What makes Cindy a cheap name?
Looking back through previous P.Ms you'll find John for Johnathon.
Bill for William.
Jenny for Jennifer.
Jim for James
Mike for Michael.
Rob for Robert,
and the inexplicable one, Bill for Wallace.
So Cindy can't be too far off, although I believe she is better known as Cinda

All names those people wanted to be called - that's the difference.

The Mosque shooter was using free speech well with his manifesto (not).

I read that manifesto. There was nothing in there that would even give a censor cause for concern. Maybe a PG rating, but there was no call to kill or anything like that. That leftist manifesto would pass most "hate speech" laws that are passed to this day.
There is plenty more turgid stuff freely available on the internet right now that is a lot worse.

Cindy suits her so well though - all fluff and no substance.

Think she will be wearing the hijab today?

You don't know what they wanted to be called. Do you not remember Jim Bolger moaning because he wanted to be called James?

No I don't recall that.
If that is true then he should have been called James and it is disrespectful to call him Jim.
Of course, calling him Jimmy as a put down would be even worse.

When I went to school these still would have been three things ;

Shutting down? Where does that end? If posts fall foul of blog rules then mods can take action. Political threads are routinely robust, especially in an election campaign.

Don't like it, don't read it, don't respond. It's not mandatory.

I said bullying should be shut down, not discussion and political debate. Bullying is not okay. You call it robust, I call it bullying when there is name-calling and the person is attacked rather than discussing the issue.
