I suspect he might have posted a link to this site? I know a couple of others did that but I think they just got their post deleted not a ban. It certainly feels / sounds more like a state-sponsored crackdown on ‘forbidden communication’ than a privately run website. It seems to be more heavily controlled than Twatter and Facelook which is saying something. Not quite, I just made a comment that there were other sites which allowed ALL voices to be heard. that was my banning right then bizarre way to run a site i didn’t say anything nasty, contentious , nor incorrect but like NZ is rapidly becoming, it’s not alllowed |

I can't bring myself to read 1984 (started it twice, reads too much like a documentary), but I private messaged a link to here to a poster looking for the elusive KM. I rather suspect it was schooner. Was that you I messaged schooner?
Managed to get away with the PM, it seems.
Schooner, who is donkey chops, and if its the PM, why that name? it is a bit too cerebral for me. We will have to have a good arguement soon to pass your time recovering from your knee op.
I'm rather concerned there is too much agreement around here and we are turning into an echo-chamber.
Schooner, I think your avatar is an affront to electric car drivers like me. Clearly you need to be more responsible with the industrial chemicals you buy, and ensure ethically sourced products only. Besides, if it weren't for me buying my PHEV, than Congolese kid would have no income, be starving, and probably have to work as a child soldier. I think you may be judging African living standards through European eyes.

I'm rather concerned there is too much agreement around here and we are turning into an echo-chamber. I agree. We need some of the lefter-leaning folks here too - the difference being their posts wouldn’t be deleted. Unfortunately many of those lefter-leaning characters were also playing dual roles as moderators - which obviously hasn’t ended well for them if they wanted to maintain traffic. Someone could invite them - if they’re not already banned? 😊 |

I think you may be judging African living standards through European eyes. it me. And I think my avatar is judging the rich moaning white girl rather than the poor kid polluting himself to death for an electric car that is worse for the environment than a new diesel... And you ask. . How do I justify that? Easy. .just watch this with an open mind... www.google.com/search?q=unobtainium+youtube&oq=unobtainium+yiutube&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0i13i30.35363j0j9&client=ms-android-oppo-rev1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:4b94846f,vid:bOUUk5REbiU,st:0 Now... If every car maker put a Congolese kid into school for every car they made that would save the planet faster than an ev. Even better if we stopped having children for 1 year then the climate would be fine. Fish, I'm keen to debate with anyone and see where it leads. It's all healthy 👍 . And you know Chops is slang for Teeth?... A big gob full of teeth! ... |

It’s like ‘that other place’ has become a microcosm of NZ in terms of rules & regs / controls / censorship / lack of free discussion. Why do that to yourself? It’s a very uptight way to live with all that hand-wringing and teeth-gnashing. 😊 Brilliant 👍 |

and 20 years later
we will follow the americans down the hole of an extremely polarised electorate
as the vast and efficient filtering mechanism of the internet has allowed us the fine-tune who we associate with and
at least avoid the unpleasantness of being screamed at/banned by the thin-skinned
