Lexi,

Don't waste your breath on runner.

I'm still waiting for him to demonstrate a skerrick or two of true Christian spirit and good will.

"Vindicativeness" is your specialty runner. You rarely make a post without rhetorically pushing a pie in someone's face, while hurling any vice at hand in their direction for good measure.

Why am I not surprised that you wield the "deaths at sea" proposition as a weapon to wallop Lexi. It's always the last refuge for the "Fortress Australia" mob. Scott Morrison would be proud of you.

Csteele>> 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.<<

Well many thanks Cs, god I thought I was on the outer for a second.

You ask why I don’t throw my hands up to this error in info transfer, perhaps it is the gracious manner that the old gang addressed my previous “hands up” stance…..I aint going back to that.

I posted a link so there was no factual malice or decit, I simply misread the paragraph…just to remind ourselves:
"BOCSAR director Don Weatherburn says it proved impossible to compile comprehensive figures because the arresting police often didn't ask the question and many detainees refused to answer it. However, data collected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that Lebanese make up the fifth largest ethnic group in Australian prisons….”

Cs, I actually picked up on the mistake just after posting, but decided to keep my mouth shut and wait it out, Wm got it first, followed briskly by Poirot and sadly you are a distant third…lol just kidding.

Cs, do you recall I said this to you:
“Thank you doctor, I will take a Bex and have a good lie down and see if the first news report I hear tomorrow has a shooting in a Middle Eastern enclave, or whether the assailants are describes as “of Middle Eastern appearance.”<

There were two on the morning news the next day….nothing this morning though.

Runner>> r u referring to, r u referring to, r u referring to...

I don't know, but as an impartial observer ladies, I think the ru's have it.

runner,

FU
are going to post in contractions can we have some warning...

otherwise we will think you are attempting the 'RUBC FUNEX' sketch from The Two Ronnies.

Dear Poirot,

Thanks for the good advice about runner.
I'll take it on board.

Dear SOG,

Obviously, thinking isn't your strong suit.

Dear Wm.,

'Why am I not surprised that you wield the "deaths at sea" proposition as a weapon to wallop Lexi'
