Predictable

... plus there are lessons here for readers to see for themselves. For that reason, this is a good cautionary tale.

There are two admins at OoL ... Julia and myself.  She takes care of the overall, plus comment moderation, I look after the tech side.

As part of that, I expressly agreed with the host that there can be nothing misleading allowed to stay up ... fully agree with that. Sometimes we might run something, or a reader might, which turns out not to be initially, factually, completely so ... this happens on X a fair bit, resulting in a "community note".  However, I've seen a "community note" to a "community note", disagreeing with the first "community note".

To my mind, that's fine, however ludicrous it seems, as it enables readers to see different angles. The one exception is that if something has been thoroughly debunked over a long period, e.g. Net Zero, then it gets short shrift at sane sites such as OoL, Julia's or ours across the way ... sites where we do deep dives, do our homework before mouthing off.

Uh huh.  So what's the issue?  This is:

Now, there's zero point arguing with them as it's a bit like someone trying to get justice for DJT.  So Letitia James flags it, on the phone to Obama, the case is heard in NYC by Jack Smith, with a handpicked anti Trump jury.  Hardly justice, is it?  Zero percentage for the defamed and that's the case with all issues today, e.g. the raped girls seeking justice or the vaxx injured and dead.

So, moving past that ... that post has clearly gone forever ... the more important issue is the toerag or toerags who "flagged" it to a known-known unjust committee and once again, truth bites the dust.

Now, moving even further along, Julia is a libertarian, I am a "classical liberal" in the sense of freedom afap but if there is a clear enemy trying to harm us or in blig terms, a hostile troll ... well it's insanity to allow them. Yes, so there are two readers only on permamoderation, put there by me, plus I request you use a moniker, not Anon by itself, or Unknown. Occasionally the Blgr comments mechanism plays up with that, so it's a fluid situation.

The libertarians and classical liberals can argue this point until the cows come home. It still doesn't alter the situation that some toerag flagged the post and I was given no say, except by kangaroo court or star chamber.

On the other hand, this is a known-known, par for the course ... we makes our choices, we takes our chances.  And we can never be free of trolling.  Just one more thing ... if by some chance anything happened to OoL, you know where Julia blogs from, you know where I do. Keep your eyes open, dear sane reader.
