I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand I'm strongly against inappropriate censorship (and I don't know enough about Gab to say it is deserving of censorship), on the other if a site contravenes the AUP of a third party service it shouldn't be a surprise if it's cut off.

Why would anyone tolerate websites which allow white supremacists and Jew hating nazis to blog their views? Once such vile stuff is given a platform it is only a matter of time before killings take place. Censorship must happen and the worst excesses of the internet must be curbed just as happens in all other areas of communication.  Those who oppose any censorship are irresponsible.

Just saw highlights. He seemed to be moving well and it seemed a reasonably close match. Andy hates losing . The only way to get back to the top is to keep playing opponents like this on a regular basis.

He has quite an old fashioned complicated serve. The young guys seem to have shorter faster actions . He should stop taking so long over it as well wasting energy bouncing the ball so many times and walking so slowly between points. Tennis is better played briskly. Maybe not in that heat though.

I thought Andy played well considering that he has only played a few matches. He tryed very hard and shows that he still has the guts and the talent to win.

There will still be a few on MW who are always very quick to rubbish him see what you lot can do  after a hip operation you would still be hobbling around on walking sticks.

Good game Andy you gave your all get stronger and you will soon be winning again.

I’m not rubbishing him. I have been a huge fan since befor you even started on MW and was just wondering why these pundits who know a lot about him and the game would suggest his pain is not real. They have done this throughout his career actually and I would like to know why, nobody ever doubts the injuries of Nadal or other  players.

Croft and Rusedski suggesting his exhaustion and limping between points is not real because his movement around the court is fine.
Why would he do that?

thank you . This is a very interesting article which sums up the global soup we are in very well.  I had no idea that ultra Orthodox Jews held such views on women by the way. Airbrushing Hilary Clinton and Angela merkel from official photos !!

You would think there were more important news agendas than what one bullingdon twit thinks about  how some women dress. 190  killed or seriously wounded in carbombings in Iraq in June as a direct result of uk foreign policy and I doubt any of them were worrying what Boris thought of their clothes. Silly stories for the silly season. All women anywhere should be allowed to dress how they want. It’s nobody’s business but their own.

But.. but..but..Fed just couldn't carry on, he was in so much pain. And then, two ticks later, he just had to play Davis Cup. Simply couldn't let them down...

we all know that Federer is like that . I just didn’t think Andy was. It is not like him to retire and makes me wonder if the tears marked his realisation that he will never be able to compete to the same level as he once did. Nobody has mentioned the fact he was limping badly for most of the match.

^ I doubt Andy is interested in any moral high ground  - not his style...

I am a bit surprised and disappointed he pulled out.  Never the right thing to do unless actually injured. Being pissed off about the timings not good enough. He should not have entered if unable to play three set matches against low ranked players on consecutive days. How would he manage a slam with five sets?  I think it’s weird what is going on with Andy . The crying was disturbing. Does he need a good coach?

I agree that moronic was not a good choice and is not acceptable - fair comment. Perhaps bloody stupid would have been better. It was the argument not the person and directed at those posts which say let’s legalise a dangerous drug because drinking is already dangerous. That is stupid.

Who do you mean?
boogers? Posted all of two comments recently. Neither insulting.
atl? No, atl  does not go round insulting people.
Me? No I don't either usually. I am very careful not to. My question, "Are you 12?" Was an example of how easy it is to do and a response to my argument being called "moronic." Now moron is a word I find especially insulting and is slung around, as atl said, casually to denigrate an argument. It was used as a medical classification to categorise people with learning difficulties. It is no longer used and has no place there or here

iluvandy is not known for her insults. Her responses are usually extremely moderate
So who do you mean "by the same people??
neverhurrymurray: You've unfortunately used another word that seems to have slipped into everyday language and another word I heartily dislike,"entitled."  "Entitlement" means "having a right to privilege,"  in which case, in answer to your question, no you aren't.  Of course you are free to express your opinions on here, as we all are, but please don't chuck words like "moronic" and "childish" around to put down those who disagree with you  and expect to get a free passage.

1)Did you not read that the child's father has appeared in court?  It looks as if he instigated the attack. Perhaps you need to stop leaping to conclusions?
2) There you go again. I do not share your opinions, therefore my view is "childish." 

that was in response to one of you not sure if it was you asking if I was 12. A pearl Clutcher is not a term I have heard before but is presumably an amusing dig at someone  one rich presumably a woman who is horrified at the antics of society. Not relevant to me and really unfunny in the subject context. I am entitled to my opinion and my opinion is that cannabis is a very dangerous drug and should be illegal. I am not against medicinal cannabis  in the same way as I am not against morphine being used in hospitals for pain relief. Lastly I know the  cannabis user who threw the acid was the child’s father I don’t understand why that makes the cannabis use any less dangerous.

having inadvertently caused this  rumpus can i apologise for using the word moronic which was not aimed at any person but was because I know that cannabis destroys lives and is linked to psychotic behaviour and does appear in many reported murder cases in Scotland, perhaps exacerbated by heavy drinking here. I don’t have the time at the moment to dig out all the many reports and articles linking cannabis with violent behaviour but I did read that the boys who threw acid at the baby were openly smoking cannabis just beforehand. It genuinely sickens me that a good chunk of society see nothing wrong in the state legalising drugs when so many young people are already vulnerable and struggling to cope emotionally. I am pretty clear which view is the childish one.

The Eoropean Union claims to uphold liberal values of equality, freedom and human rights and yet each leader fawns over Donald Trump  wanting to be his best friend. If they think their world vision is good and his is bad why do they not have the guts to say so to his face?  It is all so fake and two faced it makes me sick.  I don’t believe they believe in anything  just keeping their jobs, power and money.

And it’s still a tiny risk.

says who?. Cannabis users are 40% more likely to develop psychotic behaviour than non users. Cannabis is cited in neRly every violent murder and it is unbelievable that so many intelligent people want to make it freely available. The fact that alcohol is a bad thing too seems to be a particularly moronic argument for unleashing more harmful substances on society.
