More old Ramsgate fishing smack pictures and the complicated art of commenting on blogger.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
Hi Michael good to see that you are still blogging I myself have not bothered for some time one of the reasons being the problem of rich people and greedy lawyers happy to restrict open debate with spurious defamation proceedings however for what it is worth my view is that I in common with everyone else will press the button that says publish and assume that that makes me liable unless of course the comment is moderated which case I would assume the moderator would assume was some of the liability for the comment.
ReplyDeleteStill it's a real pity that so few people continue to blog particularly if you look at the state of local newspapers
