Please define do-gooder and explain what is being defended.
pelican,
If you don't know what a do-gooder is then you are one, hence your inability to figure out what is being defended. Good people who help others & care for the future of this nation have no trouble understanding.

Dear individual,

"Good people who help others and care for the future
of this nation."

Wow. Who'd have guessed you're an ALP supporter.

Congrats!

Pelican,

.....hence your inability to work out individual's "do-gooder" gobbledygook.

(Which is a good thing:)

"Good people who help others & care for the future of this nation have no trouble understanding."

So in other words do-gooders. Glad to hear you are one of those.

Yes I suspect some people are hear just to bait. They certainly don't actually read what is on the screen which is evidence in some of the responses.

Haven't been on OLO for a while but I am trying to remember the unspoken rules. Correct me if I am wrong.

If you disagree with the ultra-right wingers you are Marxist, feminist who doesn't care about children and who drinks chardonnay (or is it lattes). Or something like that. It gets a bit confusing.

I think I've sussed out the newer trolls on the block. That is the beauty of free speech you can choose to speak and discuss but you can also choose to disengage with the radicals. Free speech also includes the right to silence.

Poirot,

You remain unrepentant, trying to brazen it out.

I dealt with your irrelevant school example pages back as well you know, see here,

Myself and others have dealt with the use of the word 'ape'. However that is only relevant to the present discussion of the rights and treatment of the child minor insofar as it underlines deliberate misinterpretation of the child's use of the word to set up her victimisation and the use of the child as a patsy for politics.

No way that I will ever be party to warping the rights of a child and stand by without comment where there is such shabby treatment of a child and abuse of her rights, AND those of her nan and her parents.
