Hagley Road to Ladywood, another splendid Birmingham-based blog, has some useful advice on dealing with blog trolls. Actually, I quite enjoy ripping the pee out of idiots like Wayne Kerr, but I suspect HRtL are right... it only encourages them. Sites like Guido welcome these sorts of jerks with open arms, but all they really do is use up comment space with their inane comments.
After reading that and seeing the LabourList blog I just had to go there and practice my trolling skills. I doubt that Mandy's new toy site will publish my comment though as it linked to this.
If nothing else a few people on both sides may get a giggle.
Quelle surprise, my comment didn't get published. Funny thing is that there are far more contentious comments there. I'm still perplexed as to why this photo gets far more traffic than this or this or any others there.
