Foxy “You consistantly see things only
from your own point of view.”

Said the pot to the kettle,

“Let's not imply Obama's track record is insignificant.”

Let’s not imply Sarah Palins track record is insignificant.

“Hillary Clinton”

Hilary Clinton, who spat the dummy on going second the democrats nomination ticket?

“"Ego, is God's gift to little men.”

It would appear to have some relevance for “little women” too

Re “That's low.”
almost as low as suggesting to someone

“You don't seem capable of presenting a "balanced"
and an educated point of view for a Forum such as this one.”

“I am realistic enough to realize that getting any
sympathy . . . should be a "dunny
surrounded by razor wire,"”

I said then and repeat now

“I am sure we can all find irony in that and no nasty "history" at all.”

And what has “sympathy” got to do with anything?

“I’m beginning to understand why you continually transfer
you aggressions onto others, when they merely respond
to your statements.”

Being told I lack the correct “view for a Forum such as this one”

Goes well beyond “respond to statements”

Recalling your “I will simply state that Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton -
are both qualified to be President and Sarah Palin is not.”

You then attack my right to post, despite my summary (word limited) history of presidential activity, says a hell of a lot about your “education” and “balance”.

If anyone is experiencing “aggressions” it is you.

And regarding freedom of speech, when anyone questions another persons (mine or someone else’s) right to express their personal view, I will treat them and their hubris with the contempt it deserves.

Finally “Ego, is God's gift to little men.”

Is attributed to president Harry Truman (democrat) not our dearest Margaret.

Truman also said “A leader in the Democratic Party is a boss, in the Republican Party he is a leader.”

I think we all, including USA, deserve “leadership”, not “bossiness”.

Although, your attitude might indicate otherwise.

Dear Col,

I have to admit when I've been rightly
chastised.

I bow to your superior intellect and arguments Sir.

You are not the neanderthal that I thought
you to be.

On the contrary. You are a man of wit and character.

You're absolutely correct in pointing out
that this entire misunderstanding was my fault.

I have learned my lesson.

From now on I will not dare to enter into
any further discussions with someone of your
calibre.

Foxy, the sarcasm becomes you but

I have always considered you, along with everyone else, free to post or decline from posting as you see fit.

It remains a sad reflection on you that you seem incapable of reciprocating that basic value.

In which case, your decision to withdraw from comment is probably the best and most creative thing you could possibly do.

Doubtless, Sarah Palin holds to a higher standard than where you have set your personal "bar", lets face it, she has achieved more in a "tested" position than you or your preferred nominee.

Dear Foxy

You have presented all your posts with balance, reason and a courtesy way beyond any that Col extends to you.

Just consider this:

If Palin was a Democratic, you can well imagine the vitriol that would drip from Col's poison pen. He does not argue from any honest ideology; he argues to demoralise. Col is incapable of extending respect to others, even though he demands it for himself. Remember he takes any difference of opinion as a personal slight and therefore, feels justified in a self-indulgent rant against anyone - even people as inoffensive and considerate as yourself.

Col, just so you know - I am casting personal aspersions on your character and I am completely justified.

I've always found that a reliable indicator of someone's character is the company they keep. Col Rouge and Porkycrap have apparently sought each out in real life, after initially 'meeting' here at OLO.

Need I say more?

You and your mates are like little barking dogs, safe at home behind your computer. Its so pathetic. Calling names, is that really the best you can do CJ? I would expect this type of behaviour from pubescent girls. What kind of man are you? Same goes for Rainier and Dickie.

Seriously, have you actually contributed to a discussion lately that wasn't PURELY flaming? Continually whining and sniping is not a good look for a bloke.

Why don't you grow up?
