Keith,

Ngarmada decides who is a racist, and Graham doesn't seem to mind people being called racists. However, if we call the likes of Ngarmada names, that's not OK. Mac calls me a cyber bully; I call him a milk sop and hope that he won't pee his pants, and my post gets deleted. The post calling me a cyber bully remains intact.

I think it is probably best to just express your opinion then move on without taking any notice of what others think of your opinions. Why people want to rubbish somebody else's opinions instead of expressing their own which makes it clear what they think is beyond me. But that's the way things are on OLO.

Best to ignore the lot of them.

David, your links do not go to specific posts. In fact your post is a bit light-on with specific details. What poster has been hounded-off? What were the comments about the contributor's muslim religion? Links to specific comments and names please.

I've read the paragraph where the term "final solution" is used and I don't read it as sinister. It is an unfortunate choice of phrase but does not appear to have any intended reference to the holocaust in it.

There are a lot of people on this site who hound others. Look at Severin in the comment above. She's always turning-up to have a go at me irrespective of the issue. It's tiresome, but it says more about her than it does about me.

I also have people question my motives because of my religion - check out http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=10176#165052 and http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=10176#165380. I cannot see any reason to stop people doing that, although it can get to a point where it constitutes flaming, when I will act. But public life is like that, and anyone who posts on this or any other forum is involving themselves in public life.

I also find it odd for you to complain about Ariel because he has correctly reported what is on bumper stickers and has opinions about Obama that you don't like. I'd agree that the comment on the thread is bizarre though.

I am honoured by your singling me out of a number of posters who disagree with you on certain topics and aren't intimidated from presenting their point of view.

Any reasonable person would consider the article written by J J Ariel to be offensive bordering on defamatory of Barack Obama. This is MY opinion nor am I alone in this POV - that you take my opinion as a personal affront says far too much about the CEO of OLO.

Severin,

"Any reasonable person would consider the article written by J J Ariel to be offensive bordering on defamatory of Barack Obama."

Why have we never been informed just what an oracle you are? It is quite clear, even on OLO, that like most things, opinion on anything is split 50-50. If you keep thinking that you know who is and who is not a "reasonable person" based purely on your opinions of everything, I suggest that you get yourself a body guard if you carry on in the general, physical population in the same manner as you do on OLO.

Don't be too pleased about being 'singled out' by Graham. He is a very mild-mannered man generally, and you need to look out if he actually names you.

Graham,

Rather than escalate matters on this forum I will email you privately at some point in relation to the matters I have raised. The harrassment of the female poster was fairly prolonged and I don't think its fair to call it simple hounding.

In relation to the "final solution" post - the term 'final solution' is the name that the Nazis gave for the final stages of the Holocaust. This is common knowledge. Moreover, in the years leading up to WWII there was much written in Germany about the 'Jewish problem'. Can you see the clear parallel between 'Jewish problem' and 'black problem.' Given that he's also talking about genocide, albeit an anti-white one, its kind of hard to miss the reference. Add to that the fact that the poster has been on the Stormfront website it seems pretty obvious. I would suggest that the name Stormfront references Stormtroopers ... and not the Star Wars variety.

*Yes Obama is a total failure.*

He is? Lets look at bit of history here.

Clinton leaves the White House, with a budget surplus and a
sound economy. What has been the Republican focus? Oral sex!
They sure taught American kids all about it :)

George and Dick take over, Rove scores a few goals for them,
with his "Osama under the bed" strategy. Little old ladies
are sucked in. George tells us that he talks to the lord
for advice.

Eight years later, America is in the gutter, broke, on the
verge of a global depression. The lord clearly did not
give Mr Bush any good answers! The place is a mess and it
will take years to sort it out. The Republicans decide
to solve it all by holding tea parties. Sarah the hunter
is standing by, she will sock it to em.

Obama wins office, against all odds. Its a great, well organised
campaign. In his first year he shows great judgement.
Rather then the lord, he confers with some of the smartest
in America, understanding that great ideas can come from
anywhere. Innovation, technology and venture capital is
what will save America, he pushes ahead on those fronts,
plus finally brings America to first world standards,
with a medical care for all. Within a year, the stockmarket
rises 60%. Keith's advise about sitting on those gold bars,
was clearly flawed judgement, as is his opinion about Obama.
