Bernie, sorry, that’s a cop out. Karlin is a tech journalist and she has written a piece which can be taken apart by a lot of people who want broadband and are having serious problems getting it. Whether she is there or not for the week she will have to engage with the furore she has caused. Unfortunately, I don’t see her engaging or taking on board any of the valid criticisms that have been made.

Bernie, Karlin is far removed from Russell Beattie. He has a clue, doesn’t start and continue lies cos of a mate and then doesn’t use the whole “I’m being attacked by evil bloggers” bullshit that she has used. It is quite fair and ok to go off and do something far more important than tend to a blog and locking it down makes sense, but removing anything negative as she has done for the past week is spineless when it is combined with blog comments from herself where she slags me off even more. It’s quite unprofessional.

Go Damien Go!!
“90% Coverage”, “Not that expensive.” Where is she doing her research?

Everyone you talk to has problems with broadband or none at all.
And not that expensive? Maybe it’s fun for you paying as much as the full Sky Package for 1 or 2 meg broadband over wireless in a rural area if you’re lucky.

The pile-on mentality amuses those who don’t know any of the players. Sometimes we all need to step back from our streams of banter and just get away from the digital world. Some of us ask guests to blog on our sites or to post photos on our pages while we’re gone. I haven’t checked Karlin’s web place but it sounds like she’s got real things to do and blogging isn’t part of the schedule. If you let your comments run amok, you risk doing a Russell (Beattie) and just shutting down the commentary. To each their own, wouldn’t you agree?

This is the final straw I had found her to be farcical before this but this just confirms that she is her own ‘lifestyle’ reporter rather then a tech jouralist.

Drat Drat and Double Drat and at least 90% Coverage of Drattitude .

She has now closed her blog for 10 days ( this weekend followed by one full week) and no doubt hopes it will all have gone away by then

A Bit of Good Weather does have that effect in the Irish BlogoSpheroidCapsulerocracy

/me is not happy at all
