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 … View moreI 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 ?

Bad smells from Christchurch's fire-ravaged wastewater plant to continue for years

Bad smells reminiscent of the 1970s and 80s will continue seeping out of Christchurch’s fire-damaged wastewater treatment plant for years to come, the city council says.

Fire destroyed two trickling filters at the Bromley wastewater plant on November 1.

It was the biggest fire in the city in recent times and led to residents being evacuated and a public health warning issued as thick, black smoke spread across the city.

The filters, which measured 8 metres high and 55m across, played a crucial role in the wastewater process and unpleasant smells have been wafting across parts of the city since the fire.

Christchurch City Council water boss Helen Beaumont told councillors on Wednesday the plant would not get back to a pre-fire level of smell until the trickling filters were replaced or an alternative process brought in, which would be several years away.
