“Left-wing” blogger Calls For BLACKLIST!

July 17, 2013

miglo

Self-professed “left-leaning” blogger Michael “Miglo” Taylor, has called for a  banning of online commentators who fail to adhere to certain, and as yet undefined,  standards when commenting online.

Specifically, Mr Taylor has called for the introduction of a “BLACKLIST” that would see some members of the public automatically banned from making comments in certain online forums that are otherwise open to everyone else.

In what is widely regarded to be a world’s first, Mr Taylor has called upon the administrators of a number of online web discussion forums, often referred to as “blogs,” to impose a ban on participants based on their political views.

Speaking on the left-leaning blog The Political Sword, Mr Taylor suggested an “online blogging model”  whereby:

“if a person is banned on one site then that person becomes automatically banned on all conforming sites.”

Really…??

What constitutes a “conforming site?”

As a site that champions, as far as possible, the right of free speech, we are left gobsmacked  as to why a so-called “left-leaning” web site administrator could possibly think that this is a good idea..

    • Provides the personal names of contributors
    • Cultivates delusional dumb types
    • Specifically promotes a blacklist, seeking to suppress alternative, progressive opinion
    • Kick starts his blog utilising dubiously obtained email addresses

    An outstanding contributor to “left leaning” blogging!!

    (more red please!)

    Oh how surprising that Michael is resorting to totalitarian tactics !

  5. July 17, 2013 8:51 pm

    Simple solution: If you don’t like the comments on your blog, block them! But with respect to other blogs, who is/is not permitted to comment is their business.
    It’s up to the blog owner to determine what kind of commentary they’ll permit!
    And this guy is supposedly left wing? Sound more like a conservative busy trying to make rules on free speech!

    Seriously Rev Reb? You have been waiting to put the boot into Migs and this is BITCHY AS. Well I will draw your attention TO Iian Hall as to how banning works, in the 5th estate. How when I was in hospital fighting for my life, he called it Karma. Migs has an observation which is valid and you in a bitchy post are in denial… Yeah good work mate… Public masturbation mate build a bridge and channel your energies into Anti Abbott

    Really Ricky?

    A “left leaning” blogger seeks to spread his personal grievances and bitterness to unrelated sites by advocating the banning of the people he selects, and you think this is reasonable?

  9. Tom of Melbourne permalink
    July 17, 2013 10:24 pm

    By the way Ricky, this is exactly what Miglo is proposing –

    ”I’ve recently given consideration to us bloggers having a blacklist that we all share, ie, if a person is banned on one site then that person becomes automatically banned on all conforming sites.”

    Now I’d be surprised if even you consider this proposal appropriate for anyone, let alone a “left leaning blogger”

    Anyone would think that I had been lurking in your hospital room trying to turn off the machine that goes “Ping” from the amount of whining that you have done about that one instance of dark sarcasm. Sarcasm that was orders of magnitude less offensive that the crap you have thrown at me.
    On the other hand your constant whining about nothing has actually proved my suggestion about Karma was right on the money .

    Do you think TISM had him in mind in Morrison Hostel?

    Yes egg, it’s interesting that Nasking could advise against Miglo’s BLACKLIST approach.

    Some background is that Nasking had a HUGE falling out with Min and Miglo (they fall out with pretty well everyone, oddly). Nasking was banned from their site, and posts that referred to the name “Nasking” went straight to moderation.

    Nasking turned to TPS for his blogging.

    Under Miglo’s BLACKLIST, Nasking would have been banned from TPS as well!

    What a tool Miglo is.

  29. July 18, 2013 10:05 am

    “they fall out with pretty well everyone”

    What ever happened to Pip?

    Did they have her taken out, or was she simply banned too?

    I went looking for the post you refer to, sreb … because I couldn’t believe that anyone would think that – let alone write it!

    The concept is contraire to blogging itself!

    Ad Astra, I appreciate your efforts in taking out the rubbish. I’ve recently given consideration to us bloggers having a blacklist that we all share, ie, if a person is banned on one site then that person becomes automatically banned on all conforming sites.

    There are plenty of sites that cater for their rubbish where they would certainly be welcome. But not ours.

    Michael Taylor

    And then I read the Farnham bear’s comment … and thoroughly agree (even though I am a right wing troll – among other strange things) …

    MIGS,
    SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING YOU’D EXPECT FROM NEWS LTD…OR SOME COMMIE REGIME…OR FASCIST CORPORATION.

    PROBABLY BEST TO LEAVE THE DECISION UP TO EACH BLOGMASTER ETC.

    THE IDEA OF CREATING A BLACKLIST BRINGS BACK BAD MEMORIES…MCCARTHY ERA, REDS UNDER THE BED, NAZIS ETC.

    N’ nasking

    Quite succinct for N’ too … why does he write everything in block letters? (EGO – you cry!)

    Otherwise they have to put up with being reminded about Craig Thomson being a crook, and Julia Gillard being a handbrake on the ALP and that not all Gillard critics simply fell into the pro Abbott bucket.

    I await the outcome with interest.
    Some of us who are continually called ‘leftwing’ by those who identify with teabag extremism actually do think craig thomson was set up in another of the lib party con jobs to overthrow government through abuse of the legal system. I have never been convinced that thomson was not targeted as another lib mafia hit, same as the slipper/ashby saga. Just too many lib party connections, conflicts of interest and refusal to answer questions by disgraced FWA VP lawler [never mind the conspiracy between lawler/jackson/libs]. Once more the lib party mafia use dirtbag tactics and activist partisan, political players in the state & federal police and the judiciary to pervert natural justice and change public opinion through trial by media. All that’s missing is the lynching. Of course their own sordid dealings when exposed are just excused and accepted by all who should hold them to account.

    Not saying thomson has not done anything wrong, but lots of managers/employees abuse the credit cards they are given without such publicity, legal action, exposure and histrionics. remember howard even had to lower the accountability bar after losing too many ministers through fraud & dishonesty.

  89. July 20, 2013 2:10 pm

    “lots of managers/employees abuse the credit cards they are given”

    True. However if they caught, they get sacked.

    Also who can forget Thomson’s teary-eyed performance in Parliament, where all quivering lower lip, he denied using his credit card for prostitutes…

    It wasn’t him, it was someone else, or it was a stitch up by his enemies, he declared.

    Now, according to his lawyer, they’re no longer going to dispute that the charges are his.

    He’s a pathological liar.

Go on say something, you'll feel better...
