Dear sonofgloin,

I note you have offered no retraction of your claim “Middle Easterners are just above 2% of the population but they are over 20% of the internees in our prison system.” even though it has been shown to be demonstrably false.

You sir are indeed a fast learner. It seems you have chosen your path and the others will fulsomely welcome you into their ranks. Never apologise and never retract is their mantra and never letting a fact get in the way of a good demonising is their creed. Enjoy your new friends.

Thank you for being accommodating.

However if you do get tired of them and felt homesick for reasoned and logical positions on issues such as this we would welcome you back.

Dear runner,

Thanks for proving my point.

What I'm talking about is what's coming out of
your mouth every time you post. What we don't
need right now is a vicious public discourse
of condemnation and attack. We don't need
to unleash a nasty, antisocial and destructive
power that has real consequences for the
cohesion of our society.

I see facts that destroy your bias is nasty and divisive. Nothing unfactual about 1000 deaths as a result of 'compassionate'laws. Seems to me your years of vindicativeness towards Abbott has failed (along with Gillard).

Dear runner,

My years of vindictiveness towards Mr Abbott?
What, by simply criticising his dog-whistling,
inane slogans, lack of policies, bare-knuckle
politics, and determination to be PM and do
whatever it takes (short of selling his ar*se).

We can all be hard old chap. As long as we do
it - reasonably.

But you don't get that.

cont'd ...

BTW: one-liners don't count as facts.

Dear Lexi

thanks for proving my point.
