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.
I do link to infowars,just to see what the odious oil is up too,He is truly deplorable
Here is some good news on brain disorders. Read on, I won’t give any spoilers but it is exciting, wonderful and praiseworthy for NZ’s part in the discovery by hard working caring medical scientists doing something for people, not shooting resources into space or perhaps shooting otherwise useful people who deserve better than to be targets or victims of Calous-aid brutals in uniforms.
…This research is remarkable because it comes from the only group in New Zealand dedicated to studying this horrendous disease, says Dieriks.
“We have carved out a niche in the global scientific community, pushing the boundaries of what we know about this disease, despite limited resources,” he says….
Notes: The paper is titled: “Neuronal -synuclein toxicity is the key driver of neurodegeneration in multiple system atrophy”. – MSA.

If Ngapuhi want anything left on the land they have and have got back, and the farms forming part of the important economy of the Far North they will have to set up their own fire watch groups and controls I think. So many fires lasting so long.
Fire burning practices might have to be studied.

First your Council spends a lot of money developing something expensive and beautiful which attracts visitors. When that succeeds, they place a notable fee on visitors from out of town; the selling point for forming the attraction. But they make the entry high for NZ affordability, but that’s what they do at Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen or somewhere. No brains, can’t we do as badly with fewer council managers and staff?
“But I won’t be able to bring them anymore because it’s going to cost us about $100 to bring our family here and we probably won’t do that.”
She said the themed gardens had special meaning to her family.
“We do enjoy the rest of the gardens as well. There are other walks that we do along the river.
“But it does hold a really special place in our hearts and it’s quite sad for me that it’s now going to cost us and perhaps be a little bit unaffordable for us when we do come to visit.”…

Here is someone who needs to wring her hanky dry.
She was 11 when the abuse occurred in 1972.
She has had ACC Sensitive Claims help.
It seems she needs to have an exorcism done and release her mind to think of some positive things instead of getting on the bandwagon of female trials. One thing would be useful and that is to read some of the things that have happened in war to poor little citizens, and outside war, the mad things that often cause sad things in society.
And remember that all those sex abusers have been born from women who don’t seem to have brought their children up kindly to be strong and loving people able to cope with life. We know that often doesn’t happen, but it would help if people were aware of the trauma that boys and girls can go through. Kinder attitudes with more honesty about sex and love, and more discussion about restraint and self-respect, and passion as well which can be surprising, would help both teenage girls and boys and some of we adults who may need to think anew.
Please leave this man’s art work alone. His sculptures are impressive and interesting.
She said Middleditch, who died in 1987 in Hastings, ruined her life.
…The woman said she was unaware of Middleditch’s convictions until her early 30s around the time she made an ACC claim and had counselling, and she only found the newspaper articles after searching the Hocken Library in Dunedin recently…
The woman said it was no secret she had a difficult home life.”
It was devastating because I thought I’d been chosen for my talent and I wasn’t. I was chosen for my vulnerability and to be exploited. [This sounds as if it has come out of an abuse counsellors textbbook.]…
If people knew how hard it was to even name this stuff – it’s so hard, particularly when it’s the pillars of society that are conducting the abuse and who feel very safe that they’re not going to be exposed.” [He can’t reply as he is dead.]…
Gaza breaks my heart. That’s a mass disaster. Personal trauma can be hard too, and it unfortunately isn’t rare. But trauma can be kept active by going back to it regularly and making it central. So it is likely that we will never hear the end of this male/female contest brought to the fore, either the present or the historic concerns. Incidentally there is a piece about the Bain murders on the same page, from 2024,which reflects the negative interest in traumas that many feel. Interested?
