Guido (and Iain Dale and Hopi Sen and ...) has blogged about the Times outing the blogging policeman Night Jack (a disgraceful episode - it was in nobodies interest for the blogger to be exposed).
What is almost as appalling is that the Times has stopped accepting comments on its web site about the issue. (here)
There are precisely two comments. Yes two. One, to be fair hostile, but the other less so. I more than strongly suspect is that the Times has received a deluge of hostile comments from around the world and is frankly just censoring them.
Pure and simple hypocrisy.
Update
Extraordinarily there is more comment about the Times's actions here at the Telegraph following a well reasoned article on blogging than there is on the Times itself.
Update 2
Daniel Finkelstein has attempted to justify the Times's attitude here. At least his comments are not being censored.
