Speaker: Why churches should marry…, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
Meanwhile The NZ Herald presents a quote – as if it were verbatim:
“I pray that you will commit suicide, you filthy fag.”
yet they edited some of the egregious material out without indicating that they had.
Were they trying to water it down or what?I suspect they were worried about defamation risk in re-publishing an allegation of child molestation. Not with any real grounds, of course, but that's my guess.

Ah. Here's a story on the design company that did the sex dungeon^H^H^H fitout for 135 Albert Street. Something about "bump spaces" and "casual meetings". Ooo-er.

Hard News: Some reprehensible bullshit, in reply to simon g,
The editor – not a newbie intern, but the fricking editor – says, of Auckland councillors on Twitter:
“Maybe they’d all attend more if they had their own hidden rooms to muck about in.”
And from her former colleague, Tony Wall, also to me:
"oh for god's sake enough of the moralising - it was just a good old fashioned yarn !"
This really is some bullshit.

Hmmm, so people really do just sit back and accept shoddy journalism because there’s nothing else?
Because a lot of good, important journalism comes with it. Fisher, Nippert and others. Excellent magazine writing by the likes of Alan Perrott, etc. As vexing as it might be, the Herald is probably the best paper we have.

I've come to the conclusion the only solution is cloning Todd Niall.
