Nice. I was just about to go looking for that. The way we used to roll.

My take of that is they won't be coming back. That was corporate speak for terminated.

Actually Steve, it's not up. You can enter that name in a field and see the name, but the page is disabled. Show me what you are seeing. Is it under a different name?
Seriously, do a screen shot. -

I certainly will. Well, I'll pass it on. Thanks.

That FB Roast Busters page which was up again is now down thanks to a call from a Kiwi director in LA to another Kiwi, Mark D'Arcy, who is now the Global CD of Facebook. He had it disabled immediately.

I reported it as well. "Credible threat of violence." 5 sec response. No. So I followed their discouragement process through to the leave a message form. Jesus. That must be what it's like dealing with Waitakere Police....

Hard News: Narcissists and bullies, in reply to Helen Marie,
That is a terrible story. My God.
My respect for the Police pretty much died 30 years ago when I was a young radio announcer flatting in Dunedin with a high profile Breakfast announcer and others. Our radio station was quite tight with the cops for some reason, and so we used to drink in the Police bar. I remember having peanut race drinking competitions with Detectives in the Dunedin Police bar when I was all of 18. Our flat in North Dunedin had one of the first Beta players around, and every Thursday night a group of uniform Senior Sergeants who were mates with the Breakfast jock would come over to watch porn. Yup. Watch porn and have a few beers. They weren't worried about the bongs that were laying around the flat, they just wanted to watch John Holmes and have a bit of a laugh. Maybe they had a smoke too. I don't know. I was doing nights that year, 8pm-12 midnight, so I wasn't around. There are more stories. But that's one. Coloured my opinion ever since.

A couple of police named Hales involved in the Mt Maunganui affair all those years ago. Brothers as it happens. Undoubtedly just a coincidence.

This is that on a much larger, more appalling scale. Detroit's shame.
