[Imc-aotearoa-ed] newswires a bit of a mess...

[clare]

lots of dk posts including  a herald article with this quote at the
bottom: dk said, " I want Hamiltons forehead opened up as soon as
possible"

its about ngawha, and the title is: Her Majesty's Swine enroute
article id =2940
i would be ok with this being reposted minus death threat, and with more
informative title.



then check out this, article id=2939. which does make me worry about
getting sued.



then this comment to his own post id 2943 "when the bulk of the
population is homosexual a city the size of Honolulu does need 200+
Mayors! Dairy Flat to Takapuna? How many Mayors?" 

i don't mind homophobic statements on the wire if debate/criticism of
that statement happens as a result. ie. from melbournes ed policy: "
.... words have the power to cause injury, but that instances of
injurious speech or writing should also be seen as opportunities for a
critical or insurrectionary response." thats what i think is the best
way to handle stuff too.  but i think dk's homophobic posts have gotten
to the point where nothing constructive can result. 

ok, i haven't had any coffee yet this morning, so i know i'm a little
intolerant. we need to do something about this though.
