Comment is free.

The Guardian.

The last bastion of free speech in what passes for journalism in oor United Kingdom.

Aye. Right.

I have no idea how the Guardian hires its wee moderators; I do know any comments that disparage feminism gets short shrift.

Fair enough.

So; responding to a comment on Edinburgh dialect, a London dialect person called me a 'dinlo*', calling them a 'rajcunt' gets me barred from the Guardian.

Fuck you,**

*No idea either.

**I was going to add such stuff as ' goat-fucker of Alexandria', but I'm sure Boris will get around to it eventually.

  1. Apparently, "dinlo" is a Portsmouth area word, for someone that's stupid. So calling him a rajcunt is, to my mind, acceptable.

    1. Cheers Jim. I assumed it was some sort of mockney word 'innit'. But you know you are being insulted by the context.
