Dear Talkback participants, You may have noticed that we are being served by Slowman, the notoriously and exceedingly slow censor. This can also explain the disappearance of the censor for the last few hours. Slowman comes in every few hours, allows a few posts to be published, then disappears again. The rest of the posts languish in limbo until, perhaps, they are allowed to see the light of day towards the end of Slowman`s shift. (He does want to keep his job, after all.)
Who can possibly benefit from this state of affairs? Slowman himself ends up doing the work, although so many hours after the fact that nobody reads those late posts any more. The end result of the Slowman system is to choke the Haaretz Talkback to death. And the beneficiary is the Jerusalem Post naturally, the Haaretz competitor.
My thesis: SLOWMAN IS A PLANT OF J-POST IN HAARETZ. Please share with us your thoughts on the matter, and what to do about it. Thanks. |
