He produced no evidence that he was hacked, the posts were never taken down and he admitted to making some of them. Given they were fairly consistent it seems likely that if he made some of them he made most of all of them.

You forgot to write ‘in my opinion’
Still isn’t hyperbole! |  | |  |

Some serious doubt he was hacked and he even admitted some of it racist posts. The evidence is right there, we don't have to read his mind.
Clear and disgusting racism is now "close to the line".
You carry on though, seems to be your thing to be as contraian as possible.

Maybe, like you, I just say what I think. Amongst many people you’d be contrarian.
I just hope I’m not as judgmental. [Post edited 3 Aug 23:52]

That isn’t hyperbole (eg an exaggeration), Liddle said he was hacked |
If you’re happy with that that’s on you. Along with his disgusting blogs. His complete disdain for victims of child sexual abuse.
He was a wrongun. You’ve nailed your colours to his mast.
Liddle was a c”nt. and you’re his mouthpiece.
I’ll not be continuing this. |  |

I don't just say what I think.
I've provided you with examples of his horrible posting. You've not countered any of it with any evidence, just carried on denying and excusing.
Given your posting since you joined I would prefer that you didn't attempt to construct any equivalence between us.

You don’t say what you think?
Your threshold for ‘evidence’ is rather low, or it’s low in the cases where you want it to be. He said he was hacked, you chose not to believe him. Either way, I still found many of his articles well worth reading. I could use AI to counter, but why would I?
As for your last sentence, how self righteous of you. But then again, given you don’t say what you think, then what am I to make of it? | | | |

You've deliberately changed what he said so you can belittle it. He didn't say he doesn't say what he thinks, he said he doesn't JUST say what he thinks. You don't do yourself any favours by thinking people won't notice.
If Liddel was hacked, why didn't he notice and edit/remove the offensive posts, some of which went back months? |  |

I take great heart in the tributes paid by so many different people to Liddle.
The fact that he’s been judged, like many others, by a few on this board would be water off a dicks back. | | | |

The evidence is he confirmed he wrote some of the posts.
Why are you continually ignoring the fact that he admitted to making some of the racist posts? You dismiss that known fact in order to concentrate on the unsupported theory that he was hacked.
It's poisoning the well.

What makes you think I ignored it? I’ve addressed it twice.
Would you also condemn him for the below?
From Rod
A small yield nuclear weapon, such as the American W89, dropped on Glastonbury in late June would immediately remove from our country almost everybody who is hugely annoying. You would see a marked reduction in the keffiyeh klan, for a start, and all those middle-class Extinction Rebellion protestors would find, in a nanosecond, that their rebellion was pointless, because extinction had arrived even more summarily than they expected. Go on, glue yourselves to that, Poppy and Oliver. | | | |

I knew he wrote pretty disgusting things and punched down on people of colour, the disabled, political adversaries, etc. But his wiki is wild. I was aware of him assaulting his pregnant girlfriend/former mistress, but this is nuts:
Talking about his former marriage… “In January 2004 the couple married at a ceremony in Malaysia. They had been living in Heytesbury, Wiltshire, and had two sons together.[92] Six months later, Liddle moved in with Alicia Monckton, a 22-year-old receptionist at The Spectator. It transpired that he had cut short his honeymoon with Royce so that he could be with Monckton”.. My emphasis. WTF?! Turns out he was in the affair before his marriage.
Not just ‘robust views’ eh? [Post edited 4 Aug 9:25]

I probably agree with Dame Jenni. |
“Probably”? Either you do or you don’t. You can’t have it both ways - you can’t both support Liddle’s writing of the article as you have done throughout this thread, and Dame Jenni’s condemnation of it - the two are diametrically opposed. |  |

Of course I can. I support it being written and think it was incorrect, crass and ill judged. What’s the problem?
I can also enjoy and gain something from reading articles from people who do bad things. It’s not a personal endorsement. History is littered with such people. The new liberal code thinks otherwise though. | | | |

There's a clear difference between viewing someone's contributions given the time in which they were alive and a man who was writing "controversial" weekly columns up until last week.
He is history now though! Sayonara. |  |

I had to look up sealioning.
I think you’ve misused the term for a couple of reasons.
I am not falsely polite. You don’t know me. I haven’t repeated the same lines, trolled you or harassed you.
I’ve not continually questioned your evidence. I simply posed an alternate view.
It feels like a tactic to try and stop me (and others)posting. Suggesting I’m at odds with everyone else’s views. It’s quite bullying tbh and totally condescending | | | |

The problem is you think you’re Schrodinger’s cat but aren’t.
Edited to add, in case you need reminding - supporting it being written and published means supporting the enablement of paedophiles. [Post edited 4 Aug 10:06]
