Comments I am deleting

I'm keeping a list here of all the comments I delete. I have no intention of maintaining this in perpetuity. I have faith that most of the writers will stick to an unwritten code if it is made a little clearer.

ironically, one of them is yours jkitleft. please don't libel George Galloway on these pages. I've been in court with him once, don't want to be there again.

Well, well, well...

Hmmmmmmmm...

I'm not sure about this Hilton. I mean, I suppose that in case a post is clearly libellous, you should remove it - especially if it concerns Galloway, he can be harsh...

Having said that I hardly think you were right to remove the post I sent Loz... he spoke to me in rather high-tempered terms... The post about Lord Levy I guess you can remove - we all know what he is!

Not sure this is helpful, Mikael.  Alex edits the site and has every right to moderate it if he wants; the cutting seems pretty even-handed at the moment.

I think chilling would not be a bad move from everyone right now.

The light-touch editorial policy was starting to break down. I realise this is going to piss some people off but this isn't a private forum, it's a public space and the Tories are looking in here and laughing at us.

With you all the way Alex - it would be nice if we get back to debating ideas and policy and not petty micro-personal politics.

I'm with Alex on this. It is entirely correct to delete certain types of comment. There is a difference between moderation (good) and censorship (bad).

How about having a look at the Virginia Tech' condolences thread- seems to have fallen into a typically disgusting slanging match.
