Was was that YOU who made The Moas page? I was always impressed how quickly it was updated, then perplexed when I realised we weren't doing it...

I don't envy the Police having to deal with that reality as well as their role as a public agency who should be…

Censoring dialogue that expresses this is the height of stupidity.

In the context of a discussion about electronic habitats, that's unintentionally hilarious.

Now we're microparsing Emma's indication of which facebook posts she'd remove on a facebook page that she has nothing to…

Leeza Gibbons was the co-host of the notoriously awful 1987 Goftas, but it wasn't until the 1988 Telethon where she met her Corrie star husband-to-be Chris Quinten. Unless the international Gofta romance was between John Inman and...

complete with the international romance

I'd say you're the one who has misread it, but happy to let other readers decide that for themselves. Life's too short, etc.

And I would pull all the posts advocating violence – with you on that.

Of course I can acknowledge it, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to let people use an incorrect interpretation to…

We're not about to go the way of Syria or Northern Ireland anytime soon,…

I would agree that there are situations when the authorities are so tyrannical and oppressive that violent rebellion is justified. Syria, for example. But I would argue that New Zealand, for all its faults and abuses of Police power, is very far from that. Therefore I…

I have never seen a boozy medal ceremony – they are normally serious affairs and normally include acknowledgements to the…

Mm, heaps of industries have annual awards. And while they might not be televised, they're certainly not private. Ever been to a motel or a cafe that proudly displays an award…

Any of the emergency services, for starters. Various time-in-service milestones are rewarded with medals, handed out at boozy parties.

Not unreasonably. But that wasn't the argument.

The Sorta Unofficial Film Awards didn't give cash prizes for their awards. Instead award recipients got a cool trophy presented in front of an audience of their peers. And that experience – *sniff* – is something that money can't buy.

Just pay them, like most industries do.

All of which I would've deleted.

Stop with the facts, Robyn, they have no place in our modern media environment (no offence to our host)!

Yes, but so were some of the other posts. Emma's gut call was based on it advocating domestic violence, which it did not do. If we pull it because it advocates violence then the one where the author wants to immolate police officers is also out. The…

Read it very carefully. "I hope your mothers get this done to them by Other SCUMBAGS with badges."

Nope. Read it very carefully. It says the author hopes the thugs’ womenfolk get subjected to the same treatment at the hands of other badge-wearing jackbooted thugs, and then goes on to suppose that said womenfolk get that treatment at the hands of these jackbooted thugs when…

Yes, it does.

It does both, though I'd argue that's not any worse than suggesting people be set on fire.

It actually doesn't, though I can see how you got that read. There are many things wrong with that post, but advocacy of domestic violence ain't one of them. It suggests that such violence already happens, rather than suggesting that it should happen.
