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.
An observation of the way the political right sees media as sort of made manifest here.

Is hostility to MSM because it acts as an alternative source of information to voters, (than that managed by dominance in fund-raising (as per the anguish when it is not available for a political ad)?
Is reverence for global monopolies that pay little tax on their national area profits, based on cause in common (no CGT or estate tax).
Is hostility to New Zealand managing copyright as other nations do, of some sort of self-hate or just antipathy for a well funded news media and nation state government?
This reverence for aggregate capital dominance of markets and politics needs to be recognised.
PS A bit too out and proud Atlas Network doctrine to be ignored.

“The statistics tell the story eh? It has gotten worse, and so this callout to our community of whānau in Far North who have dogs is hey, first and foremost, we’ve got thousands of responsible pet owners who are doing a great job with their companion pets and everything like that. This message isn’t for you. Keep up the awesome mahi.
“But to those who aren’t, this message is for you, man. If you want to have a dog, you bloody look after your dog. You make sure it’s well treated. Please make sure that it’s got its vaccinations. That you get it desexed and everything like that in between, because the statistics are speaking for themselves in that we have a huge increase in issues with dogs here in the Far North.”
Last year, locals staged a protest outside the Far North District Council headquarters in Kaikohe, demanding tougher action against roaming and dangerous dogs, better conditions in the council’s pounds and a reduced euthanasia.
Better condtions at all levels are being demanded – the Mayor is straightforward about how to deal with it, fair to good owners and direct about the slack ones not accepting that the dogs depend on them so it/s up to these owners. But perhaps the Council could run workshops on looking after dogs, their psychology and owners could ask questions within the group and all would learn. Trouble in NZ – it’s left to those responsible who often haven’t got the info on managing. Same with babycare and child rearing. Let’s stop the authoritarian, top-down and get a group together and make some reward for attendance and perhaps a scratch test at end for satisfaction of the learner and the educator.
