From Cedar Lounge:

Would you believe that Electronicvoting.ie is still online. Don’t know how much extra keeping the site alive cost but it hardly would have been free. You can even download a little demo app.

Yes, that guy. From this morning.

Who also laid into the Occupy Cork peeps.

Well. Turns out he‘s a little sensitive.

I have been libled (sic) as a “Troll” on your site. I am not a troll. I took
part in a debate on a facebook page. Just because someone does not like what I have to say does not give them the right to libel me as a “Troll”. Please remove this “article” immediately.

And 10 minutes later…

Hello,

Can someone get back to me on this asap. It is unfair to label and libel me as a Troll when I posted under my own name on a friend’s page on facebook (subseqently de-friended) as part of an ongoing debate and discussion.

My comments were in no way the action of a Troll and it is extremely
unfair of you to allow this to spread via your website and
subsequently via facebook links.

I have already asked you to remove what is obviously an anonymous
attack on me without giving me the right to reply. The law is very clear on this and calling me a TROLL is not fair comment or even true and is actionable.

I would also like you to supply me with the contact details of your
correspondent “Ewok” so that I can take this matter up with them.

Again I would appreciate speedy action on this and a reply asap.

Thanks

Keith

OK Keith. Got a pen? It’s Ewok, c/o The fir tree, Occupy Cork, Cork. You’ll find him most Saturdays at his Nan’s.

UPDATE: Another email. And guess what? He does have a sense of humour (kinda):

Ok it seems I can’t win. I thought this was an online newspaper with basic journalistic standards but it seems its nothing better than the Sunday
Independent. Just remember that Santa Claus is watching and that all the bad boys and girls here won’t be getting any presents.You have been warned!

I have to go now and annoy the rest of you lot over on Indymedia.

Merry Christmas!
