is that not what we are doing?
im being censored and told i have a bee in my bonnet because its making someone uncomfortable.
i think that speaks more to political bias than anything ive written.
if the same thing was said about ms ardern, my reaction would be just the same.
for you its about politics, to me its about decency.
im sorry. i just call it how i see it.

Once again - had Luxon been clear about exactly who he was referring to, that would have avoided confusion. And perhaps also, the article being written. Or not.
It's clearly not the best idea for any politician to demean any group of people without defining who is meant.

i dont know, nor have ever met anyone who considers supermarket employees and dental assistants to be bottom feeders.
except mr campbell
be nice if we all took something positive away from it, which is what happens when you hear and absorb someone elses viewpoint.
if we all thought the same is how a message board becomes an echo chamber.

I'm not sure where dental assistants came from, Gordon Campbell doesn't refer to them in his article... he does refer to supermarket stock fillers and checkout chicks...

Who you or I or Lilith conjure up when thinking of bottom feeders is completely irrelevant. What matters is the perception that individuals have of the comments and they are entirely personal to the individual.
I would hazard your only motivation of this questioning to Lilith is to deflect/attack/discredit. Rather than holding Mr Luxon accountable for his actions...

Luxon made the comment - however Mr Campbell made the leap. You can spin that all you like but this thread isn't about holding Luxon to account it was trying to tie Mr Cambells comment to Luxon.

And if you are offended feel free to ignore me. Lilith is a big girl- pretty sure she doesn't need your assistance.
