[Imc-aotearoa-ed] Exposing Dow

[clare]

thanks strypy, this is a good reply.

just so you know, the 'guess who hid it' refers to me. he has even 
taken to putting my name at the end of his posts to, a 'come and get me
if you dare' type taunt. 

there was an article i hid as sexist,quite a while ago, when he refered
to menstruating women as open infectious sores.
