As Anna says, this latest festival of cock-waving is just the latest in a long line of tedious “Judean Peoples’ Front” bollocks from that blog. When B & D run out of ideas – which is frequently – they just revert to attacking certain other bloggers.

I only came across them following Dale’s awards, when they were wittering that their award, shown proudly at the top of the page and boastfully blogged about, was pointless and meant nothing to them.

That kind of massive internal inconsistency, bordering on hypocrisy, seems to be their trademark. Whenever this is pointed out, they immediately attack the messenger.

It’s a shame because occasionally – very occasionally – they write some thought-provoking stuff, but on the whole its like rummaging through a jumble sale, looking for gems among the dross.

The only other entertainment to be had, which to my shame I indulge in, is by baiting them in the comments. Because they can be guaranteed to explode with rage, its almost irresistable to poke them regularly.

I really shouldn’t…

Just one small problem. You won’t find anywhere that Anna Raccoon has passed any comment on whether B & D are right or not in their boycott. In fact until Saturday you wouldn’t have found any comment for some months from Anna Raccoon on the subject of B & D or their viewpoint or anything about them.
Saturday OH made a comment about them on my site, and I merely responded that it made a pleasant change from them banging on about me. It did.
Your comment that OH and myself are ‘teaming up to take down B & D’ is totally incorrect. He has his views, I have mine. I write on his site, that is our only connection. We are not joined at the hip in thought or deed.
Today I finally went onto the B & D site and pointed out that despite their frequent claims to the contrary they have never been banned from my site, threatened with being banned from my site, told they were banned from my site or anything remotely like it. They have been moderated and they took great exception to that. They were already in a bad mood becasue I had pruned them from my public blog roll for no other reason than it was getting over long, they had never commented on my site, nor made any posts that I was interested in. My perrogative.
That was something like last April and they have been banging on about it ever since, frankly I’m bored witless by it.
In so far as I can understand, their main complaint against me is that I said support totally another Libertarian, Guido – and that is despite the fact that Anna Raccoon actually is banned from his site (oh, the irony!) not for anything I have said, but because my name contains the banned word ‘coon’!!!!
Apparently, according to comments B & D left on my site, you cannot be a Libertarian and ‘totally support’ anyone, even another Libertarian – although it seems to be the case that you can totally condemn someone…….
All very confusing, I shall be glad when the official B & D rule book of Libertarianism comes out and I can decide whether to stay in the party or not…..
In the meantime I would be grateful if you would not fall into the trap of bracketing my views with Old Holborn’s views, there is no evidence that they are even remotely similar. I have never claimed that anyone else either is or isn’t Libertarian.

Raising awareness of things being shit and encouraging them to boycott is exactly what Libertarianism is about. /facepalm

Bit of a storm in a teacup, in this instance OH and Anna are in the wrong, however B & D have a tendency to make mountains out of molehills.
I’ll still read them all of course, it’s usually damned good entertainment with some good points made on the way too.

Difficult to boycott that which you don’t already use.

I have sympathy for both sides of the argument. Would I rather the Mail didn’t print this sort of thing? Yes. Am I going to get wound up about it? No. Wailing about it just makes you seem a bit of a moaner.

In order for offence to be given, it must be taken.

I like both sides in this argument. Don’t always agree with them and I’m concerned that both sides are getting a little too worried about how many followers they have, but hey, that’s their choice.

BTW, I wasn’t on your old blogroll, but would like to be on the new one.
