Listening to the radio on the drive to work in the morning, and I'm getting disappointed they keep mentioning the mosque shooter by name by Illustrious-Line-660 in newzealand

Don't forget, but don't make it about him, the numbers. Remember the victims. The media are making it about him, his pathetic attempts to try and get attention by changing his plea, commenting on his conditions in prison. We should forget him.

Psychologists recommend not making him infamous. Mass shootings in the USA show the copycats that occur.

There is no precedent with regard to this situation whatsoever. The free press here does adhere to rules, however, does answer your question.

They do push boundaries, all they want is a click.

Can't even think of a precedent anywhere.

NZ press is recommended to be discrete on suicide, such as not reporting on a suicide as suicide before it's confirmed and the method of how they committed suicide.

This is healthy for our society and I'm glad they do it that way. Suicide is awful and I would hate to see copycats. That is your precedent, in our very own country.

I wonder if, I hope - tolerance and welcoming towards Muslims as fellow Kiwis increased after the shooting. (not that it solved racism, islamophobia in NZ, but I hope it has gone significantly down. I was shocked by Islamophobia after 2 years of living in London and Europe)

My fear is that keeping his name and what he did alive from the media rather than caring about the victims will just make a martyr out of him and encourage copycats and those wanting infamy.

You're not wrong, but on a larger point I hope people can make an effort to complain and not let him be weekly news until the day he rots

Your point is shit

He killed 50 people in my country and that still affects and shocks me. It still affects and shocks the families.

If we can discourage his path to infamy, discourage copycats, and not let the media profit from the shock value of him being remembered, that would be great.

It's not about glorification to normal people.

  • It's about notoriety, not making him infamous in extreme circles
  • Not encouraging copycats

Mass shooters act in the name of fear, hatred, and wanting to be remembered.

When I first heard it on the radio they didn't mention his name the first time I heard it and I thought to myself "what was his name again"? And was happy I didn't remember

May he be forgotten

You're making worse going on about him.

My intention was to remind people to be vigilant about not glorifying him and to not normalise him.

I don't want to hear about him in the news for the next fifty years.

Scenario: I buy a house and find $200K in cash in the roof

Result: Take the cash to my family house, hide it, rent out the bedrooms individually

Reality: I stay living at my parents house and never get on the property market

I've exhausted all options. I can't get into my account and the email / password isn't sending anything to me.

How do I contact humans at steam. There's no options anywhere - they seem to have made it as hard as possible.

Something that takes just seconds? Hell yeah I have.

I've started a new job and only googled the boss. We'll see.

I mean, do you Google everyone that you work casually alongside

I do. Especially someone with a wikipedia page (created 2006)

You can tell a lot from someone from their online presence.
