It's easy to let one or two get under the skin, but I read comments like those above and remind myself that the internet is just like real life - the huge majority of people are really decent peole, but there is always the odd dickhead trying to stir things up!

Ok intelligent maybe a bit too much to ask so i'll settle for rational and polite. Ok rational it is :)) As for Google I wish they'd automate the right to be ignored on certain other people's computers!!!

Even as the perennial gatecrasher who, as you might have noticed, likes to stir the embers of debate and then stand back and watch the sparks fly, I've no problem with moderation whatsoever. I'm forever amazed with our love of taking "points of order", to me it seems neither big nor clever. There are more important things to be concerned about. The links to this and that, too, is what th'internet is about.

It is nice to read an unbiased blog as opposed to one that licks the bus companies up the preverbial. Yours alongside the excellent East Norfolk Bus Blog are my favourite reads.

Tne reason I leave comments unmoderated is for every anonymous dickhead there are a hundred decent people posting courteous, intelligent comments. <br /><br />I haven't been down your neck of the woods for years but now Megabus are part of my life I intend to change that in the next few months. I'll let you know as and when and maybe you can guide me around the Plymouth bus scene!

When I started there were very few public transport blogs, and a few that were around then have since disappeared. It can be hard work making blogs a success so I like to try and help others as much as possible. Its good to see other blogs such as yours trying to do the same.<br />As for comments, it can be soul destroying to see nasty anonymous comments, but it seems to be an occupational hazard, especially as more people take notice of your blog. I only turned prescreening on as too many spam comments were getting through but with 'bus wars' in progress in Plymouth there have been quite a few comments on both sides which I have had to delete. Just dont let them get to you, and if it does get too bad then turn the comment checks on. Genuine people with something interesting to say will still leave comments!didbygrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01858408719372985035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425346921966365551.post-16865031285917848822014-09-22T18:15:28.695+01:002014-09-22T18:15:28.695+01:00Thanks Harry, and you just follow your own advice....Thanks Harry, and you just follow your own advice.

It's to much hassle to have to accept them, especially if I'm not online & the comments aren't posted within a few days.

One of the things I...Jim I couldn't agree more. One of the things I first commented on when I became involved in this scene was the lack of humour and over seriousness that prevailed in the enthusiast community. That's why I try to inject a bit of humour and get silly t-shirts printed for example. I let anyone use my pics, either what I publish here or Flickr as I believe we are all in this together and we should share and share alike as long as due credit it given, and the way some people jealously guard their sacred pics is downright pathetic. At the same time though, when people either too cowardly to say who they are, or who can't back up their accusations with facts make spurilous accusations I have a right to defend myself and will continue to do so.
