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.
While free speech is crucial, there’s always a balance to be struck between allowing open dialogue and ensuring the space isn’t hijacked by toxicity or misinformation. It’s good to see TDB’s commitment to keeping things constructive.
C.r.a.p. Flannel-foot stuff from machine-mind programmed to be ‘naice’. Watch out for those channelling AI stuff to put their oar in to a NZAO human waka.

Not on your nellie. The time to introduce 4 year terms was before 1984 and the national drop-trousers. We are near-naked now and extending the term of either bumfreezes for the homeless, tenting for the fire prone, or sleeping on old mattresses in the attic or family’s bach for the slipped-out, will not serve the nation better. It just increases the thickness of smugness on the morning toast. We can’t toast that!!
And who knows what the bewildered and malfunctioning would vote for. The huge amount of siphoning that the gummint gets away with has challenged then dulled the senses of so many. And some have just shut down thought, replacing it with a series of mental flash cards they hoist – it’s enough (cough) to make you hoik.

Foodstuffs South Island had better change its legal standing and register as a separate entity from the north before people start to say about all NEW Worlds and Paknsave etc that their New behaviours are unreasonable and Foodstuffs can get stuffed.
They are vulnerable to this sort of thing because they franchise their name. But the name is being downgraded and soon it will be cheaper to get a franchise because of this low, autocratic and hateful treatment of customers. Try it, say get stuffed at your next visit and see how they react – they won’t like it and will probably ban you. They are too hoity-toity to care about customers, people, whom they probably class as bottom feeders. ‘Money doesn’t maketh the man’ is a saying. but these plutocrats don’t pay attention to that.

Frizelle said there had been a rise in bowel cancer amongst those aged under 50-years-old in New Zealand. Symptoms of the disease included changes in bowel motions/habits, rectal bleeding, anaemia, severe persistent or periodic abdominal pain, a lump or mass in the abdomen, tiredness and loss of weight for no obvious reason.
