The Forum is where this arose, their collective behaviour is beyond the "pale" and I am really wondering what they have to hide. Their response when questioned is to bluster and threaten and I am not one who suffers bullies in silence. They can clear the matter up by answering my simple questions and getting back to "helping the animals". They'd get a lot more respect from me.

BTW, I have no particular political affiliation. I would once have regarded myself as a Labor voter, swinging to Greens, but now, I'm not committed to any party or set of parties. Whoever comes up with the policy is who'll get my vote.

Aticeptic

We certainly are not bullies unless you count hassling the Governments I suppose to improve Animal Welfare.

We would love to hear from you Antispectic on threads discussing what can be done to stop cruelty to our Animals.

Sorry things got heated. I think that was the intention to be honest but we are not caring a drudge.

There is far too much history to go back now and if you look in the car park you will see we are following SPARKYS sensible example by walking away.

We should have done it ages ago in hindsight. Its not fair on OLO or our group either.

Yes we are looking to support the Greens given they are the only party to have a decent attitude toward Animal Welfare.

They support keeping jobs in Australia and banning live Animal exports.

If you are interested there is a informed poster under Tassi live Exports.

This is our last post and we wish everybody well.

PALE: "We certainly are not bullies unless you count hassling the Governments I suppose to improve Animal Welfare."

I beg to differ, given your response to my simple questions.

PALE: "We would love to hear from you Antispectic on threads discussing what can be done to stop cruelty to our Animals.

I may well contribute to such threads in future, which I trust is the subject to which PALE will be confining its contributions.

My intent was not to get "heated". As anyone who knows me will attest, I despise hypocrisy and I have to say that your response to the thread or to the questions raised was not in line with the way you would wish to have your own questions to an organisation answered. It behooves you, as an organisation seeking to change the way in which other organisations operate, to behave with the utmost rectitude if you wish to be taken seriously. to do otherwise invites ridicule and the potential for serious harm to your group. My intent was to demonstrate that to you and I'm glad you bear no grudge for my efforts.

PALE: "There is far too much history to go back now and if you look in the car park you will see we are following SPARKYS sensible example by walking away.

I don't agree. i think that it has been very beneficial to your group and I don't believe there is any way that it damages OLO. Good luck with your animal efforts. Keep the mongrels muzzled and they won't get kicked.
