Hard News: A message from The Fabians, in reply to Stephen Judd,
Abraham Lincoln didn't have to deal with Paddy Gower demanding he account for every piss splatter in the urinal.
Eloquently put, Stephen.

I think it's very ironic that the Herald's commenting guideline says:
We aim to have healthy debate. But we won't publish comments that abuse others
Why don't they apply that to their columnists? Although it's significant that the Herald notes that O'Sullivan is "A columnist for the NZ Herald" rather than a journalist.

Not picking up on false equivalences, and subsequently falling for misdirection.
Fran's not falling for anything. She's part of the misdirection.

Oh for the good old days when I was the only me on the internet, now there are thousands of me – we gave our kids both our surnames, they’re still unique
Exactly why I use nzlemming everywhere ;-)

Soooo pleased I am not following any of those people.

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Brent Jackson,
The Farrar angle is there now, under the heading ‘Dirty Politics’.
It's entirely possible that 'the Fish' (as Russell called him) was alerted to it after the initial report, perhaps through these very pages ;-)
Interesting that the heading includes single quote marks. Is that because it is quoting somebody (ie it is in speech marks), or is this a use of scare quotes.
Not scare quotes as much as lack of proper style options in composing headlines. Single quotes are often used to denote book titles, as is underlining (but on the web that would look like a link). Double quotes are used to indicate someone else's words, rather than the reporter's.

OnPoint: Sunlight Resistance, in reply to David Hood,
Just reading about Jarrod Gilbert over in the dirty politics thread, I’d like to say I would be quite happy to put my name into a website run by a trusted party that assigned me a OIA request that someone who didn’t want the government tippid off by who was asking wanted forwarded onto the government
You might want to have a chat with https://fyi.org.nz about the possibility of that.
