I had to "vouch" for the article, no idea why it got flagged off of the front page. I read back through the guidelines and I'm pretty sure this is a useful and insightful article for the community [1].

- Tomte 7y agoProbably because people are getting tired of this deluge of Assange stories. From this blog alone we have one every day. And I haven't seen a "new comment" in months now. It has been talked to death. You won't convince me, I won't convince you. It's all well-rehearsed sound bites.
- bArray 7y agoSurely it's for each person to decide whether they want to engage in the stories? This blog is interesting (at least to me) because the guy is actually reporting first-hand from the court that will decide his fate.
- Tomte 7y agoHave I said otherwise? I simply explain why some people engage by flagging. And that's nothing you're to "forbid". Sure, read his blog. I still maintain that there has not been a single interesting comment – on either side – in the discussion threads.
- jjgreen 7y agoI hadn't really followed the story up-to now, followed the link from the first of this "one every day" (this is the fifth of this series, hardly a deluge) and have been completely appalled that this is happening in my country. This is the trial of a journalist who faces life imprisonment for revealing war-crimes, and people are "tired" of it. I expected better.
