Notice to Posters
While The Daily Blog welcomes viewpoints from a wide variety of sources, we have noticed lately an increasing amount of bad behaviour from some participants posting intemperate comments on this Forum. A number of them appear to be NZ First supporters.
Please take note that our patience is being sorely tested by some of the ad hominem attacks we have been seeing, and having to decline for publication.
To remind participants, TDB reserves the right to decline publication of submissions that are:
- defamatory
- break Court suppression-orders
- of a prurient nature
- irrelevant/off-topic
- repetitive
- flooding (multiple submissions)
- spamming
- offensive/trolling
- hateful/ad hominem
If certain individuals persist with their behaviour which has crossed into trolling territory, then their posting privileges will be rescinded permanently. Passion for your beliefs is fine. Intemperate ad hominem comments are not. The Daily Blog is not a free-for-all and we insist on a standard of good behaviour.
Thank you for everyone’s co-operation.

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, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar
Sounds about right.
About time Ref!
Umm, I don’t think you quite understand a peculiarity of your website.
I once posted a comment, but when I clicked on ‘Go back’ at top left of screen, back came my comment with ‘Post Comment’ underneath it again. So I did. Next day, my comment was there twice. I twigged that I should just Post Comment once, and ignore the second posting offered.
New posters of comments do not know this – when they try to post a comment and it all comes up on their screen again, they assume it did not go through, so try to post it again.
Above, poor old Slippery posted the same comment 3 times. I guess he’ll learn… but it would be better if you fixed this failing in your website.
The multiple postings are your fault, not the posters’.
[In Vino. We take your point. No, I don’t mean inadvertent duplicate postings such as Slippery’s above. We understand that is a ‘quirk’ of this website’s programme. I mean repetition, where a poster makes the same argument over and over again, using near identical comment, links, etc. In some instances, postings with near-identical content have been made on multiple threads of discussion. It makes the job of the moderators and Admin much harder as we might not be aware that one post has been previously made, on several occasions, as we are “on duty” at different times. We do not want to have debate drowned out by one person attempting to dominate the discourse. – Scarletmod]
Fair enough – fully agree with that.
I think if you at least have the balls to use your own name you should get away with a lot more.
But am happy with the tolerance you show me. (80% pass rate, not complaining)
Thanks for all the effort this thing much take
[The problem is, Robert, that it would be difficult to determine who is using a real name, or an alias. We’d have to physically track down every name on the electoral roll, and then phone the person to confirm they are legitimate. I haven’t got time to do that and and paid job and run my household. In your case, I can remember declining only one or two of your submitted posts. I can’t speak for the other moderator or Admin, though, sorry. – Scarletmod]
Doesn’t look like you’r making much progress here Scarlet!

[No, we’re making a bit of progress, David. The number of submitted posts being declined for publication has dropped slightly, which is good. I take no pleasure binning some submitted comments which cross the line. – Scarletmod]
Try getting opposing views published on whaleoil. At least this site lets you have your say and good debate often flows.
‘…..Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics’
It may be difficult for a rigid metality that pidgeon holes all to a system of polarization,two legs bad, four legs good, to imagine, but some of us have no such rigid position of rejection on any of the above.
We don’t really know the long term effect of vaccination, fluoride or chemtrails. We do know that Doctors won’t dish out antibiotics as freely as they once did. Some accept global warming and the real possiblity of the sixth extinction while not entirely rejecting causes in the universe which are additional to man made global warming.
As for 9/11 the excerpt below from an article by Paul Craig Roberts may well be rejected by some but one wonders why?
“There are now 3,000 architects and engineers who put their reputation on the line by challenging the official story of the collapse of the WTC buildings. According to all known science, the official explanation of the destruction of the 3 highrise WTC buildings is strictly impossible. There is endless evidence online provided not by ignorant presstitutes, conspiracy theorists, and lying politicians, but by real experts. Just go to the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth website, to the Firefighters and First responders for 9/11 Truth website, to the Pilots for 9/11 Truth website. Research what some foreign government officials have to say about the absurd story told by the US government. That any percentage of the US population believes the obvious false official 9/11 story is proof of the total failure of education in America. Much of the population is incapable of thought. People simply accept whatever the government tells them regardless of the absurdity of the explanation.”

As for hate speech, I for one don’t believe in forced, top down, socially engineered control of the minds and hearts of people. We all know about the walls built in Israel to confine the Palestinians and that a wall with heavy surveillance systems had begun on the U.S./ Mexican border well before the arrival of citizen Trump. Come to think of it the Chinese built a wall to keep out the Mongolians. Was this racist? Walled cities were common in feudal times. I wonder why? Did the Hindus welcome the Moghuls, the Turks, the Portugese or the British? Has humanity changed? Jesus bloody Christ no. It’s worse than fucking ever and no amount of forced social behaviour is ever going to make it any fucking better.
A more constructive thing to do would be to truly understand why, in the present era, this is the case.
[Archonblatter, you’ve made your point and slipped in conspiracy theory stuff. Anything further will not be published. Anyone interested in such material can find it easily on the web, if they so desire. – Scarletmod]
Great comment 100% +++
Agreed
As a swinging voter and posting the odd comment here I have been accused as a troll. This just goes to shoe that females should not be in charge of anything.
Seriously though with the greatest of respect it does smack a bit of curtailing of free speech unless you say what we want you to say.
@Scarletmod. All sounds a bit doctrinal to me. I imagine none of us prolies are allowed to question the official reasons for invasion into Iraq, Libya, who has been funding the proxy war against the Assad government in Syria or the deep state reality of of the recent U.S. election. You may well feel that alternative possibilities and theories are a threat to the perceived, logical positivist, nuts and bolts, staunch and true, really very decent and sincere socialist reputation of T.D.B. and the N.Z. Labour Party but our world is not what it was in the glory days before 1984. That is the dilemma of the N.Z. Labour Party.
It is no more tuned to the present day populist stream of thought than the National Party. It is clear to me that I have indeed, failed to make any point whatsoever but I would urge you to abdicate your position, stay at home and spend time reading. You’ll be on the very bones of your arse but in the long term it’s worth it. You could begin with Prof. Alfred Mc Coy’s ‘The Politics of Heroin in South East Asia.’
A densly annotated book which has been translated into 20 languages.
If I, a degreeless female creature appoaching 80 can manage this I’m sure you can.
Then you may pehaps, pivot to Jo Marchant’s ‘Cure a Journey into the Science over Mind over Body,’ published 2016. Marchant has a PhD in genetics and medical microbiology and “spent three years probing the inner workings of cells at a top London hospital.” The raving reviews alone are worth reading.There were 18 holds on the copies in the Auck. Library Service so I bought a copy.
My sincere advice is, get in touch with the age in which we live. Trump feigned this and actually got to be president. The stuff of myth.
Sexist rubbish.
The Daily Blog isn’t a free for all and only the trolls would enjoy such a state of anarchy.
No media allows unlimited freedom of publication so why some expect it on the internet is beyond me.
Priss;
“Sexist rubbish.

Shear Hypocrasy.!! Coming from one of the trolls himself.
Do you really think that readers on this site have not worked out what has been
happening on this site for a very long time?
On most social media sites is my understanding.
“If certain individuals persist with their behaviour which has crossed into trolling territory, then their posting privileges will be rescinded permanently. Passion for your beliefs is fine. Intemperate ad hominem comments are not. The Daily Blog is not a free-for-all and we insist on a standard of good behaviour.”
Do you actually understand what “Intemperate ad hominem “ means?
You have just broken 3 of the rules right here.!!
One rule for “us,” another rule for “them” aye?
Perhaps you need retraining
No cheers.
With a moderator like you, who needs government censorship?
Already here on Daily Blog.
You have fallen into the ignorant /no time to research /but I KNOW BEST AUTHORITARIAN mindset.
Generations who have been around longer than you, who are still in possession of their mental faculties can only weep in despair at your narrowmindedness and I wholly endorse ARCHONBLATTER above (- what a superbly written true and eloquent comment. )
