Apologies for the third attempt to publish this message. Perhaps WIX software does not like a post being called 'comments'.
Bassett, Brash and Hide publishes all comments automatically. This promotes immediacy for those who want to engage. Occasionally comments have and will be removed by the administrator - not the authors of this blog.
Reasons for removal have included threatening language, vulgarity, irrelevant and/or repeated content.
The 'comments enabling' button is set at ON. We would prefer not to impose pre-screening of comments. BB&H does not however exist to provide a platform for commentor's own agendas.
fair enough. I shared a post from here, and received a death threat from someone who claimed to be a gang member. I shared his threat - it was removed. A shame...
A comment on a comment about the comments! Sounds like the Labour party to me...
What I liked about this blog was its spontanaeity. I haven't really spotted anything I would consider offensive myself. Maybe a poster could be removed or red flagged if they offend more than once? I quite like seeing other viewpoints even if I disagree. Podcasts can be a bit tedious.
I was expecting some debate ( hopefully on this site) on the fact that the Opotiki foreshore ruling is not to be appealed by the government. Not even mentioned in question time in parliament , ouch!
Just keep doing what you are doing! Hearing Rodney Hyde on The Leighton Smith Podcast was the highlight of the week for me. It was one hour plus of sanity and reason, with vital references to history and the reality said history presents us. Yes, I was the dude sitting in my chair punching the air in agreement as Rodney pointed to the benefits of the enlightenment. Ten out of Ten Points to Leighton and Rodney. Paul
That seems totally reasonable to me.
Thanks and fair enough. If comments are removed, or nearly removed, it would be useful to provide some feedback, to help gauge what's considered 'hateful'. ☢️
