Censoring anyone's right to express their point of view has no place in Australia. I certainly don't intend to be silenced. If you don't like what I write - then don't read it and don't respond to it.

You keep entreating OLO to ban me. If you don't like the OLO policy don't visit the OLO site.

By the way - how many times did I use the term "Palestinian Arabs" in my published articles on OLO over the past twelve months? Going to pick up your ball and run away again?

Dear David Singer,

I am well aware that by continuing to post on this thread I am contributing to your response count and therefore the likelihood we will be blessed again by your pearls of wisdom.

Not that I mind that much as you have certainly been a revelation to me and I think quite a few others who had been lulled into the notion that extremism primarily lay with the other side.

As to your statement “Censoring anyone's right to express their point of view has no place in Australia.' do you then condemn the actions of Colin Rubenstein and Mark Leibler?

From Crikey by Greg Barns;

“The column by Mr Backman, “Israelis are living high on US Expense Account”, was published in last Saturday’s Age. Colin Rubenstein and Mark Leibler, two of the most zealous Israeli lobbyists in Australia went ballistic, hammered The Age’s editor Paul Ramage, and the result was a grovelling apology by the newspaper which said the column was published in “error”.”

Please note there is a difference between asking OLO to ban you and asking them to justify your continuing to be published. I was quite keen to hear their argument.

To tell you the truth I would probably rather you continued to post. Your attitudes explain a great deal about what the Palestinians face and it is better to see your views out in the open rather than presented only behind the closed doors of our politicians.

Put your case to OLO and see if you can get a grovelling apology for publishing my articles.

Concentrate on criticizing what I write (which you rarely do)rather than continue with your paranoid obsession to try and edit me out of existence. You will sleep easier.

Do you then condemn the actions of Colin Rubenstein and Mark Leibler?

I don't condemn anyone's actions - including your obsessive desire to see me barred from the OLO site. Go for it mate. Oz is a free country.

Everyone is free to speak his mind and then justify his position if criticized. What the Age did and why they did it is none of my concern. Write to Crikey or the Age if you have a problem.

Again you show an interesting trait to ignore the content of my articles and set up some diversionary agenda of your own.

Grow up.

Dear David Singer,

Lol!
