    Similarly, the admonition "Harden up snowflakes" isn't sexist, but it is a putdown. And I think that is important because here in NZ, there is a very clear connection between our propensity for "innocent" jibes and putdowns, and a whole raft of social ills.

    Over 40 years of clinical experience I have come to understand that there is a slippery slope between sexist and disrespectful comments and grossly abusive language, yelling, pushing and shoving, and (ultimately) bruises and blood. And that is why I call disrespectful postings when I see them and will continue to do so
    I find it hard to follow your logic that making fun of a persons name makes their comment sexist And I am someone that doesnt take kindly to sexist comments.

    You are more than likely correct that making fun of a persons name is disrespectful but respect is earned not a given and at the moment not many of us respect her. Personally I find the nick name Herd Licker quite amusing in a non sexist way

    Stick a salt block into a trough and see what happens. The herd will have their heads buried in it in no time at all.

    Chairman was it? I probably got confused with the non stop mockery of DD at the time... Unlike PEB, hopefully this CEO isn't mocked for years to come...

    I'm still waiting for ATM's CEO to provide an excuse... "prior commitments" certainly ain't one

    I reckon some people on here would still be cynical if a CEO sold some shares after 10 years at the helm because they needed the money for a relatives late stage experimental cancer treatment. Acknowledge the optics are not great but I think there's a least a decent chance the reason given is genuine what with Australia's crippling top tax rate of 47% and capital gains taxes as well !

    DD will stop the non stop mocking when his company delivers on promises and moves off its current $0.32 and heads back to $1.70 - where it was in 2014.

    Hopefully this isnt the start of ATM's long slow drift down off relative highs.

    To support that, there's also an argument that goes, the explanation that's been given must be genuine as they would know this would cause such a massive backlash, if any inkling of info that influenced the SP negatively was to come to light in the foreseeable future.

    I will be reducing my holding down to 10% of my portfolio total over the next while, for me that's a huge protest vote.PS-No it won't be a panic sell.
