You're so unerringly obsessed with the negative spin these days aren't you? As you're getting no traction with the slurs and allegations of nothing, what about doing a toadying post about how you agree with everything the National Party have done, are doing and will ever do? Or how wonderful Murray McCully's handling of the MFAT restructure has been? Or how adept John Banks is with the media, or how Louis Crimp is the perfect ambassador for the right?
Go on! It'll make you feel less dirty.
Here's a positive suggestion for you Holden. Start your own blog, and you can rant and rave to your heart's content about whatever you choose.
It's easy; even a technical neanderthal like me was able to do it! And then we can all come over to your blog and tell you what do do, andd launch ad-homs, and link you to terrorists and all that kind of stuff. That would be fun, wouldn't it!
You won't do it though, will you? You see, maintaining a blog requires a bit of commitment and hard work, as even the likes of Robert Guyton and Robert Winter will attest. And it requires a good deal of patience to deal with people who hang around like bad smells trying to demean everything you do. Try it; you'll see what I mkean. But I'm willing to bet that you won't; you'll just take the easy way out, and be like a parasite, feeding off everyone else's efforts to give your own negativity a platform.
You're on notice Judge; ease up on the trolling, and in putting words in my mouth, or you'll become only the second person to be banned here in five years; unlike The Standard or Red Alert where they'll ban that many people in an hour.
Stop referring to yourself using singular pronouns. You'll confuse people.
And I see you've taken my advice already. You're welcome!
Are you suggesting that banning you would be a positive step Judge?
There's the rancid smell of a banning in the air here at Keeping Stock, again! What is it about 'we's' blogging that invites such persistent criticism and charges of hypocrisy? Could there be substance to the charges? Does Keeping Stock/Inventory2 merely 'shill for Jonny' and slam Labour at every turn, the way his/her detractors repeatedly claim?
More to the point, has KS learned anything from his difficult customers? You'd have to think to yourself, wouldn't you, that someone was trying to tell you something. There's a well known saying, isn't there, about repeating behaviours and achieving the same results as ever you did. How does that go? One of the results, Keeping Stock, of your behaviour, is collecting the Anons, Holdens and Guytons of this world. They're here because you're here. And not in a good way.
It's not a political thing, KS.
(Hint: It about integrity.)
KS - If you'll bear with me for just this comment, I believe I can help you with this issue of pest invasion. I was, and Judge Holden is, pestering you. The reason for that is simple: you don't allow free expression here. You think you do, and I have to say, there is to a degree, some breadth of discussion, but it's your insistence that it's your blog, your choice of topics, your rules, that is your weak-point and the very thing that causes you issues. A more open policy from you would, in my opinion, largely stop the hounding you get. You are fearful that the 'opposition' to your message will overwhelm you, and so you seek to control it by demeaning, belittling and even banning, your naysayers. You've moved in the wrong direction with this. If you allowed your commenters to say what they think, and others to counter their views(even letting the post go off in a direction you don't want or don't expect) should they chose to, you establish a natural balance and not have to intervene all the time, the way you have to now. It's like using a pesticide in a garden, if you'll allow me to venture into my own area of expertise :-) By spraying to kill, you destroy your natural buffers and population controlling bugs. You do that here. let your 'pests' have their say, leave the 'Pest-Ban' in your spray-pack, allow a natural conversation to develop - your blog will be healthier for it. I don't expect you to leave this comment up - you'll have gimps like jabba all over it, demanding that you 'put your foot down', but really, Inventory2, just as a plague of aphids can alert you to an imbalance in your garden, so can an infestation of pests. Oddly enough, my advice here is well meant :-)
(*Prepares to be cast into Hades boiling lakes of fire)
Oh Robert; you were going so well until you made that "I don't expect you to leave this comment up - you'll have gimps like jabba all over it, demanding that you 'put your foot down" jibe.
I won't delete your comment, and I do believe that it is well-intentioned, albeit with an agenda underlying it. But I would counter that I am far more tolerant than most, as you can probably attest.
Anyway, leaving the comment up serves a useful purpose; look at the comment above, and see how one could form the opinion that they were the products of the same author; food for thought n'est ce pas?
No one has mentioned Andrew Little, or the fact that he has been served with Court documents.
Does this mean that Judge Holden,Llaruss and robertguyton control the content of this blog?
You are being bullied, Keeping Stock.
Cdr
Indeed Anon (10.46am) and Anon (10.48am); isn't it strange how the Left avoids discussing the issue at all cost?
I'd talk about any of them. I've no fear of discussion. Little? I've heard he's been served. Is this exciting news somehow? Shane Jones? He'll be cleared of wrong-doing. David Shearer? he's not been toppled, as predicted here. he's doing well, keeping a regular face to the nation, not being a smart-Alec Key-clone and will cause National to fall over at or before the next election. Who else would you like to discuss, KS. I don't want you to feel bullied though, by this brute from the South.
Don't outstay your welcome Robert...need I say more? I was tolerant of your helpful advice, but that's as far as it goes.

Keeping Stock has a ban?
Clayton's ban, more like :-)

(Lifted straight from Bryce Edwards' 'Liberation', to counter some of the relentlessly anti-Shearer drivel that Keeping Stock spews, Linda Blair-like, into the blogosphere :-)

He is your all-round nice guy, KS, mocking you behind your back.
Cdr
Thanks for that Cdr; 'nuff said methinks. It is not without good reason that Mr Guyton was banned, reinstated, then banned again.
Cdr is right. He's evil.
He's not evil, he's just another person on the internet who says all sorts of things on line that he would probably think twice about saying to the persons face.
I do wonder if the good people at radio live knew about the kind of stuff he used to post here when they deciced to give him a slot on their gardening show...
"He's not evil, he's just another person on the internet who says all sorts of things on line that he would probably think twice about saying to the persons face."
Like it's a pity Anders Breivik didn't murder them or something? You're right, you wouldn't dare say that to anyone in person.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Oh, so you didn't say this:
"I don’t have any answers, but shooting up kids camps doesn’t seem like a winning strategy to me. I could sympathise a bit if he had gone a bit more Guy Fawlks and rid the world of a few oxygen heaters (politicians and bureaucrats)."
Note the lack of moral condemnation. Breivik's mistake was choice of target. Nice.
Just a stunning lack of comprehension on your part. Try reading it again slowly.
oh, yeah, way to take a single comment out of context too. buy that man a DB.
Holden - I have no control over what people say on other blogs, especially those I choose not to visit.
Final warning; do not start flame wars here, especially over Anders Brevik. I am not interested in your cyber squabbles from elsewhere.
robertguyton's first post on this thread = bullsh*t
"Stop referring to yourself using singular pronouns. You'll confuse people."
Who do you presume to be to tell KS/I2/etc how to run their blog? This is a free society, if you don't like it then take a hike! Perhaps you are the only one that gets confused?
Ad hom attack in 5,4,3...
