If I were David, I would have done the same thing.
People can read it and choose to believe it or not.
All this badgering doesn't change anything at all.
And given the fact that we are at Page 46 and 900+ comments and counting, I would say that the people who are objecting to this also do not want to see the story die because they are keeping it alive.
Well played, oh outraged ones, well played
The idea that it merits discussion is ridiculous.
Then why are you discussing it? You are just proving my point.
I didn't read the rest of your Morrissey-esque essay. Perhaps they might publish it on TTY if you ask nicely?
If you think I write like Morrissey, then I should probably have edited that post. I haven't been at the gin and tonics, though, I swear.
The Guardian was reporting a legitimate news story. You're a smart guy. That you don't see the difference is astounding.
But also, you keep repeating this canard that the outrage here with you is because the subject matter. Too many people here have corrected your error in this regard, and you still keep repeating it. Again, it's really astounding.
If you read some of the comments on the site, several users suggest this isn't a legitimate story and question the source's (Morrissey's) sanity. What makes you correct, but these people incorrect? Because you consider yourself smarter? It's debatable.

debatable?
There's nothing debatable with you.
You post this vile link...violating your own member conduct rules.
You've got zero credibility.....and zero courage. You are a coward plain and simple.
Every one knows it now .
Carlos danger is right.
it's his f***ing website, you clown. He can post whatever he feels like.
Why have Member Conduct Rules then? .........Don't call me a clown....gutless.
How many times are you gonna post that you hate the latest album?
I was just listening to Spanish Key....and I remembered you like Miles. I had to turn it off...you make me want to puke.
Why the f*** did Morrissey book Cliff Richard to support him? Aside from the dodgy kiddy fiddling, the sheer fact of endorsing and encouraging the man ought to be enough to set alarm bells ringing.
The question is not so much "Is Morrissey a paedo?" as "Is Morrissey senile or does he just have increasingly craptastic taste in music?".
I guess the new album goes some way to underlining, if not answering that.

I repeat - it's his website and he can post what he likes. He lets you be here, have some respect.
And I am sorry I called you a clown. Bit of an insult to those who make people laugh deliberately.
The general consensus appears to be 'no'. However, the controller of this site thinks it is interesting and, indeed, newsworthy, that anyone, anywhere on the internet happens to think Morrissey is a paedophile.
So, the precedent has been set. Anybody, anywhere can blog any scurrilous invention about Morrissey, anonymously post it here, and David is duty bound to publish in the interest of free speech and curiosity, ignoring his own Terms of Use.
If I were to create a blog entitled morrisseyrapesbabies.com, filled with insane, unproven bile, and drop the link into an anonymous post, David would feel the need to link to it. Because it would doubtless prove to be an interesting read.
And, apparently, by questioning David's judgement in this matter, I am:
- Undermining the principles of free speech
- Ignoring all the hard work David has put into this site over the years
- Incapable of critical thinking with regard to Morrissey
- Oblivious to the fact that this is David's own, private website and he can do what he likes
- Intellectually incapable of exploring the very idea of paedophilia without collapsing into group-think hysteria
In a nutshell, David has f***ed up. He should admit it, apologise and move on.
The worst thing about this is David trying to justify it. He should have recognised his mistake, removed the link and that would have been the end of the matter. The fact that David seems to want to post anything that simply mentions Morrissey makes a mockery of the site. It's a shame because I've always liked the site. I really think this place is a bit toxic now, though. Half the time it just seems like people aiming snidey insults at each other. Another Morrissey news/forum is needed.
