Nazis are stupid

Imagine you are hosting a racist, and unpleasant website and you are hosting it on, say for example, blogger.com

Now imagine that blogger.com decide to delete said website because of it’s general offensiveness and breach and what haveyou.  Would you go back to the same host to continue running your site.  An intelligent person would say no.

But then if you are like the owners of the South Africa Sucks blog, you can’t be all that bright.  After google deleted their blog, they created a new blog, on, guess where, blogger.  Now they can bitch about google blogger deleting their blog, while using google blogger to do it.

Remember kids, boneheads are not very bright.

In the event it doesn’t see the light of day on Something.ie

Well the comment I posted last week is still awaiting moderation

Response to this post

Something.ie did not get permission to publish my work on their site.

Leeched, leeched, leeched, leeched.

The work belongs to me, and Limerickblogger.org, and authorised agrigators are permitted to distribute it.

 UPDATE: It appears that moves are afoot to undo the problems I have had with this website.  The Leader content is being attributed to the Limerick Leader and so on.

I still have an issue though, although it no longer affects me as it once did, with the original posts of bloggers not being linked through the story headline on Something.ie  On the site, you have to click on the authors name to get to the original content.

I do not, and never have, contributed to something.ie

Not one to go jumping on the band-wagon here, but a post on mulley.net, and mamanpoulet.com relating to the website something.ie prompted me to write this after having a cursory look at the site.

Releases by the Limerick Leader newspaper which appear on the something.ie website are NOT being submitted by me.

For the record, I have never written a post for, or given permission to something.ie

In the past, something.ie scraped posts from a site I used to own called limerickblogger.org.  I never gave permission for them to use any content from that site on their own site.  The amount of trackbacks from something.ie at the time resulted in me marking the phrase something.ie as a blacklisted phrase so as to stop between five and ten spammy emails coming to my inbox every day.

Now, as you can see from the image above, they are attributing content that wasn’t even written by me, to me.

Irish independent smear on blogs – we are racists now aparantly

Anyone see this nice complimentary piece on blogging in the Irish Independent claiming that those fringe racist blogs are the more popular ones?

The paper has been smearing bloggers for quite a while, while at the same time ripping off posts from them.

Recently, I have been increasingly drawn into the sweaty-fingered, murky world of the internet blog. It is a world full of possibilities, debate and opinion, but it also never fails to leave a bad feeling in my stomach.

The “journalist” goes off on a rant about how the most popular bloggers are somehow racist and claim that our own race is genetically superior.

This is a load of crap.  The only blogs supposedly originating from this country which contain this content are probably the lowest read

As someone who has received threats of a physical nature from certain members of this ideological  viewpoint I can honestly tell you that these racist bloggers are fiew and far between.

The paper simply trying to create an opportunity for itself to attack an area of new media which is proving to be more interesting than themselves.
