Be careful when posting comments on Stuff.

Chris from Prebbleton

I just posted a comment on Stuff about the number of rather silly people on our roads. I used the term 'idiots' and got a message back from Stuff saying I have used inappropriate language. I changed 'idiots' to 'dreamers' and it got through. However the term 'idiots' and 'dreamers' really have different meanings in the context I used it. So what term could I have used instead of 'idiots' to convey a sense of 'stupid' ?
Censorship is alive and doing well in New Zealand. Is Stuff now owned and operated by Youtube ? Or is this the new woke of not being allowed to use descriptive words where they are needed ?
