    The size of her ar$e seems to have been created from "backside in the air".

    Im sure she has shown the Gardai. Why would she interact with someone who was obsessed and abused her for a year

    I wish Aoife Moore and every other journalist involved well. Twitter and robust political debate is exhausting I imagine. No-one on Twitter without verified identity should be listened to whether that is Barbara Pym or a Sinn Fein troll

    That kind of goes against the logic of your hero Harris when he said on RTE Radio 1 that he set up the account precisely because 'he wanted his views to be listened to'

    Or your idol Harris? Have you stopped thinking of him as a "genius"? Even the editor of the Sindo said that Harris crossed the line with those comments.

    Harris is not a "hero" of mine. The point remains. No-one should give much if any credibility to anonymous accounts. That applies to on boards.ie and it applies more to Twitter where abuse is tolerated.

    But you yourself have claimed he is some make of "genius", yes? Given that fact, do you now think it is a form of "genius" to create anonymous accounts in order to get your views across? Because that's precisely what Harris claimed was legitimate last week on RTE Radio 1, so which is it J?

    By verified do you mean they have Twitter blue tick?

    It was heartening to watch the Prince Philip funeral - dignified, in accordance with public health guidelines and with just a few law-abiding respectful mourners.

    Jesus if an English aristocrat shat in your mouth you’d lick it off and call it chocolate. How did we get onto Prince Phillip and his funeral?

    What a weird bunch the post colonials are.

    Yet you've spent the entire thread pushing the claim he's being silenced and defending him.

    We were talking about funerals and covid breaches. Don't worry, I won't run to a solicitors firm in Belfast or become a victim because of your innocuous post.

    What's that got to do with Eoghan Harris?

    A terrible affliction. :) Harris managed to avoid it.

    You are shameless. You goad me into a response and then withdraw in exaggerated horror when you get it.

    But happy to see that I've so triggered you that you've looked on my profile. I haven't the slightest bit of interest in yours.

    I was intrigued when another poster said Little Lord Fauntleroy of Dun Laoghaire was complaining about Irish people speaking Irish.

    How is your German coming along?

    So no one should give any credibility to your boards account then?

    Does anyone believe that Harris, who worked in RTE for years, then in exalted positions, including working well into normal retirement years, does not have resources to pay his own lawyers?

    He seems to be playing the poor-mouth for sympathy.

    Privately educated TD, Paul Murphy, on a salary of 87,000 euro not including expenses got free legal aid when he went on trial for the false imprisonment of Joan Burton in Jobstown (he was cleared).

    Free legal aid may not be available in civil cases. It may be available in criminal cases and there are apparently two Garda investigations underway.

    Yes, a mob trapping a granny in her car for several hours while intimidating her was all an elaborate stitch up the gardai.

    Should hacks be allowed write anonymously? Or is it ethical? The first thing that springs to mind is the anonymous contributors to that grotty little magazine, Phoenix. Now no successful journalist would write for it, but what’s the story with not printing the ‘journalist’s’ name on the poisonous pieces they write?

    It’s a vile little magazine with a tiny readership. No successful hack would want to write for it.
