       #AtaMārie everyone. Seeing the headline of the PM's response to the #BlackFerns win made me wonder whether we can say Jacinda Ardern over here without the misogynist and hate-filled responses every time her name is mentioned. Being able to do political discussion without all of that will be such a relief. #nzpol #NZTwits

       @JeremyWxBaker that's what I'm hoping too, although I wouldn't use that term for them. Misogynists and haters will do. I expect they will want to disrupt what we have here, so real appreciation for the mods who do the work of keeping them out.

       @JeffHowell having been a mod for blogs and FB pages in the past, I know how difficult it is. Especially as trolls will test your rules every which way they can. It can be exhausting, not to mention the awful stuff you have to read and delete before everyone else sees it. Hats off to them, really.
