You changed the wording of the post after my comment but proceeded to delete my comment.
Why would you reject a comment, thus deeming it offensive/not constructive but also change the wording of the post, implying my criticism was valid and should be put into practice...

I must admit, this Bongo Boy is a clown.

@ anon 17:17 - I don't think its really a low at all.
I'm merely posting something that a friend of mine and a friend of the blog has produced and therefore I wished to share it with others.

@ anon 17:40 - yes it was altered. but that was on my own inspection. Try wording your comments differently in future if you want them published.

Just a coincidence that your inspection came at the same time as the comment then?
How was the commented worded wrong? You sound like a budding Dictator Gregteee

Why would the fact that your friend made this mean its likely to be enjoyable for us to watch or relevant to this blog?
Shameless promotion, your quality control is blinded by your loyalties.

Quoted direct from the video -

"My greatest accomplishment is being able to go to an event and have someone recognize me"

PAUSE

I forget exactly what you wrote due to its irrelevance.But I dont really think I sound like 'a budding dictator.'

You are one individual who doesn't like the video. There will be many other people who watch the video and enjoy it.
There will be a lot who don't. But for the most part they won't waste a minute or so of their life writing that they don't unlike you have.

If you have only been reading BNTL for a couple of months you will realise that there's a lot that is relevant to this blog.
Just because for the most part there are posts on fashion, music and photography it doesn't mean that previous content has not ventured outside of these realms.

You wouldn't last long on Jeremy Paxman...

"You are one individual who doesn't like the video. There will be many other people who watch the video and enjoy it."

The comments don't reflect that. You don't have the ability to critically analyze content and be selective.

The above paragraph doesn't make sense and was totally out of context to any of the critiques outlined by anon's.
How does the timeframe i've been reading this blog remotely relate to whether the bongo boy video was relevant to BNTL?

@greg_bntl said...

The majority of the comments on this post come from me or you.
If they come from other people its ones or twos. Not a great amount.

Clearly this is an on going debate that could last for hours.

That is fine if you believe that my ability to select material isn't very good.

But this blog is about posting what the contributors find interesting and also by supporting and promoting the work of the extended family.

This is the reason why I posted this vid, this is why it is relevant and this is something that will continue in the future.

Truce!
