Does anyone know why I can no longer see Stonehead’s blog? Every day when I try to look at it I get a screen saying “this blog is protected” and asking me to log on.
Is it just me? Have I lost the plot or the ability to use a computer?

he is taking a ” grumpy” break, according to Howling Duck Ranch, I suspect because of some of the carp comments he is getting…but thats just my opinion, not based on any fact….(!)

Compostwoman got there before me :-d – since the storms my Internet has been useless.
Stonehead’s had some pretty nasty comments over the last year from a few people so I guess he’s just had enough which is really sad as I enjoy his blog.

I think it is really sad,:-((
I have Stonehead down as one of my “must read” blogs…
oh well, perhaps he will be back soon…

Oh is that it! I even went to the trouble of getting a WordPress ID and STILL couldn’t get in.

Thanks for the answer, I knew he’d had some vicious bullshit thrown at him and was honestly fearing it might be worse than just having had enough. I can’t blame him but will miss him.
Wish I could send a thankyou for all the entertainment.

That’s terrible news! He’s either being beaten over the head by petrol-heads or by extreme-greenies… I just don’t know what their problem is, or why they feel that venting their anger on his blog is going to help anyone.
They’re like blog-masochists, sitting there reading things they disagree with until their heads blow off and all their pent-up bile comes gushing out in a torrent of abuse; when what they should have done is have a cup of tea and read something more conducive to their way of thinking. If people don’t like a blog, they don’t have to read it – no one’s forcing them for God’s sake!
Come back soon, Stoney!

Thanks for clearing this up, I had just started reading Stonehead’s blog and couldn’t understand why it had disappeared. It’s a real shame he’s had such a lot of crappy comments – why do folk feel the need to waste their time spreading negativity? As Scarlet said, if you don’t like it, don’t read it!

It really is such a shame that someone feels forced to give up something they clearly enjoy doing (& which so many others enjoy as both informative & entertaining) owing vitriolic comments. I gather from one statement he made on the ‘Rabbit’ post that he may have even received death threats (& this from supposed vegan pacifists) – it is completely unacceptable, & disgusting.
To my great disappointment & surprise I have occasionally received unpleasant comments on my own Blog; & therefore know how extremely hurtful it can be, especially when you are donig your level best to manage a smallholding in as much of an organic, environmentally-friendly & ethically-responsible manner as possible. But people still feel the need to snipe….I really feel sad that they evidently gain such twisted pleasure from trying to pour scorn & poison on others’ hard-grafted efforts.
But alas, there will always be such nasty people in the world – look at Australia; there are those who deliberately started some of the wildfires, with all the loss of life & devastation they’ve caused. It’s a strange old world…
Hope you’ll be back again soon, Stoney – we miss you. Give ‘em Hell – the pen (or the keyboard in modern parlance) is mightier than the sword, after all.

I too have signed up to WordPress in the hope of still being able to read Stoney, damn I will really miss him. Hope he does come back soon.
Sarah said
He’s back. Yay

I took a break as I was feeling tired and rundown, which meant I was being less than tactful with people who sent me stupid emails, or ones that moaned about how I was so much luckier than them.
Normally, I’m reasonably polite to the people that send this sort of thing and am only rude to the genuinely obnoxious prats. But I was getting grumpy and mean with just about anyone who irritated me so I decided to take break until I was feeling more diplomatic and less irascible.
Unfortunately, WordPress doesn’t have the option of putting up a holding page that reads something like “Sod off, I’m grump today” so I had to go to password protection.
Anyway, thanks for the interest and concern.
