Narking to employers
September 2nd, 2010 at 12:00 pm by David FarrarDanyl blogs:
Just a warning to everyone commenting on this blog: I’ve recently been made aware that someone posting on one of the discussion threads using their real name has had a complaint made to their employer. The offending comments in question were (very mildly) critical of the Labour Party. The substance of the complaint is that they were made during work hours.
Classy, huh? So I prefer it if people use their real names when they comment on the blog – it makes for a more civilised and polite level of discussion. But in future if you want to criticise the developed world’s most worthless opposition party you might want to use a pseudonym, lest one of its supporters or staffers (who also read and comment extensively during work hours, going by the IP addresses) take umbrage and elect to put you in your place by threatening your employment.
This is not an isolated incident. A wee while ago someone complained to the State Services Commission about a centre-right blogger who works in a Govt ministry. Their boss had okayed them blogging (which pre-dated their job) so long as they avoided issues around that ministry, but they stopped blogging because no one really wants to risk the job. I have no doubt the intent of the complaint was to shut down the blogger.

Perhaps it would be appropriate to name and shame the tittle tattle. They behave in a childish way so lets treat them as a child.
Only take a couple of examples and it would stop.
Because, its an attempt at censorship via the back door. Above all we Kiwi’s need our freedom to speak, even in work time. And then it only matters if the person concerned doesn’t get their work done. Clearly though a culture like that threatens some people. Ironic when the complainer has wasted a shit load of time and money being an arsehole.

So then all you adjudicators of commenting protocol. What is the recommended option? Real name or nom de guerre? It is clear that there are obvious repercussions to criticising the left under your real name. And I would suggest the more severe the criticism, the more severe the repurcussions.
But hasn’t it always been that way with the left? Throughout history, their objective has always been to stifle ideas and thoughts that extend any further than the concepts they “approve”.

Well during work hours anyone who is on the net not doing what they are paid to do is sort of similar to someone sitting at your desk reading a book or having a sleep.

Bevan old chap. I wasn’t asking him to out himself; I was merely providing the honest answer to the question put to him. He doesn’t provide his real name because he wants to remain anonymous; like most of the rest of us. It has nothing to do with the prospect of some lefty polgram or jihadist head chopping foray. The fact that he mentioned lefty repercussions is simply further confirmation that m’baiter is full of it. The real answer is that he just doesn’t want people to know who he is, but unlike the rest of us, and being the mega bullshit merchant that he is, he just can’t bring himself to admit it.
Vote:September 2nd, 2010 at 12:59 pm
“Well during work hours”
Maybe so in some instances, but I marvel at the number of commenters whose concepts regarding the earning of income extend no further than a five day a week nine to five job. Apparently there’s many out there who cannot think out side this paradigm. Quite strange really, and I would suggest due somewhat to the parochial nature of NZ society, the large number of government employees, and the quantity of retired civil servants whom I suspect proliferate here.

Employees in general have a real ‘freedom of expression’ problem. To a lesser extent the self employed have a similar difficulty. Youngsters also have a potential problem.
Beneficiaries and the retired do not face such issues, they can say what they like within the bounds of decency and defamation law. Also many people especially in ‘non jobs’ such as unionists, political advisers, teachers, academics, reverend gentlemen, in general face no such limitations.

didn’t you know that is why MOST people sign on a nom de plume.
The left (which includes the Labour , Maori and Green parties) is never to be trusted with anything.
Why am I not surprised with this story, because it has happened before and will happen again.
The left considers them selves to be our superiors and in their minds anything goes as long as they win as it is for our own good.
This is just the same as the Islamic attitude/value of Taqiyya where Muslims can act in an ummuslim way, lie or say or hold positions as long as it leads to victory against the enemy.
The left is and always will be the enemy of democracy and until people get that society will get screwed over by them and it exp-lains why they are happy to ride alongside creeping sharia.

The truth hurting Pete? He is right. The left are a vicious cowardly and nasty lot, and anyone who has actively pursued policies and attitudes that confront their ideology, and been vocal in that pursuit, knows only to well what they are capable of.
Impersonation (leaving messages all over the web under someone else’s name to discredit or smear them, as MNIJ is currently doing right now) is only part of it. They are largely despicable scum, and the reason they are like that is that to be a leftist, one has to be void of morality and self respect. Leftists (Progressives in particular) generally will commit any immorality, with the only restraint being the likelihood of being caught out.

I have always said this. The left (especially the Progressives) have no answer to criticism and therefore the only way they can defend their position is through personally attacking their critics. This complements their common personality defect, a lack of morality, and taken together, these two afflictions logically explain their rancid behaviour towards anyone who seriously opposes them.

The term “the left” only dates back to the times of French Revolution so cannot be “throughout history”.
their objective has always been to stifle ideas and thoughts that extend any further than the concepts they “approve”
Stifling ideas beyond “approved” concepts has been widely used and still is, as much by conservative Christians and Muslims and Redbaiter as it has by leftie groups, but there is no evidence that it “has always been their (the left’s) objective”.

Well, I guess the opening point I wish to make is that whether you are a communist or not is not the point, in that in any discussion, I am entitled to call you one if I consider that you have demonstrated to me that you are one, and you have done this often enough.
Secondly, to choose such a subjective model as your best point demonstrates the first mark against you, in to be a communist, one has to disavow logic, history and rationale, and you do that by means of choosing this allegation as the subject you can best argue against. It also demonstrates you’re a loser, another mark of the communist.
Thirdly, your demonstrated lack of honour is another mark against you. So as far as the psychological profile goes, you’re well within the boundaries of being the pathological misfit that communists always are, and quite capable of committing the boundless atrocities against human kind that communists are well known for.
Now, on to the political front- what part of “from each according to ability, to each according to need” do you disagree with?

I put a number of possible debate topics into the mix but you insisted on just one – now you say that isn’t the point? And head off on various tangents. You can call me whatever you like, as you do, but the real point here is that you claim not to lie or smear but you apply unsubstantiated and unsubstantiated names to me and many others, so I thought communist was an easy one for you to deal with.
You haven’t answered my first, repeated question. What definition of “communist” do you base it on?
Vote:Saying “I consider that you have demonstrated to me” is not a definition, nor proof.

“to be a communist, one has to disavow logic, history and rationale”
“your demonstrated lack of honour is another mark against you” (you refused to demonstrate honour above)
“you’re well within the boundaries of being the pathological misfit ”
“quite capable of committing the boundless atrocities against human kind” – you have suggested stringing various people and groups up from lampposts a number of times, and try to promote revolution with “blood in the streets”
You seem to be qualifying yourself to fit within your perception of communist.

“You seem to be qualifying yourself to fit within your perception of communist.”
But that is not the objective of the debate Pete. You objective is to prove my allegation wrong. Lets keep on track if you don’t mind. Now (again) – what part of “from each according to ability, to each according to need” do you disagree with?

“You objective is to prove my allegation wrong. ”
Not really, because I know you are wrong. I have never been a communist, I have never been accused of being a communist outside of this blog. But that is not provable, just like you can’t prove you have never been receiving an unemployment benefit.
More to the point, you make a range of accusations that you can’t prove. That means you are making things up. Lying or thick?
What colour lipstick are you wearing today?
But for the purposes of debate, again then – What definition of “communist” do you base it on?
Re: Now (again) – what part of “from each according to ability, to each according to need” do you disagree with?
Vote:In what context? Commenting on a partial quote on it’s own is meaningless. I know it’s a Karl Marx quote (just checked on Google) but even if I had known it that proves nothing. Was that some sort of a trick question?
September 3rd, 2010 at 5:24 pm
“Was that some sort of a trick question?”
No, but if you cannot find any part of it to disagree with its pretty much the end of the debate about whether my allegation that you are a communist lacks any justification.
Vote:September 3rd, 2010 at 5:45 pm
That’s pathetic. You didn’t disagree with any part of “What colour lipstick are you wearing today?” – does that prove you are a transvestite?
What definition of “communist” do you base your accusations on? You seem to keep avoiding that question. It’s not a trick. It’s a key to the debate.
We can get on to your accusation that I am capable of atrocities against humankind after we sort out the basics.

“I confirm that “you are a communist” is the unsubstantiated allegation that I choose to debate.”
Your own words. It is not about me. It is about whether my allegation that “you (Peter George) are a communist” is “unsubstantiated”. Now (again) – what part of “from each according to ability, to each according to need” do you disagree with?
Continued failure to respond to this simple question will provide all of the substantiation any reasonable person would need.
Vote:September 3rd, 2010 at 6:20 pm
Your allegation is totally unsubstantiated – you can’t/won’t even define “communist”. Continued failure to respond to this makes any other claims meaningless.
Re your quote, now (again) – in what context do you want me to comment on it? I think that’s an appropriate sentiment for a family.

You just demolish any credibility you might have had. You’re a joke – I get plenty of laughs at your nonsensical “debating” so that accusation is substantiated.
