I don't want to censor them for several reasons. Firstly, as Munsterman says, the commenter only serves to make himself/herself look foolish, thereby negating their comments. And also because I think it is useful to try to understand those who disagree with us, even if they have trouble making their points clearly.<br /><br />I am an optimist and I hope that after a while all commenters will realise that the most effective comments are the reasonable, well-argued ones. After a while I hope that the comments will evolve into a discussion, rather than a shouting match. If I'm wrong then so be it, but then Munsterman's point remains valid.Horsemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062377461026943825.post-84000308414569665472009-11-17T09:56:46.206+00:002009-11-17T09:56:46.206+00:00Hoboroad wrote: I see the Tories in England could ...Hoboroad wrote: I see the Tories in England could be ready to de-select a candidate because she had a affair with a married man.<br /><br />In fairness, Hobo, the objectors say that what angered them was her lack of candour. All candidates are asked to make a declaration about any skeletons they might have rattling around in the cupboard, the kind of scandal that might blow up during an elction campaign. Truss kept quiet about something well known to everyone on the rumour-mill.
