There can be no doubt that repetitive harassment, without any intellectual content, has become common-place on The JC Blogs. One wonders whether its aim is to foster debate or to close it down. If it is the latter, then one might conclude that the modus operandi is Stalinist and that the perpertrators should find another forum.

The attacks morover lack wit, and can probably best be described as unintellectual thuggery; it is performed by a pack of hyenas.

Of course, it is fair game to test the views of an opponent, but the JC's moderator will have to now decide whether this has actually turned into bullying and harassment.
