D'you ever think it's kind of OOO that some blogs don't permit comments at all?

The chief executive of Gloucester city council's for example...

I'm thinking of 'ReBlogging' some of these here, and seeing if people want to take the opportunity to comment. Any thoughts on that?

Maybe that blog wasn't the best example of one residents might want to respond to, with hindsight...

Though here's one reason, at least, why Julian Wain might not want to invite public comment...

Gloucester Christians receive apology over leaflet ban

[Deleted]

TiG finally covered the story on Friday, after I posted a forum story on Tuesday. Some of the comments by Christians are genuinely funny. They seem to believe that they are fighting for justice for all, even though many people have made it clear that they don't want to be preached at or hassled to take a Christian leaflet. Their belief that the murder of Bishop Hooper was a good example of a Christian being persecuted for his faith in Jesus seems to sum up their skewed view of reality - he was burned to death by other Christians.

Those Christians were doing God's work, y'see...
