ability for people to comment under each article as from Friday 11 September – another 911 moment one would think from all the vitriol and hate that that decision has engendered!

But first the following image formed part of the #news24comments stream and came from Laura Shortridge [?@DiscordianKitty] who said; “#news24comments this can’t be spammed enough” Spammed? Really? Who taught you English Laura?

Now you know why

Funnily enough it made me think of a certain impresario who actually thinks that the way to get free advertising is to insult people and I would like to point him to the middle panel in the bottom row which kinda sums it up for me.

Anyway – at this time we at MyPE do not have any plans to stop the ability for you to comment on any of our articles BUT will continue baiting you and pointing out any wrong things you say in such a way that you will continue to enjoy the journey but always wonder if we were thanking or insulting you. Of course we still hanker back to the days when forum discussions were exactly that – discussions on a level that was inclusive, respectful and free for all – a place where professionals and traders could engage and grow. So, if we delete your comments please refer back to the panel above, and quietly leave through the door provided.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
