Yea, in Godwin we trust. And verily, he giveth us the law, and that law letteth us not down. Reductio ad Hitlerum!

Good afternoon to you Rainier...
Whilst in the process of attempting to repair my 'shattered heart', I came to the realization that your enormous interlect is essentially lost to all of society. Your inate ability to tease out complex solutions, on matters of macro significants, in such vital areas as law and order, justice and other social issues, is absolutly remarkable. And, I've noticed that some foolish and less erudite contributers to this august forum, have had the temerity to even question your views. And they've mistakingly asserted that, in reality, your're simply a sarcastic, poisonous little (figuratively of course) know all. Who only has the capacity to engage other contributers with bile and invective, instead of producing a valued opinion, yet preserving the dignity and respect for the opinions and views of others.

I quiver at the thought that I should ever fall foul of your formidable perspicacity. Lest I too be challenged to..." see who worked and struggled and who profiteered from unearned privileges (sic)..."! Heavens, I wouldn't dare to try and usurp your position with those great thinkers on high. I certainly don't wish to be banished to a fate of ignominy, in the twilight of my life. So Rainier, I shall adopt the 'prone' position and crawl away to a place of safety.

Cheers...O Sung Wu.

Now look what's happened. The comments have gotten all personal, poisonous and nasty. It's starting to sound like a radio talkback show.

Eloquently spoken, especially for an ex-policeman.

I did want to ask you why 'apropos' do you code switch between quasi lawyerly jargon and Standard English? It doesn’t become you at all.

You might have noticed that I was responding to Arjay's barb, but you're very welcome to join the party. More the merrier.

But please don’t go to the trouble of crawling away to a place of safety. I'm sure the rock you live under is shelter enough. Regards,

Rainer,Alan Jones answers most his emails personally.If you had an an original thought or the intellect to catch his attention,you too might actually learn something.I've received many emails from him over the last few years.He has an enormous intellect and memory to match.

I think that in many ways he is a lonely,tortured individual,full of ambiguities,compassionate,disciplined,generous,hard task master,arrogrant,and seeks power like most of us insecure humans.He ,however makes a difference,and that's what sticks uneasily in Chris Masters' gullet, who yearns Alan Jones' power and status.

Whether or not Alan Jones has put himself into a position of having too much power,can be debated,but he is resonating with a large percentage of the electorate, much to yours and other lefty dinosaurs' chagrin.

Arjay, you say 'I've received many emails from him (AJ) over the last few years'. Explains a lot about your far right tory position here on OLO. Not something you should boast about, though. In a lot of people's opinion, there is more than a faint stench coming from that direction these days.

Yes, AJ makes a difference, but too often to the detriment of NSW and Australia but possibly to the benefit of AJ and a small coterie of his mates.

Since you have avoided saying so, I think it is safe to assume you have not read "Jonestown". If you are so interested in the topic, why not take the obvious step of informing yourself properly, and refrain from comment about it until you have done so? Or do you prefer to shoot from the hip like the man himself?
