Charge Mr Worstall £10 every time he leaves a comment on a left-wing blog.
Plus a £50 surcharge if said comment refers to \”Polly\” or \”Ritchie\”.
How the idea could be implementedSit back and let the money flow.
Heck.
Even I might support it. Be an incentive for Ritchie to stop deleting my comments, wouldn\’t it?
‘Be an incentive for Ritchie to stop deleting my comments, wouldn’t it?’
Sounds like a new definition for ‘mixed feelings’?
the left are funny. You see them on CiF “oh, yet more Daily Mail readers have I appeared I see”.
They’d rather be left in the comfort of no-one challenging their views than put them out in the world to be tested and refined.
Tim – when you say “the left”, I think you mean “people”. *Exactly* the same reaction can frequently be observed at right-wing blogs (particularly Tory-right rather than libertarian-right, but libertarian-right isn’t immune).
“Be an incentive for Ritchie to stop deleting my comments, wouldn’t it?”
I think he’d need to know what anti-avoidance measures were in place first.
