Thomas T, Mary Perna, Mark Anonymous, Ron Johnson, and Robbie Mascon, a specific group of people who have posted comments here over the last two months, are all posting from the same IP address. This suggests they are either living together, working at the same office or that they are all the same person. The email addresses they have used are: thommo69@optushome.net.au, mperna2@gmail.com, mark.anonymous@hotmail.com, Privacy@preferred.com and robbiemascon@live.com.au respectively. The IP address is 58.161.17.183.
Most of their comments are puerile and malicious. Why they stalk this place when they clearly don’t like what the read is a mystery. One can only speculate as to their agenda, especially given one stream of comments which was deleted for their own protection.
Anyone standing on a soapbox and sprouting their opinion has to be open to debate and criticism. Others participating in public debate owe it to all participants to be on-topic, fair and honest. If they don’t like the speaker or have an off-topic axe to grind, they ought to move on.
I am all for open discussion. All I ask is honest identification of yourself and genuine contribution to the topic at hand.
I agree.
They’re time wasters, I believe this blog is a valuable tool for all newsagents wishing to make the most out of their business, they obviously don’t own one.
