It would be very interesting to compare the number of posts made by Ken before last year's election, to a similar period post that election. This comparison, if possible should include all the voiciferous politicians from all sides of the political spectrum

Please consider that after election he has more pressing demands on his time.

Also he told us that he had had his internet hacked into and has been deliberately offline for two weeks...unless you doubt the veracity of that statement.

I don't doubt that his Internet was off, I just wonder why he chose to attack the site in the way he did.
Had he left it to the members, I'm sure one of us would have asked for proof of the post that caused him to attack us, rather than the poster.

Not to worry I'm sure he'll be back when he needs us.

Less, without wanting to sound rude, how was my post an attack on Accyweb itself? Anyone can sign up at any time, it isn't any of the moderators' fault who joins or when plus I have stated several times in the past what a good forum it is.

Read my post again, climb down off the moral high ground and rein in the indignation a few degrees.

Hmmm, I see that the Accyweb trait of throwing up new members at election time is still going strong.

As are 'interesting' Conservative stories.

Read it placed it again for all to see,
Why should I take exception to it?
I took exception because although I didn't like the post that came before it, I couldn't understand your need to place the site in the same post.
Yes, anyone can sign up at any time and if AccringtonWeb has a 'trait', it is that the members do not blindly accept a post without some proof to back it up. You didn't give us the chance to put the post in it's rightful place, you associated it with AccyWeb.
Very poor advice, 'climb down off the moral high ground and rein in the indignation a few degrees'. It's almost as cheap a shot against me, as the post discussed was against the site.

Re: Did Graham Jones do the right thing?

in all fairness to ken he said his internet accounts had been hacked which i assume to be his email,facebook etc and made a personal choice to not access teh internet i again assume until teh issue was sorted.I doubt he meant a hacker totally disabled his access to teh internet for weeks becase that would be ludricous and easily sorted out much faster

as for the upset over the attack on accyweb it did read to myself that it was a dig at accyweb and maybe could have been worded better as i said earlier.

both parties have used teh beneifits of this site to spout their speel the only difference is some put heir name to it and some dont

Just to let you know none of this is true and neither is the post previous that refers to an 'alleged incident'. Interestingly I have not been arrested, questioned, approached or contacted by the Police on such a matter . I have seen facts and anecdotal evidence that have made me suspicious and I have forwarded what I have to the Police for them to decide. I have had a polite reply from the Chief Inspector.

Both these are wrong. I haven't been questioned and I have been told neither will I be.

Lucky for some, that hypocrisy isn't an arrestable offence.

From the 'Telegraph' website today:

"Police said they had also launched an investigation into claims constituency MP Graham Jones had intimidated voters."
