I’ve fixed the broken comments feed. The RSS comments feed is at https://stilgherrian.com/comments/feed.

Word-whore. I write 'em. I talk 'em. Information, politics, media, and the cybers. I drink. I use bad words. All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris! Vive les poissons rouges sauvages!
if u want to improve your blog, change the way you display your postings. some of them dont have headings and the comments tag is in different spots – it can be difficult to follow.
@Fiona: Thanks for the feedback. The posts without headings are asides or, as I call them, “notes”. I don’t think a couple of sentences need all the grandeur of a title — though if you were reading this blog in an RSS reader you’d find that they do actually have titles “under the hood”.
The varying position of the comments link is a usability issue, yes, but I’m not going to give any priority to fixing that. The page layout is set by the Tarski theme, and if the Tarski authors fix it, fine. Otherwise I have higher-priority things to deal with.
In the time it took you to write the post above you could have fixed it. C’mon…
@Fiona: Sure. And the URL of your website is…?
Fiona, kindly fuck the hell off.
It’s Stilgherrian’s personal site. He’s entitled to do what he wants with it. He’s entitled to decide which bits he wants to fix – or even which bits he thinks are broken.
If you don’t like it, go away.
Oh, and the name it suggested for me? Again, the name (including tag) of the last poster on this comment. Would it be hypocritical of me to suggest that that needs fixing?
Oh stop whining.
you’re like one of my girlfriends (i’m guessing you’re either a girl or you’re gay). So this is how u carry on when someone tries to give constructive advice? I’ve got some advice for you: LOSE THE EGO
@Fiona: Pot. Kettle. Black. Watch the attitude. No personal attacks, thanks. I don’t care what you do elsewhere but when you’re in my space I expect a more civilised standard of debate. First and final warning or, as Zhasper accurately puts it, you can fuck the hell off.
(And before you bother with a “He started it” routine, it’s worth noting that the people who seem to get away with a “robust standard of commentary” here are old friends or people who’ve contributed to a more intelligent standard of critique. You have yet to prove yourself worthy.)
What did you say the URL of your website was again…?
@Zhasper: Nah, not hypocritical. You’re politely pointing out a real usability issue. But, like Fiona’s whinge about comment links being in different positions, it’s still a fair way down my list of priorities.
Stilgherrian: Now it’s trying to make me say my name is Fiona. Not On!
Fiona: You weren’t offering me anything, except an ad hominem attack. I was reacting to you being irritating, rude, and generally unwanted.
Stilgherrian: I apologise for turning your comments into a flamewar. I won’t do it again, promise. This little bitch can rot in a nasty dank rotting place, but I’m not going to waste any more attention on her.
This is getting hot in here. Fiona, you really should be in the politics, commenting constructive advice that gives us nothing useful.
@Zhasper: Slow night at work? 😉
Don’t worry about fanning a potential flame war, for two reasons…
You know, Point 1 there contains the seeds of far more interesting conversations, doesn’t it!
@’Pong: Nah in politics you actually need to understand how your comments will be received and the impact they’ll have on your own political capital.
“Nah in politics you actually need to understand how your comments will be received and the impact they’ll have on your own political capital.”
Unless you’re Peter Costello…
1. Still wanting me to use the last poster’s name.
2. I’m not worried about fanning a flame war, iffing it was justified. However, people who refuse to contribute anything except whining that other peoples sites aren’t built to their liking don’t deserve attention.
@Snarky Platypus: Yes, I did think that Costello’s effort, calling the PM a failed economic manager, was a bit of an own goal.
@Zhasper: I haven’t had a chance to look at that comment bug yet. Maybe on the weekend. Maybe not. I might leave it there a while to annoy you personally and deliberately.
Just for the record, Fiona just tried to post a comment which was nothing but a stream of personal abuse. It will not be published — and neither will anything else she writes.
