Irony alert.

Lynn Prentice has made a ‘disclosure’ in small print on an attack post on a fellow blogger/cpmpetitor, Cameron Slater has a idiot for a lawyer. (He also defends his use of ‘a idiot’ – “ I suspect that either a or an works in this case” – use of ‘a’ where ‘an’ is normal is a signature of his style).

Disclosure for the benefit of the usual trolls in the unlikely event that they read down this far.I have never met Cameron Slater. But after observing his behaviour for over seven years, I think he is simple in his inability to think things through to consequences, rather sociopathic in his inability to understand anyone elses feeling apart from his own, and inclined to be led by whoever is influencing him at the time. He appears to be a good match for being a simple thug. Which is why he has been such a useful tool for the factions in the right from John Key to Simon Lusk.

I also think that Slater brings blogging and journalists into disrepute. I have met good and effective journalists and I am a blogger who doesn’t tolerate the kind of crap that Slater has done. I want him gone from blogging. I presume most decent journalists want him gone from journalism.

Prentice also brings blogging ‘into disrepute’. He tolerates all sorts of crap at The Standard – and leads by example, being an abusive bullying crap artist who seems to have difficulty tolerating criticism or being held to account.

From what I have seen most ‘decent journalists’ would put Slater and Prentice into similar categories when it comes to blog behaviour and ethics.
