For some added info, Russell, banning someone...does this mean they can't look at the site either? Doesn't seem likely, but then, I'm new to all this and don't really know.
Someone who's been banned can do anything on the site you can do without being logged in. So view but not comment. Unless the CactusLab guys have got something going with sacrificing ponies to make banned users bleed from the eyeballs or something.

Bait and switch, my friends, bait and switch. Try not to get too incandescent too soon.
Well, that's what we assumed about mining in national parks, right? That some of the ideas were so insane that they were a blind for 'something else'? And instead they turned out to be genuine intentions.
Now, maybe they've learned from the embarassing backdown over that. So yeah, maybe 14 weeks is a blind for six months. But... I'm no longer sure anyone is that well organised. (Where is my diabolically competant evil, etc.)
Also, the DPB. That's the only benefit that's a payment for doing actual work, right? It's not the unemployment benefit, because the people on it are working as care-givers.
And yes... if I were still in Sue's position, on an Invalids' Benefit and trying to shape work around my abilities while WINZ actually got in the way of doing that, right now I'd be terrified about what was going to happen to my family.

Oi!
That's a year of my life I'd have never got back, if I hadn't stopped going to the lectures.

Which references The Death of the Author by Roland Barthes in 1968.
Dude, step away from the Post-Modernism!

Mr Derailing Asshole McTroll
The next time we're in the same city, I'd like you to say this out loud so I can use it as a ring-tone.

Up Front: Say When, in reply to Hilary Stace,
Hilary: they did try. From what I heard it sounded like a very frustrating experience.

"People who bought this book also liked...." has worked for me on Amazon with surprising frequency.
Top 'also liked' for Not Safe For Work? xkcd. Works for me.

But I knew I would cause offence by expressing a point of view not only different to Emma's but one that I would call more 'radical.'
Sally, can you honestly not see that it isn't your point of view which has offended people, but the way you have gone about expressing it?

every time you see an image of a woman in a dress tight enough that her bought breasts slap against her chin (just count them at the Oscars)
None. What do I win? Demonstrating the "respect for women" she wants to see, obviously.

or the internet will burn New Zealand with angry geek fire.
Ha, not while Aidan Turner's here filming The Hobbit. That could be an ugly, ugly geek war.
