Speaker: TPPA: It's Extreme, in reply to Danielle,
Sorry, didn't mean to be rude. Paul probably got the tone I was aiming for but not clear to everyone else.

The Press and the ODT also have websites

Hard News: What Now?, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
Does anyone else know if they have been granted salvage rights?
Been asking that for days; journos seem disinterested in finding answers

He'd probably enjoy the enhanced sense of victimhood #rraow

Lhaws has another crack at Brian Edwards (and anyone else with the gall to disagree with him). Clearly not competent at listening to what people say.
Dear Brian
I’m very pleased that you have been prodded out of your liberal senility to mount ceaseless ad hominem attacks upon my person … you join Russell Brown as another who can’t debate issues but must insult first, second and third.
I wrote a perfectly rational column as to why Asperger’s Syndrome is not an excuse for criminality.

Hard News: The Wall and the Paper, in reply to Rex Widerstrom,
I agree there's a distinction in the nature of the alleged offenses and I applaud you for trying a relatively novel approach, Rex. Just wouldn't want to see it treated as a substitute for using the existing complaints processes which can help apply pressure pretty quickly like we've seen before.
Mind you, if Fairfax bosses are as as blase as their hired help about publishing an incitement to violence then it might take a judicial jackboot up the jacksie to stir them into remedial action.

Hard News: The Wall and the Paper, in reply to recordari,
Just got the chance to watch Media7
Finished first half - gosh that weak squirmy editor was up like a jack-in-the box at the end, wasn't he. If Fairfax are looking to cut some dead wood I reckon that performance should help them decide who's adding value and who isn't.

Hard News: The Wall and the Paper, in reply to giovanni tiso,
I just don't like it as a way of bringing about results. It gives a bigger voice to people who are wealthier - and who enjoy more rights already.
Approaching advertisers and threatening a boycott doesn't need money to work - only credibility and organisation. Dispatching Mr Henry did not require the actual withdrawal of heavy wallets, only the promise of such. You could see it as taking advantage of perceptions of power entangled with wealth. And rich people are susceptible to moral persuasion and have consciences too.
