You can't start drawing lines in the sand, either 100% freedom of speech or shut the site down. It's a nothing thread, it's ridiculous and should be treated as such, ignored or laughed off. The reaction from you guys is making it into a story in itself, should be ashamed really.
As far as I can tell, no one is asking for censorship. The objection is not that the link was posted or allowed on the forums, it's that it was deemed significant enough to be promoted to the main page.

So what makes any of the other posts more significant? Define a significant post or shut the f*** up. All I ever see on the main page is B.ghoul starting pointless polls, what colour socks is morrissey wearing today..
As phenomenally idiotic as that blog is, my (and many others') issue here is not with the fact that it was allowed to be posted in the forums, but with Davidt's decision to put it to the main page. There is a vast difference between allowing all forum posts to remain and specifically choosing to promote certain ones to the main page. It IS ridiculous and should be treated as such—we agree on that! Davidt, however, thinks it's valuable to the point of making it a top story on the front page of the site. THAT is the distinction.
I've long respected davidt's commitment to posting news about Morrissey, whether it be good, bad or indifferent but I must side with the majority here and say that sticking that headline on the main page is in poor judgement.
It's unsubstantiated and inflammatory and with the billboard news about his contract dropping today I'd expect some of the press to be dropping by to see fan reactions, now they're going to see that and they'll run with it.
Please take it down davidt; nothing good can come of it.

You people have no ability to censor and think critically for yourselves. The blog is lame: the opinions of one attention starved person winding us all up for the thrill of it. Perhaps they don't even truly believe what they are saying. Who here even remotely thinks Moz is a pedophile? Not me. Why is this blog post so threatening? Do you really think it is going to convince others that he is? I don't. Only ignorant simpletons who are already prejudiced against the man will even give any consideration to it.
Ignore it. Or set the blogger straight.
My guess is that this thread, and the hysteria and controversy that has ensued for davidt posting it on the main page, is going to make the 'news', furthering the discussion and outcry. Not a bad thing. I am glad to be reminded that there are delusional, paranoid, homophobic idiots online spreading hate and lies. Thanks davidt for bringing it to our attention.

When I first visited the site and saw the headline I nearly had a cardiac. I honestly thought it was some terrible Operation Yewtree revelation or something of that seriousness.
Grow up you pathetic old man.

David t is a stalker......this confirms it...and Morrisseys feelings about him.
