I don’t appreciate personal insults to anyone and no-one should take pleasure in being gratuitously rude. Balanced against this would be the fact that to censor what I cover though would seem to defeat the purpose of the site and none of what I have seen would appear to break the boundaries.

However, from what you describe, something really offensive has been done. I only read the public libraries stuff and nothing else on the sites and I have not noted this myself.

Please can you send me, anonymously is fine, what you find offensive and I will look at it?

In this instance you have an article which pokes fun at someone’s name. To fail to note this I’m afraid makes it look like librarycampaigners can be excused applying normal standards of common decency and respect. The website to which you link is frequently gratuitously rude to people and has gloated over some perfectly normal people who have tragically lost their jobs and thus suffered real financial hardship. Some things should be beyond the pale and this should not be ignored

I link to material that is (a) listing changes to library services in the UK and (b) written by/for supporters/campaigners for libraries. This is generally done regardless of content. Have you complained to the writer of the article directly?

And if not, why have you linked to it?
