manxst Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I happened to notice earlier a page on IOM Today which detailed the latest NY honours, including that of the chief constable being awarded some medal or other. The page had at least 11 comments on when I saw it, but all comments have now been deleted and further comments are no longer allowed. Did anyone happen to see anything contentious, or has Mr Butt simply decided the deriding of Mr Roberts in the comments section of said post is unkind to his close friend, and hence removed the comments? http://www.iomtoday.co.im/article.cfm?id=59834&headline=Seven residents in New Year Honours§ionIs=news&searchyear=2020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 The comments on there are unfailingly mental, I don't know why they let them on any topic. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was humorous reading. But unless there was anything libellous etc, it seems as though the media are stopping the public from saying what they want? Especially when they’re deleted after at least 11 comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Someone was whinging about it happening on a different article last week over on twitter, can't remember what it was, but Richard Butt had replied so if you can be bothered you can probably find it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the deletion of comments about the DOI on Xmas day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxy Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 There's lots of civil unrest, earthquakes, floods, crickets, fires, lightening, storms about the world if you want to find it, but these aren't generally reported now as it might alarm some people 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
