So you are an immigrant, Cheryl. That explains a lot. You are just another whinger who doesn't like the fact that things are not the way you want them in a county, for who knows what reason, let you in.

I clearly rattled your cage. Fancy going through my 'record' back to 4 years! There has only be one other extremely angry person who has gone to that trouble to get his 'own back' on me.

I'm only too happy to own the 'terrible' things I have said about John Howard (he is not a fellow poster, unlike the people you call names; Generation Y, who are also not fellow posters and were not addressed individually like the people you foul- mouth regularly; and multiculturalism was enforced and it is an obnoxious policy. You'll have to remind me who I called lickspittles. I'm not going to waste time finding the particular post. I can’t even remember referring to John Howard, but I’ll take your word for it. Fancy you, a big hater of what you misguidedly believe to be the ‘right wing’ taking offence at a remark made about John Howard!

I'm glad you've got a favourite. It's a pity I can't sign it for you. On that one, if you can prove I’m wrong, I will be happy to withdraw the remark.

You don't get it, though, do you Cheryl. You, like your 'gentleman' friend, call the few regular posters on OLO unpleasant names directly, just because what they say doesn't meet with your approval. If you think that lambasting a policy or a politician is the same as abusing an ordinary person just because he or she expresses an opinion, then you are a very confused person indeed.

Nice to chat with you. As a friendly gesture, could I recommend “Anger Management for Dummies” to you?

We're all immigrants Leigh. I understand that you have some issues with women, immigrants and Africans. Profiling your comments here on OLO its probable you're on medication and are writing in a confined space. If, as the writer of this article suggests, we live in a zoo, then I'll call you Mr Arachnid. You seem like a harmless variety.

Cheryl,

I'm not an immigrant. I'm a fourth generation Australian. Like all but about 3% of Australians, I don't have any convict blood in me, either. No one born here is an immigrant, Cheryl.

Problems with women? I don't judge all women on the ones like you. Problems with immigrants? No. Only those like you. I grew up with the first of the mass immigrants post-war. There was nothing wrong with them. Problems with Africans? No. Don't know any of them. The only reference to my comments on Africans was that they couldn't run their own countries (or something like that; you're the expert on me and what I said). No attempt to prove me wrong on that, I notice.

I see that you think that you are a analyst or therapist of some sort! Give it up. You know nothing about me. Try to work yourself out if you can. I was serious about the anger management book.

And still, you need to call people names: I'm to be Mr. Arachnid!

You are too sad to bother with.
