During that ban you were unable to exercise your daily habit of pouring numerous comments on the main plod blog. The effects of that ban have been quite startling, Julia. <br /><br />What a dreadful thing it must be for any blogger to concede that plod are capable of manipulating their words. I am truly saddened to see your emergence as a turncoat puppet. <br /><br />To sell out in this way was a huge betrayal of yourself and the frank commenters who, until recently, gave years of loyal patronage here. You know the names of those who have deserted you. <br /><br />A deserved hardcore of commenters are now led by the despicable WPC Jade D and the certifiable Ranter. <br /><br />Your sell-out impacts negatively upon the wider world of free expression and makes this blog worthless.A salt and batterednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-57645061977342283392012-03-09T15:59:43.122+00:002012-03-09T15:59:43.122+00:00I see Dicky is worrying about housework today.
