Yes, the brave Bluemagic totally missed the point that I was being sarcastic, parodying Auckland-phobic attitudes.
(As a Maori person might say, I'm from Wellington, but I stay in Auckland. I love both cities,even though Wellington's too cold and not ethnically diverse enough, and Auckland has crap public transport and is packed with rich NIMBYs who like to ruin things for the rest of us.)
