Yesterday we had wonderful examples of double standards on the HoHo site. For hours they were planning a blitz on the McCanns, with talk of coaches, major cities, leaflets, Downing Street - I was waiting for a rallying call of a Million Hater March, but that did not materialize. However, it may later during the weekend. The plans got wilder and wilder, the suggestions more and more idiotic; a Major Celebrity is now being sought to front all this. There were the usual snidy and nasty remarks about Madeleine's parents but they were surpassed by the moronic posts setting up this 'Blitz' on Joe Public. This went on for hours and then suddenly a whimper "We are being watched, our posts showing up on all kinds of forums, BE CAREFUL, don't post up anything that will in any way compromise us" or words to that effect. A couple of forums were named, threats were made about police/legal matters; actually it became even more boringly idiotic as the paranoia built and built.
All the above is why this thread is about my take on double standards. In their eyes it is okay for attacks on the McCanns, verbally or physical, it is okay to organize marches, shove leaflets through doors, and so on, but it is NOT okay for anyone to expose their nasty and often libelous words to public gaze, it is NOT okay for forums to oppose their views, it is NOT okay for those who disagree to voice this out loud. All this shows up HOHo and her Stasi admin. It shows that they do not believe in free speech unless it is their sick and warped version; we know they cannot debate or discuss anything without threats, harassing other posters, banning them for daring to cross the party line and question what they see. The public will judge, so much of their hate etc is now viral.
(For anyone wanting to see what I am referring to please see the thread 'Paranoia Heaven' on this forum, the latest uproar is on page 3 and there is a link to a very good post.)
