Timkins, will you please stop trying to hijack discussions by repeating everything back at people? It is most annoying. And yes, I'll save you the trouble:

- I am a 'hijacker'
- I am 'maligning'
- I am 'repeating'

hmm? what else? 'annoying' 'discussing' 'everything' 'trouble'. It is getting very old. Ooh dear, and now unsubstantiated accusations of Being Elderly.

Please address people's arguments. Which, yes, I am aware of the irony that I have not done so in this particular comment.

You “hijack discussions”
You are “most annoying”.
You are “a hijacker
You are “maligning”
You are “repeating”
You say “hmm”?
You make “unsubstantiated accusations of Being Elderly”
You do not “address people's arguments” and “have not done so” in your last “comment.”

I have addressed the post from Mahatma Duck (or Morganzola)

You have also made many, many maligning remarks and comments about other posters,(i.e would you like them listed), and they can and will be returned to you. I have previously explained what will be occurring to the forum moderators. (see http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=201#15525)

No, Timkins - you haven't at all addressed my challenge to your unsubstantiated claim that

"... by about 2050, it is estimated that almost all adults in Australia will be living in single person households."

Instead, all we've had is a barrage of puerile ad hominem bluster, which doesn't actually strengthen your position at all. It just looks silly.

Mahatma Duck,
You are a “barrage”
You are “puerile”
You are “ad hominem bluster”,
You don’t “strengthen your position at all”
You are “silly”

Considering the number of posts you have made under the name of “Mahatma Duck”, compared to the number of maligning remarks you have made of other posters, then you would definitely hold the record on OLO, and your maligning remarks can simply be returned to you.

I would have provided more links to information than any other poster in OLO, (and you can go back and count them all). I have provided those links to verify what I have written in posts, and if it was someone other than you, I would probably provide the link to the paper that the information about 2050 came from. But because you have carried out such an extensive amount of name-calling, made so many maligning remarks of other posters, and have rarely answered any questions asked by them, I see no necessity to do anything for you at all.

Take the matter up with the forum moderators.

Another profound and incisive comment!

I have to say that it's pretty hard to communicate with someone who equates disagreement with being personally maligned - or uses a pretence of that position as a way to try and shut down a debate that they no longer control.

Either way, I think we can take it as read that the preposterous assertion that "... by about 2050, it is estimated that almost all adults in Australia will be living in single person households" is unsupported by any real evidence, and that the inflammatory responses thus far from its author are an attempt to conceal its fabrication.

For the record, in another thread I described Timkins once as a "men's right's apologist". When it became clear that he did not like that description, I apologised and have not called him anything except Timkins since.

Best wishes to anybody who's still reading this thread :)

I personally can't wait for Yummy Mummy Barbie.
