Hello Pelican. Best regards.
I’ve been told and discovered myself that your output has been prodigious.
My thanks. I note that I have your leave to play with the push.
I’m sort of replying to yours.
Suggest you read what I’ve already submitted.
If you have trouble gleaning the meaning – Tafe might help you all out.

This topic is great,
No finer example of the fact that the word, once written, cannot be withdrawn.
I chose an example in order to illustrate my point in my last.

I rely on the record – a quote from OUGs file.
In my view it exposes something of his soul that I find disturbing.
Strikes me that Morgan JC might have him in his pub for entertainment value.
Someone else said I need to apologise.
Then castigating was I?
Don’t believe so.
More wondering why, when I research these pages, I see what strikes me as a fair effort to push people to the sidelines in any manner that is most expeditious.
I’m not referring to my poor efforts – I mean throughout the entire show.

When I research that I see much of virtue subsumed to utter dross.
Put another way, we of this family can’t work out why Australians have become so tiny minded.
Now when I zip this off I’ll take a look at how important Morgan CJ finds himself!

Oh Non Farmer I think I have it. I was trying to work out why someone would be so rude to others and incredibly antagonistic.

Before going on any site I park up and read stuff, old stuff, and current messages. Get a bit of a feel for the place before brave enough to launch on in.

Did me no good here, I had to come in just to get people to explain to me what they were talking about.

I thought they’d laugh and I’d cringe and never come back but they were, on the whole, extremely helpful and welcoming.

But you did the other thing, came in all bluster and bulls#it. In the back of your mind you are busy trying to convince yourself we aren’t quite real and if real we are being paid to be mean to you.

Ease up on yourself. And if you are mean back to me know that I will cry myself to sleep.

PS… Read some more old threads today. I found the best quote:

“But you'll achieve something by understanding their
culture and then using that very thing in a discreet
way to bring about change. People skills matter in
this world.

Actually, I am interested in finding out why you are actually here ANF. Your current behaviour doesn't appear to match your stated original purpose.

What exactly do you think you are achieving?

This is not a rhetorical inquiry.

GDay Jewely,

I have come to the same understanding. I mused over a reply to the question of FoS and became confused with the banter on forum, then I could not determine whether FoS was being discussed in relation to the Australian legal stance on FoS or FoS in the forum?

After carefully writing an SA to demonstrate my understanding and position on FoS, it was easier to decide to fall asleep and to wake with renewed strength to wit, I would ask this....is there a difference between the use of the 'soap box' and Freedom of Speech?

Your assistance in these matters would be appreciated

I presume that the 'Soap Box' allows for anything to be said without restriction and FoS being a state of monitored Speech where limits may abound to confine the extent of free speech such as the freedom of information act and the privacy act where a breach of the later 2 conditions of law may come into effect?

Hey One Nation,

“Your assistance in these matters would be appreciated.”

Well there’s a first so I’ll leap straight to paranoid and decide you are making fun of me.

But I don’t see how you can even talk about the subject FoS while in a forum where there are rules, message length, and inability to use certain expletives and a restriction of posts.

I read an old thread where someone was banned for 7 days for “flaming”. This flaming (which to my disappointment was deleted) may have upset someone else so I am guessing someone’s freedom of speech was tethered because of someone else’s freedom of being happy.

Now help me…

“I presume that the 'Soap Box' allows for anything to be said without restriction and FoS being a state of monitored Speech where limits may abound to confine the extent of free speech such as the freedom of information act and the privacy act where a breach of the later 2 conditions of law may come into effect?”

Did that mean before one says anything they should invoke the FoS or state they are merely on a SB without the FoS privileges (if any)?

I doubt whether ever in life I have ever seen such a sorry sack of idiots behave so stupidly before (well, except maybe for Foxy who came half good at the end).
Go for it.
You've ably demonstrated your beliefs.
Cruise through life knocking your collective selves unconscious on door ends.
May every one of your headaches be awesome ones.
