You are as welcome as a bout of diarrhoea in a bikini.
If you want to come and peddle your ill-researched nonsense here, you will have to be validated. No more anons. No anti-vaxxers. No more people with the research ability of a cockroach (and a similar brain capacity). I will not tolerate it. Better still, go and rant on someone else's blog. I moderate all comments and you will be plunged into the bin of ignorance. You will I am sure, be in good company.
If you are a genuine anon who wants to say hello nicely, you will need a Google account and an identity.
To the rest of my genuine friends, I have had a lovely day with my family. We had a lovely piece of roast pork and Gabby got the crackling perfect, not to mention the roasties. A glass of wine, lifted to cherish Keith's memory, and talking of our happy memories.
Tomorrow I will put the final stitches in the Brown Stripe vintage quilt. It has turned out well.
Roast pork,, roasties and a glass of wine. Nothing better x
ReplyDeleteIt went down well, I have to say. We ate mid-afternoon, so I didn't need another meal.
DeleteI had a vile anonymous comment a few months ago and had to stop people who were anonymous commenting. Now it is just people with google accounts who can comment. Sometimes it is just necessary to do these things even though I didn't want to as I have had some lovely anonymous comments in the past.
ReplyDeleteI've had some nice anons in the past. I think this is the first vindictive post ever - I shan't count the diediediediedie posts.
DeleteI don't mind the anons if they are sensible comments AND put their name to it....
ReplyDeleteWell, the anons can stay anon now, and I won't even know they are still drawing breath.
DeleteOh my gosh. I just read the anonymous comment. They have no training but they know more than any health professional. They have 'connected the dots'.
ReplyDeleteCorrelation does not equal causation.
It is the only sensible thing. Delete them without comment. Their minds are made up and facts will not change them.
When I was at Uni, we had "Archaeological Theory" lectures which could be heavy going at times as there were SO many different theories about different things. Just when you thought you had your head around one particular theory, someone else would come along and propound a new one! I am good at research - my personal tutor said I was a far better researcher in my subject than a particular well-known writer (now a Prof.) I got an Upper First for my Dissertation and it won a prize. I search in all the corners, balance out arguments, understand what cultural baggage other researchers bring to the table. The one thing we had drummed into us is you do not start with a conclusion and then manipulate information/other people's research to fulfil that conclusion. With an essay you start at the beginning and read deeply and widely and answer the question. Nor do you decide one line of research is totally credible and not consider other research that says differently. One example is a very flimsy base for an all encompassing theory.
DeleteYou are right, their minds are made up and one-sided and they are incapable of a balanced discussion. In the bin of ignorance they go!
The trouble is, the stupid people of this world seem to not realise they are stupid, and in many cases (I had an uncle like this) think they are really clever!! Hah - I think Trump falls into this very category :)
PS I am glad you had such a nice visit with your family.
ReplyDeleteIt was a really lovely day, made all the better by my gorgeous grand daughter.
Delete👏 I think we are all with you on the subject. Shared memories and making new ones with family is a blessing.
ReplyDeleteYes, making new memories is a wonderful thing.
DeleteThose anon comments were really uncalled for. Some anons spout rubbish while others are just downright nasty.
ReplyDeleteLove the 'Moderating Idiots' label you've given to the post!
And your roast dinner in memory sounds delicious.
Yes, that label seemed to hit the spot. Those comments were totally unnecessary and made with vindictive timing. They won't happen again.
ReplyDeleteI must admit to not having them offten, normally it’s some company from an obscure place in Asia but like you I moderate so they are not seen on here. I agree with you words just wish I could come out with something like that when needed
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've had one quite like that before (or rather two). We knew something was very wrong with Keith as apart from his walking and the shoulder and right side pain, his writing got miniscule (Parkinsons' sign) but the GP kept telling us it definitely wasn't Parkinsons . . .
DeletePerhaps 'anonymous' is one word that should be abolished on blogger. Not to say, all anons to be banished, there should be some way of 'recognition' of good anons. But I don't know how to do it, as I don't know how to do apps which is so frustrating at the moment. It sounds a good family get together, even (this from a vegetarian) the crackly fat on the pork;)
ReplyDeleteUntil someone has written something, you can't scan it for good anons or bad 'uns really. So I have just banned 'em all. It is easy enough to open a Google account so you can comment with a name.
DeleteSend them to the pit of no return. Mind you there are even some named people who have the research skills of an I don't know what.
ReplyDeleteYour day sounds like it was just perfect.
God bless.
Yup, don't need them in my life. They are folk who are a total waste of rations, as Keith used to say.
DeleteYes, it was a truly lovely day.
