We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
Just as stunning is how many NZers are caught up in protesting American issues -- not protesting on the basis of any principle, but protesting *as if* they are living in America.
ReplyDeleteBecause they watch American news channels, it's as if they think they're actually there.
But their protesting is perfectly consistent with identity politics. It's not about an injustice suffered by one individual from one police officer, it's about pushing a narrative of victimhood for minorities and "white supremacy".
DeleteIndeed. If it were actually about justice, more actual injustice might have been removed.
DeleteRemarkably anglo-centric of them to do so too.
