Apropos the aesthetics of the modern "bach": it's a progression that seems unstoppable. Whangapoua is turning into Whangmata, Whangamata into Mt Maunganui, Mt Maunganui into Takapuna.
Wherever you are, there are some people who think that once we've cut down those trees we'll have a nice view of the beach.

Apropos gutted villas: perhaps the villas are learning.

apparently for the purposes of stalking.
Stalking implies intimidation, and that's what I'm wondering about. There's no address, there's no number, no contact details, and no call to action.
Don't get me wrong - I think this is idiotic, pointless, and so on. As Russell says, creepy even. But I think that the word Nazi is way over the top, and I don't think this reaches the level of Malkin-style persecution either.

How about one seeks msm publication while the other doesn't seek publication on a rightwing hate site? Would that be different enough?
No, it wouldn't, actually. That would amount to criticising things merely on the basis of who says them.
Publishing stuff about where people live is presumably problematic because it will cause those people to be harassed, or violate their privacy. I'm asking whether that is really the case here. Maybe, maybe not. It's certainly not like the classic American wingnut approach where phone numbers are published and readers are enjoined to take whatever action they see fit.
Yes, Slater is an odious man, but that doesn't mean everything he does is odious.

I dunno. Whaleoil is lacking the implied urging to his readers to go and wreak havoc on the Minto residence, whereas the genuine article intimidator piously hopes aloud that no one will do anything silly. If I were Whaleoil I would point to the publicity over Key's bach and ask what's different.

robbery: sorry, no. I would ask Petra who is an historian of all things pertaining to Hamilton and surrounding areas' music.

A name for every taste on that list.

The common element in the Boogadagas, the Calamari Bushmen, and Hapuka Lips Now was Rotorua emigres in Hamilton, such as Paul Tregilgas.
Anyway: Anyway, it's amazing what you can find if you look...
