After I switched to moderated comments I received a slew of comments containing personal insults, and accusing me of being in the pay of the Dan Harris of the China law Blog (someone who CDE sees as a rival of his). This blog may not be fancy, but that's not the kind of garbage I want on this blog.Gilman Grundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06607416440240634159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138994904411225576.post-87292697181585520442011-08-20T22:26:41.585-07:002011-08-20T22:26:41.585-07:00I think your blog has great merits in standing by ...I think your blog has great merits in standing by the story and not allowing anyone to bully it off. And if it's your final decision, I can only respect your ban on any further comments of the kind appearing here - not to mention previous ones. <br /><br />That said, I believe that you have shed a lot of light on the issue. If someone else wants to add even further clues, I would suggest to let him or her do so, if no legal reasons speak against that. The commenter hasn't even changed his style - in my view, the source is the same as before, CDE or a proxy.justrecentlyhttp://justrecently.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138994904411225576.post-45015743195989082011-08-20T22:19:27.349-07:002011-08-20T22:19:27.349-07:00From a bystander's perspective, I can only thi...From a bystander's perspective, I can only think of the man in question when reading the "anonymous" comments. <br /><br />I can understand your decision to "call a wrap", Foarp. But it would be commendable if you didn't, and would allow comments in CDE's favor to appear on your commenter threads. <br /><br />You've done a lot to shed some light on the issue, and you haven't allowed CDE to bully the posts away - to let him shed additional light on it shouldn't hurt, would it? If anything is manic and repetitive here, it's his - brute at times - attempts to "influence people" and actually adding to your point.justrecentlyhttp://justrecently.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138994904411225576.post-77816519245622571432011-08-16T23:08:30.122-07:002011-08-16T23:08:30.122-07:00Yes, Chris has a life, this is why he repeatedly s...Yes, Chris has a life, this is why he repeatedly searches on the internet for people who mention his name, and then comments on their website from IP addresses which have already been reported to anti-spam services for spamming. <br /><br />OK, folks, I'm going to call a wrap on this.

Surely it's time for you to move on and do something useful. Really. But no doubt you'll want to suggest I'm him or have the final word in this dull saga.

For example, he has responsibilities, staff, offices, suppliers to pay and so on. You on the other hand do not. Before you start attacking people online it may be wise for you to consider your own position. Because as I said above, you come across as deliberately vindictive, almost obsessed with him. It's not level or unbiased at all - it's online flaming of someone. Your reputation is all about that one obsession with this guy. That's a shame, as you can write well. I'd recommend you try and get your obsession out of your mind and move on to something constructive and new.

He's still there, his business is booming, and that surely wouldn't be the case given all the exposure over the issues - which seemed to be more about misquoting a government official than anything really naughty. I'm not sure you've really called that particular matter 100% correctly, even though it may be your most popular post. Your rhetoric about him is not entirely unbiased either. I'd guess that's probably more about him being high profile than the subject matter getting you that high ranking thread. That's a shame, as otherwise you write rather well but I think that incident colored your judgment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138994904411225576.post-4548099841133784312011-08-14T04:41:47.419-07:002011-08-14T04:41:47.419-07:00Links fixed, thanks for the pointer!Links fixed, thanks for the pointer!Gilman Grundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06607416440240634159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138994904411225576.post-66879075187085930802011-08-14T01:22:29.261-07:002011-08-14T01:22:29.261-07:00I think you'll have to check your link on Chin...I think you'll have to check your link on China's relationship with Libya - it seems to lead to no post. <br /><br />Thanks for nominating my blog!justrecentlyhttp://justrecently.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
