Downtime earlier – and another lunatic invades

I’d like to apologise to anyone who had trouble accessing the site earlier: this was, as far as I can tell, due to a problem at the host’s end, and not down to yesterday’s minor traffic spike or due to the presence of this cretin in the comments section causing the server to fail because of the stupidity in the air.

On the other hand, I’m incredibly impressed with NearlyFreeSpeech.net, who dealt with my support request in no more than twenty minutes. For almost a year now, they’ve hosted this site practically for free in comparison to the amount of money I spent with 1&1, and this customer service is the icing on the cake.

    It is not common practice to call your visitors names, especially in an actual post.

    Maybe you should remove the comments section altogether if you don’t want to be inconvenienced with views that differ from your own narrow ones.

      You’ll note how I am allowing you to air your views, however. I’m not censoring them—you’re free to believe whatever you like, even if it is Dark Ages-level ignorance and quackery.

      Tough luck, Stewart: welcome to the Internet.

      I need not remind you that as speedily as the privilege for you to comment is extended, it can be withdrawn. Any further comments which show yourself to be incapable of debating in a reasonable manner (that is, without slagging godbotting or Mailbotting) shall be swiftly disemvoweled… or worse.
