Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
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.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, 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.
Humility Lost! Geez Wayne, The Standard is a bit of humour if ever you’re at a loose end and wanting something better to watch than paint dry. Check out the gorjiss people as they exercise their egos and superiority.

and LPRENT – the best IT professional in the World’s as He condescends to reply to other contributors.
And then there’s always the Head Warden [Wardeness/WardenIt/WardenThey?] to back Him up. She’s really really gorjiss.
Don’t try commenting unless you’re prepared to accept (like EeeeOr Seymore) they know better than Ye what your thinkings are (going forward).
(Ad/Advantage – 2 or 3IC told me to take a break several years ago after posting a comment Parakura Horomia had said to me directly. I guess He was concerned Parakura must not have been in his right mind.
And of course I couldn’t provide a link).
Such shame really because most of the Open Mike remarks in today’s TS Open Mike are not wrong.
Can someone remind me on another isss shoe. I seem to remember lprent’s VERY better half spending time in Assam, or some other North Eastern state (shades of Owen Glenn as well).
Poor bitch! How the Hell does she put up with His exceptional expertise in all things to do with Life and the Universe
OWT
When it comes to TS, OWL is the right term.
The wise old owl sat in the oak.
The more he saw, the less he spoke
The less he spoke, the more he heard
It’s good to follow that wise old bird.
Why not write here more where you are appreciated. TS commenters seem a bit like Hansel and Gretel after setting off from home, their marker pieces of bread having disappeared, and finding they can’t return. They can’t remember the direction and even what home looked like.
But don’t come down on the TS blogmaster, Lynn deserves a medal for keeping the outlet for left frustrations ticking over. Similar with Martyn here – they both deserve a gold meal for effort and commitment. They may not be perfect, but most of them is excellent, as most would agree.
I cleared two old cards in a drawer tidy – one for a video store, now defunct and one for Helen Clark’s commitments for Labour, seven points sounding worthy – some may have come into being. But these days if you gain a bit on the swings, you lose on the roundabouts so I don’t know how we fared. We Will Deliver it says. Well NZ Post checked how it rates the other day and Aramex found my belated parcel. But maybe NZ Post is pulling up its socks so it can sell itself – there’s a name for that sort of thing. Who knows, one gets cynical as often heard in the old days: Life Gets Tedious Don’t It – Walter Brennan spells it out.

I don’t disagree @Grey. It’s just a shame they’ve got gigantic egos. I.e. way way more than enough as to sustain one’s self-esteem while bordering on the exceptional.
It’s a shame Messrs Dunning and Kruger couldn’t be persuaded to update their research with lil ‘ole NuZullin that punches above its weight as a case study.
Though not a betting human, I’d almost put money on the 3 Stooges figuring in the research
I always read you OWT and enjoy your fanciful bits going forward. So look to more in 2024.
