Dear Belly,

I'm not sure what you want from me since you seemed to have your mind fairly solidly made up already.

That being said I do note that you seem to be writing notably more measured posts of late in other threads, some of which I have found pretty darn good. Not saying I agree with them all of course, yet the regular OLO posters change through their interaction here, I certainly think I have.

However I am pretty reluctant to be addressing past threads with you, especially one that you have now mentioned twice, since it obviously has bothered you.

But you have just posted in a decidedly reasonable manner so I tentatively offer this reflection to perhaps lance the boil a little.

Whatever your take was from that thread mine was that I was primarily defending Judge Jefferies and our legal system from attacks such as "our system is infected with unrepresentative fools on the bench.", "And that we are badly served by those sitting in judgment. Just maybe they come from another planet.", "unfit for office", "The Law is indeed blind/deaf/dumb/ and stupid!"

I quite clearly showed via the lady's statement that she never claimed the officer had touched her, yet you chose to ignore that truth. In examining why that might be the case I put to you that you were possibly pursuing another agenda especially when you called for the banning of all Muslim migration.

So when you write; "Never fear the truth, but be watchful always of those who have less regard for it." I felt that was exactly what I was doing on that occasion.

What of this thread? My example of drunken yobs passed out among the headstones is no more an illustration of Australian culture than FGM is of the culture of our immigrants. Think of it as an ambit claim against belligerent bosses. Hopefully with some reasonable discussion meeting in the middle is possible, granted not always though.

csteele while I live I grow, hopefully.
I try to forget some early posts, and am pleased you see improvement.
I do so in your posts too.
Here is me, uncovered, I actually think any form of PC is evil, truly.
I am aware, always have been of the power in words.
That power deceives too, to get certain out comes.
We here could degenerate in to my dad is tougher than your dad.
You throw drunks at ANZAC cove at me, I reply with uneducated products of unwed parents kicking war grave headstones over on camera and bragging about it.
Counter productive, unrepresentative, no understanding on both sides of basic respect.
I think csteele, those anti western Muslims, not all, maybe not most, infiltrate by the pen, challenge our values and culture.
Without that, this country the west, may well see migration as nonthreatening as it was once.
csteele,I believe in no God,am I able then, truly,to say no God or his/her followers should in his/her name,try to change my culture?
As you see/saw a side of me that offended you,I too see/saw that in you.
I think we can talk,even agree sometimes, but the basic thing is I will never agree racism is a western/Australian thing.
I will never concede ever Cronulla was one sided, never forget the insulting behavior that went on for years before that day.
I find it no harder to find wrong on both sides than your history shows you find it to blame wasps.
I knew those Granville streets Aurban too, in days I had no reason to fear them.
