Tolerance and Acceptance
In platforms like Neighbourly, there will ALWAYS be comments / views that differ from our own.
And so it should be.
We live in diverse communities and should be able to respect / tolerate differing opinion.
There are a few things that get up my nose at times - but hey! Who am I to judge? Add a comment, ask for clarification, or ignore is my motto.
I do find that at times the generational gap can lead to misconceptions.
Just ask for clarification! Put oneself in other's shoes.
Thanks heaps to our Neighbourly Team. In saying that ... am beginning to think we need a '3 strikes' approach really.
It just may be an idea that any 'censored message' is followed up with a reason so one is able to to adjust.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
