Attention George Potter!

[miss_s_b]

Am getting an error message when I try to comment on your posts about Lisa Harding. This is annoying. I don't know if the comments went through at all, but in case they didn't, I shall reproduce the one I left on the second post here (the one I left on the first post got eaten by the internet, which is probably for the best, given the juvenile level of innuendo I used in it ;))

Anyway, here is what I said:

"With regards Lisa; all of this has happened before - SSDD. If it's impossible to debate or reason with her, failure to engage shouldn't be a big surprise or outrage." [this is a quote from a previous, anonymous, comment to mine]

But, if George deletes his posts, how are people supposed to know? George didn't know because nobody ever says this stuff publicly; they whisper it in private messages and behind Lisa's back.

This /does/ keep happening with Lisa, and I'm amazed I haven't been a cause of it myself yet, but I think the reason for that is that I try to know when to stop, if only for the reason that I don't want to hurt anyone, and whenever this happens, Lisa is incredibly hurt by it.

Lisa herself may not see it as a favour to her to leave these posts up, but I think I do, if it means people know to tread more carefully around her and not cause her the enormous amount of pain that this will have done.

Ah ha!

Just seen this, sorry your comments haven't been getting through. I don't know why it is but I do apologise.

I'll post them on your behalf but I'm not really tech savvy enough to work out why you can't comment directly - are you trying to comment through a google account?

[miss_s_b]

Yup, google account.

Hum. I guess the only thing I can suggest is trying a different way of commenting - you should be able to use the drop down under the comment box to select OpenID or anonymous (technically pseudonymous) commenting. Sorry I can't be any more help - if I had the faintest clue how to do it I'd give people like you and Caron a direct hotline to the comment box :)

Damn it - forgot to use my OpenID for that last comment.
