In this guest post, Frank Convery responds to the various comments made on this blog over the past few days and the initial post by Richard Tol:
Holbrooke Shields and others re Censorship
‘Is Comhar SDC practicing a form of censorship by not publishing Richard Tol’s comment
Response
Tol’s comment was received on Friday 20th at 11:47, and it was posted Monday 23 at 09:59, as were the comments by Holbrooke and Lucey which were submitted on Saturday 21st . The delay was a product of the fact all comments have to go through an administrator because a huge amount of spam comes through, and the office is not staffed over the week end.
Conclusion
Discussion is appreciated and welcome. Keep paranoia at bay if there is a delay in posting. We’ll check out the management of Irisheconomy.ie to see if turnaround can be improved.
