Aaronovitch Watch: The enemy of my enemy, and all that
http://aaronovitch.blogspot.com/2011/10/enemy-of-my-enemy-and-all-that.html
Incorporating "World of Decency"). Saturday, October 01, 2011. The enemy of my enemy, and all that. Here's an interesting one: Engage Online are giving space. To Colin Meade, Lecturer at London Met and Milosevic defender. A google of "Colin Meade" and "Milosevic" shows a few interesting sites around the internet. Meade used to have a blog but it has been removed, but is linked to from places such as (hold your nose before clicking) this. Fortunately, the Internet Archive is our friend and Meade's writings.

http://slatestarcodex.com/2015/01/11/the-phatic-and-the-anti-inductive
Open threads at the Open Thread tab every Sunday and Wednesday. The Phatic And The Anti-Inductive. January 11, 2015. Ozy recently taught me the word “phatic”. It means talking for the sake of talking. The classic example is small talk. “Hey.” “Hey.” “How are you? 8221; Fine, and you? 8221; “Fine.” No information has been exchanged. Even if the person involved wasn’t fine, they’d still say fine. Indeed, at least in this country giving an information-bearing response to “how are you? And I mean, you are...

Aaronovitch Watch: Some Cheap Laughs
http://aaronovitch.blogspot.com/2011/08/some-cheap-laughs.html
Incorporating "World of Decency"). Friday, August 19, 2011. Harry's Place seems to be trolling its own commenters. The current masthead must refer to this post where almost all the comments are hostile. Although this (real) pic of Geller and Spencer is more sinister. Now, will they accept that they've created an oasis for loons? And this is a rather wonderfully percipient post on H'S'JS signatory Michael Gove. Though I suspect this is partly a set-up; I can't believe he's that daft. This quote from Namaz...
