"Donal Blaney: Scourge of the Indolent"
It linked to my piece yesterday in which I listed which contributors had written the most posts on CentreRight.com - and who had been less prolific.
Alex's post subsequently was taken down by ConservativeHome editor, Tim Montgomerie. I wonder why? Surely he wasn't trying to hide the results from his readers? For who is the most prolific contributor on this guest blog? Yup. Tim himself!

Nothing curious here Donal. Your original post contained some errors. It suggested, for example, that David Willetts, Liam Fox, Nile Gardiner and Matt Sinclair hadn't posted at all and they had. After Alex Deane had linked to your post I requested that we take his link down as I didn't want to be linking to an inaccurate list. No big deal but thanks for taking so much interest in CentreRight. I'm sure you were trying to be helpful.
Thanks for the update, Tim. The problem arose from the fact that those listed as not having posted at all do not have "read all of X's posts here" on their CentreRight home page.
I'm confused. It appears the whole post has been taken down. Did the post contain only a solitary link or did it have some text supporting it? Fair enough on removing the link to the list, or putting one of those little asteriks to say that it is inaccurate, but why remove the entire text? Wasn't Alex trying to make a wider point that should be allowed to stand? It sure would be nice to be treated like adults and allowed to see everything for ourselves and make our own minds up.
Actually, our views on this are here:

I wonder if we will get what we want.
