OMG - do you honestly think he would say hi to your dog for you or the other names you mentioned, after what you said. Or are you just trying to be another idiot looking for a bit of attention or just trying to be a bit of a Germain Greer wannabe. The hyde that some people have at the moment.

I went to the Australian Zoo Friday evening, and the atmosphere there was not only sombre, but awe-inspiring. It is absolutely amazing how many lives this one person affected from all corners of the globe. The number of tributes is amazing. His children will be proud. If you knew anything about him you would know that he never started out for the tv the tv found him. The zoo is testament to his true love of the creatures of the wild.

I am not attacking you directly just the idiotic blah blah blabber that spilt onto your keyboard. Next time you choose to slander a good name or insult the memory of a good person think about it from the if it were you perspective. How would your family react if they saw words of insult written about you just days after laying your body to rest.

I know that you are an intilligent and well educated Aboriginal man who is politically astute. That is obvious from your posts in many other threads. I also pick up from your posts on other threads that you can come across as extremely bitter and nasty - not unlike Germaine Greer, searching for another 15 minutes of fame - riding on the back of another.

I have a friend who worked for Steve Irwin. He said that Steve was totally honest and dedicated - and that he did indeed engage on a personal level with his 500 staff at Australia Zoo. So, what is wrong with having a charismatic personality, being a dedicated conservationist and being a showman? A good bag of tricks me thinks.

I get the impression that you despise anyone who achieves more than you. For example, sometime back on another thread, you were scathing about my friend Jack Beatson. I can assure that you do not have your facts straight about him either. Jack first came to my home in 1980. I got to know him very well. I went to his wedding and maintained a strong friendship.

Its simple really dakada..these people dont think..period... they use forums such as this to get a little bit of piddling 'recognition' for themselves .These threads and subjects bring out these types they of whom form the lowest common denominator....we should not be at all concerned with a thing they say..for their tiny bitter voices are lost in an ocean of love displayed by the world for this man....

Really the fact that they come out at all is testament to thr greatness of the croc hunter....because all the truly great have their detractors..Elvis etc....its really a compliment.tall poppies and bitter and twisted aussies.

Hey, Steve also had a dam good sense of humour. Its what made him so unique. And guess what, by divine telethapy he just told me my dog was happy but misses chasing the cat next door, Elvis is a snob and Graham Kennedy loves to make fun of God's hair piece - and all the crocs up there can speak and are real friendly - can’t leave him alone cos they love him so much.

Kalweb, You know - I don’t think for a minute that I’m super intelligent and I apologise if thought I was slagging off at old Jack (I was not) but I did comment about your perceptions of him and Aboriginal people. That’s very different from what you say I said.

OK Rainier - agree to disagree.

Even so, you are a very intelligent person who should be listend to - after the sarcasm droppings.

I agree. Of course I have no understanding of Aboriginal culture. But I beg to differ that I do not have some insight - given that I lived in Townsville with a male of Aboriginal heritage and my only visitors were black fellas - for 5 months. That taught me heaps.

Hi there Steve. Next week is gonna be a big show - and not of your making.

Cheers

Of course I wanted to comment, that is why I commented. I can assure you that I have a "life" as you put it. Not want to get into a verbal with you but I thought that a Forum was a place to freely express one's view. I appear to have been mistaken . Farewell Forum
