Regular readers will know this blog doesn't give a damn about reputations - hence Blogpower. On the other hand, some of the major blogs are major blogs because of their quality.To go further, the way the blogger handles criticism, consistently presents his material day after day in a cheerful way and acts like a gentleman counts very highly in my estimation. That's why the comments by the moronic king cnut over at Iain Dale's are interesting.
Yes, I do delight in criticising the LibDems too and I make no apology for it. This is after all a Tory leaning blog. I make no pretention about impartiality and never have. There's nothing hypocriticial about my stance whatsoever. If you don't like what I do, no one is forcing you to return.
Can't help feeling I would have been considerably more cutting in my remarks but that always was a great problem for me in dealing with others. Blogging is a great leveller and can transmogrify an arrogant, opinionated prat into a [generally] tolerable blogger.
Hope so.
We have had our clashes in the past Lord what the flip you are today Higham- but I think you have always handled them with good humour- we disagree over a lot but I think its testament to the fact that you are a reasonable guy that people who disagree with you are your friends on the internet!
ReplyDeleteThat's a classy reply from Dale. I think you've always handled criticism very well, James.
ReplyDeleteComing from both of you, I really do appreciate those comments.
