You aren't banned on TV though. One of the channels on VM is re-running the entirety of the Father Ted Shows. I forget which one as I am recording them all and the Tivo box is set to record all channels. You're a great writer, Graham. It must be fun to know how to become prominent in the arts and entertainment world. When I think of it though, youre not just great in the entertainment world. I mean, this site isnt exactly entertainment, we dont come here to read for our entertainment or have a huge laugh, it's a genuine work of journalistic accomplishment to have a site like this. There are a few people, Graham, and you're one of them, that just knows how to do everything they have an ambition to do. I hope these bans you get, and all the negativity directed toward you doesnt get you down, because I think history will think of you as being one of the most culturally significant people of both the 20th and 21st century. I honestly believe that for your entertainment and journalism

I think most gc women are aware of this. Most of us have received bans for the most mundane of things.

I'd get little badges made, and then you can wear a badge for each ban you have received! They are certainly badges of honor!

It's my view that all those comments are from the same person, Graham, probably from several computers, as they usually have several in their rooms, where they spend most of their unhappy, confused lives. The aim of such sad humans is to try to upset you in every way possible and they always behave in the same way, always. I've had such sickos on my back since Day 1 of joining the internet over 16 yrs ago. Look after YOU and never let The Twits get to you.

I'm also on 30 day block from Facebook, and now suspended from Twitter, without warning, without explanation, without any 'offending' tweet even being sent to me, ignored when I appeal, other than the standard auto reply.

Facebook was never as bad as Twitter, but now, it's become the same. I checked my 'block history' too, (I didn't even know they had a 'history' until recently, on FB) and they told me that I'd even AGREED that I'd posted 'hate'. I just stared at the screen with my mouth open, as I've NEVER agreed such a thing, nor did I even know that some posts had been removed and classed as 'hate' either.

Apparently, it was 'hate' to tell Rosie Duffield that she did not have to apologise and grovellingly so, for saying "ONLY women have a cervix' (!!!!)

Apparently, it was also 'hate' to suggest that parents check if the schools their children go to have gone 'unisex' with their toilets, and where/how to complain, if they have.

Apparently, it was 'hate' to have an opinion on the, in my view, deeply concerning new tattoo of Sam Smith, and to have said that non-binary does not exist, whilst adding a link to the story of America's first ever 'non-binary' claimant, who admitted 'it was all a sham', that he'd made it all up.

There were others, but they, apparently (trying to see how many times I can get that word into this message, lol) are over 90days old, thus, there is no official record of yet more of my alleged 'hate'.

If I were very rich, I'd sue the backsides off Twitter and Facebook, for defaming my character as beingi 'hateful', purely for speaking truth.

The internet is all but broken now, as it cannot function without free speech. It will, I fear, become just a place for The Crazies With Agendas to spread their craziness globally, as they stalk and harrass anyone who speaks Truth, getting them cancelled at every opportunity.

Just written a long, involved response to Change.org too, about the child who is using their site to try to get 2 of her teachers sacked, their lives torn apart, for them daring to say that single sex toilets in schools (and elsewhere) are important, that single sex spaces should remain. I explained to them about The Hitler Youth, China and Orwellian Times, and how, by allowing that odious petition to remain, they are, in my view, contributing to the making of a very sick society.

Anyway, again, look after yourself. I know you know these trolls are batty as batty can be, but they can still creep in and hurt you now and then.

Know that you are loved and respected by many out here, way more than dare to speak such a sentence, they too being in fear of their jobs/reputations, but your courage, care and compassion for women, for children, your sense of integrity, shines out like a beacon.

Eat lots of cake and chocolate...as that always helps.. xx

You've got the money men and their machines worried. That's a great achievement. All credit and courage to you.

Some of the comments posted on that video are beyond vile (and probably the work of only 2-3 people). I wonder if they realise that each one only proves the truth of the worst accusations levelled at them? No, of course they don't; that would require both rational thinking and self-awareness.

okay, so I have to say, after going to that video and seeing the horrible comments from the transvestite predators all over the place, that this idea of having people subscribe and pay to comment is GLORIOUS.

It would be so great for someone to start a website where the honorees of free speech awards such as this one could display them, kind of like those glass cases where they have all the sports trophies in the high school. There could be a whole shelf for you, and Kellie Jay Keen, and Helen Staniland...I know they've banned Sal Grover and countless others. I got two bans last month on facebook, I actually got a 30 day ban on another one I totally forgot about and it ran it's course so lo and behold I still have an open facebook.
