This, about the Sexual Orientation Regulations, made me really sad. All the examples the opponents of the bill gave, like hoteliers liable to prosecution for refusing a double room to a gay couple, were things that I thought "But that's what I would want to happen!". I think I may be a lefty pinko liberal.

On the other hand, this, about a new random radio station launching in Oxford, sounds quite interesting

I haven't really poked around the whole Comment is Free thing as much as I might. I'm amused by stuff like this, in a joy-of-slapfights sort of way.

It's the home of slapfights and people looking for slapfights to comment on.

I only ever tend to read Polly Toynbee and Zoe Williams there, but the comments do tend to be slapfight-a-go-go.

Although that can happen in the best regulated of locations...

I love the endless stream of people who read Zoe Williams purely in order to complain that her columns are worthless, and a trivial waste of electrons - which does make you wonder whether they should be getting their kicks elsewhere.
