Hi Julian,

It is ABSOLUTELY a cheeky thing to do!

My ‘haha’ comment on Kiwiblog was in response to another poster who wrote:

the people who foisted the EFA address disclosure requirements onto us deserve to have THEIR addresses published like the Libertarianz joked they might do, and to suffer the consequences.

I was laughing at their suggestion that we were joking about publishing Helen’s address.

Humour in general is a great way of calling attention to things like this, and it makes people more likely to tell their friends than a stern, dry, humourless lecture about property rights.

Besides, you have to laugh at these authoritarians and what they are doing. If you don’t laugh, the only other option is to cry.

Luke,
The placing of Helen’s address on Libz billboards is not “cheeky”, and as per your comment on Kiwiblog it is not something to laugh about ie you say “haha”. The placing of Helen’s address makes a deadly serious point, something which should never be made light of and treating it as a joke undermines and diverts (and has diverted) attention from the argument being made here.

Nice job!

Great to see some positive press (and in a national paper too)
