The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
AI (Arse,,,,s Incorporated or Instigated – what another ‘gate’!). Beware, bees are dying, we need real not reel eddication about things. Can you keep up with me?

I was left wondering whether Ben was auditioning for the part of Mr Creosote. He’s expanding, and it looks pretty ugly. It’s possible he needs some National Party wrap around services.
Another way for AI – Arse…s Instigated – to step up with tech to steal from you your life, your thoughts, your humanity, your personality.
