Comments

I quite enjoy reading the readers' comments at the end of our online stories, even the ones that either moan about the Advertiser or make me a bit twitchy libel-wise.

If you're unlucky, messageboards can attract some fairly unsavoury types from both ends of the political spectrum, but many of the contributions on thisiscroydontoday.co.uk are extremely well thought out, intelligent offerings that can make me think twice about how we play certain stories.

That said, there some that I completely disagree with like the one here .

It criticises today's (print edition) headline, 'Scissors in head horror at school', which apparently 'does nothing to help the pupil, the school, staff or parents.'

Well, sorry but as much as we like to take a responsible approach, it's not our job to do to any of the above.

It's our job to report the news, and if somebody sticks a pair of scissors into somebody else's head at school, then that's exactly what we're going to write.
