The Twins Thread

[Lou Girardin]

It's disturbing that one of the main protagonists in this thread used his mod 'power' to close it.
It should have been someone else.

I wonder if he was wearing his underpants over the top of his leathers when he used his special powers?

True but it was a rubbish thread and it served no purpose other than to inflate Mr Popularity's own ego.

I dunno Spud, I quite enjoyed some of the hypocrites getting pissy and resorting to personal insults that they so abhorr.

[Squeak the Rat]

Yeah, the lets-get-the-last-word-in before I close it approach was a bit off I thought, regardless of viewpoint.

Does this mean I can call you a bastard yet... or does that whole married parents things still stand?

[The_Dover]

I don't know.

Can I be a post-marital bastard as they are now divorced? Is there a word for that?

[SPman]

All about this?
So much angst....
"Walk with me on this one folks, yesterday the Herald on Sunday proclaimed “Twin baby girls deaths prompt homicide investigation’ – now I thought about that, and it seemed curious to me that the Police would automatically launch a homicide without getting a post-mortem first. Unless there was clear evidence of suspicious cause, surely the Police would wait, especially with the sensitivities you would give any grieving parent.

As if the death of a child couldn’t be ‘worse’, the pain must be expediential because it is twins.

Now add to all of this pain the ‘suggestion’ that ‘another Maori twin is murdered’. Add to the grief the hint in the media that the family is another Kahui beneficiary cluster/tumor. Is this the new low we accept from the media? That we would all jump to a negative conclusion, is that the ‘light’ our news media provides on important social issues, so that when innocent until proven guilty is really needed, we all fail the test?

The Police were very quick today to say that they were waiting for the coroner as the post-mortem said the death wasn’t suspicious. They also complained that it was the media who reported this as a Homicide Inquiry when that wasn’t their intent.

The horrible conclusion seems to be that dead maaaaris sell papers, because it secretly matches what the media have told us to believe.

What an ugly time we live in. "

You are right in questioning it, however the fact is that Finn asked me to close it, so I did

[onearmedbandit]

Fair enough then, but I must say the 'getting the last word in' was a bit off.

[Quasievil]

Yeah, the lets-get-the-last-word-in before I close it approach was a bit off I thought, regardless of viewpoint.

Youre Kidding right ,Finn the great antagonist,Finn the guy that accussed inocent parents of killing their children, Finn that calls Maoris Animals and even KB members were abused by his racsit tounge, Finn the guy that was wiggling like a lowlife abusing everyone on the thread right to the very end instead of apologising.

Yup I enjoyed re posting his abuse at the end of the thread so all will see what a racist idiot he is, that is the kind of CRAP that drags KB and its members down, he can go elsewhere and stay there

I reckon mods should realise that they are not in a place of power, rather in a place of service... its not about egos and how important people think they are, its about staying objective and doing what is right for KB, staying within in parameters that Spank has set us.

The only person who has the right to throw his weight around is Spank... its wierd... he knows it, you know it, I know it... but he does not, he just does what is needed for the site to run properly.

The thread did attract a few complaints and I did get a phone call about it as well... I agree it should have been locked - but maybe not in the way it was.

[onearmedbandit]

Well said Joni.

[Joni]

Oh and another thing guys... if you have an issue with what a Mod is doing please contact a Senior Mod and let them try and sort things out. If Hitch, myself or SP cant do it... it can be elevated to Spank.

Im under the belief that what gets done gets done for a reason. I have had posts deleted or moved (120 in one day once ) and seen people complain for this that or the next thing.

IMHO, mods cop enough shit, if they do something its in the intrests of KB, no point in questioning it unless you feel genuine enough its cause they went out of their way to "get" at you
