Dear LEGO,

I stopped reading your posts ages ago.

Dear runner,

The only thing that I can think of in response
to your "drive-by" comments on any issue is:

"Ah runner, our forum's self-proclaimed Christian...
If only you would really follow the teachings of Christ.
His ordinance of total love, and belief in forgiveness,
even of an enemy. You would then shed fathomless light
on this forum.

Sadly you are not that kind of a Christian believer."

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not trying to get ya eh Jonathon?

Foxy

'Sadly you are not that kind of a Christian believer."'

thankfully your judgement proves consistently wrong Foxy.

I notice in todays Courier Mail, two of the writers must have been reading our posts LEGGO & OTB.

Foxy: "Ah runner, our forum's self-proclaimed Christian... If only you would really follow the teachings of Christ. His ordinance of total love, and belief in forgiveness, even of an enemy.

All very well, Foxy, but do they reciprocate. I don't think so. They just think it a good because good Christians will turn the other cheek just to be smite again & again & again. They are just having fun with us at our expense.

Shalmaneser, you imply that I may be paranoid given my views of the ABC.

Sorry, but you got that one wrong.

“Paranoia” can be defined as:

“An unfounded or exaggerated distrust of others, sometimes reaching delusional proportions”.

There is nothing “unfounded”, “exaggerated” or “delusional” about an objective observation of the editorial output of the ABC that reveals (once again) a bias against mainstream values.

That said, I have no issue with extreme views being aired in public, be they of the hard left (such as the ABC) or the hard right.

Like many, I just consider it outrageous that my tax dollars are used to pay for them.

Let such views succeed or fail in the marketplace for ideas on their own dime.

Wouldn’t the funds that currently go to the ABC do more good to society if they were applied to say, reducing homelessness?

I've been watching this thread with interest and biting my tongue.

I've made a resolution to stop responding to Foxy or Poirot. It's less painful to just bang my head against the wall instead.
