Comments

It's nice to receive comments from regular visitors to this blog and I thank you for your continuing interest and support.

People like Meike from Ludwigsburg, Germany; Keith from Red Deer, Canada; Jennifer from South Carolina and Steve from West London almost seem like family to me. My association with them goes way back in time and of course they produce their own blogs which I keep visiting through the months and years.

You just need to look at my sidebar to get an idea of my blog orbit. In recent years, new favourites have emerged such as Bob Slatten's "I Should Be Laughing", Bruce Springsteen's Taylor's "Oddball Observations", JayCee Manx's "Nobody's Diary" and David Godfrey's "Travel Penguin". In blogging, nothing ever seems to be permanently fixed. As in life, you have to move on. No sense in always wallowing in the past.

I like the fact that some of my regular visitors do not actually produce blogs of their own. That doesn't really matter. Here I am thinking about people like Carol in Spain (Coppa's Girl), Ellen in Illinois and Traveller from I know not where. Thank you for coming here. I hesitate but I would like to use the term: friends. Yes, friends.

Occasionally, commenters will breeze in leave one or two comments and then disappear for good. Perhaps that will be the case with someone called "P.Wright". He appeared for the first time in relation to a post I published on September 14th.  It was about the Reform Party rally in London and the appearance of Elon Musk on big screens. I titled this post "Terrorist". "P.Wright" has only attracted ten page views and does not have his own blog. This is what he wrote:-

"A typical left wing post. You can't stand anyone that doesn't agree with your narrative. You crap on about 26 injured police but fail to mention that there were only 25 arrests. How many arrests were there at the Nottingham carnival?? Way more. You are just so full of hate for anyone that doesn't follow the lefties narrative it's sickening. We are all entitled to our opinions and l respect yours but there is no need for all the hate that comes from the left."

Little details in this comment caused me to deduce that it was posted in America and possibly by a Trump-MAGA supporter.  For example, he uses the expression, "Way more!" which is known in Great Britain but is not in common use. Also the pejorative term "lefties" is hackneyed in my country and rarely used these days but has traction with the American right. He also refers to the "Nottingham Carnival" when I am sure he meant the "Notting Hill Carnival". British people would not make that error.

Perhaps it was Elon Musk in disguise. The sentiments contained in the comment are certainly Muskian or Muskish and I must say quite disturbing. Clearly, "P.Wright" doesn't know me at all.  Unlike Julius Caesar who came, conquered and went, "P.Wright" came, defecated and disappeared. Anyway, if you are reading this "P.Wright" you are not welcome here and I am sorry to say that any future comments you make on this blog will not be published.
