P,

Sorry wrong P, I meant Paul1405. I apologize for the typo.

I know it is thin ice I stand on.
And too that SM is waiting for my fall.
Too that once we know the date the true dirty politics will begin.
But at the risk of being forced one day to eat these words.
I think Tony Abbott has already lost his job.
As PM or leader of the opposition he has had bad advice, he should turn on his advisers, one may come from my camp.
What worked against Gillard has zero chance against Rudd.
Feeble, trying to say Rudd is a con artist while Abbott is around.

Tut, tut, SM I call it as I see it, I called you a bigoted raciest for this comment;
"After yet another 13 people killed by Rudd's boat policy, (cheered on by those in the lunatic asylum called the green party)"
I took your comment as The Greens were cheering 13 people killed, which includes me. You are a typical conservative, believing you are born to rule and have a monopoly on what is right and wrong. Conservatives have no qualms about supporting such things as wars etc that see millions of innocent people die, but heaven forbid if you call them on it and insult them. As I said tut tut.
If you want to avoid insults I suggest a move to the forum "Flower Arranging for Beginner" or some such benign little group.

Actually Paul,

The forum rules specifically rules out the boorish name calling that you practice, and if you were reported, you would be banned. So if you wish to move to the flower arranging blog with the pompous effetes from the greens then feel free to continue.

I would also suggest you consult a dictionary and read the definition of bigot and racist. Calling out the greens for being complicit in the deaths of thousands is not being a bigot unless you consider the greens a threatened minority group, and I have never said anything racist.

This forum is not for delicate flowers who can't take a criticism without childish name calling.

Point taken, SM...regarding prior post.

I'll just add that contributors up and down this forum sometimes resort to name calling - some more often than others.

One poster around here delights in just about every third post in calling his opponents "morons".

I haven't noted you pulling him up for that behaviour - but then again, he's more likely to support your side of the argument.

P,

Obviously not being a forum policeman I react more to those that abuse me than others. But I don't condone abuse and have occasionally reported cases of abuse from both sides.

As far as insults, name calling is generally ineffective. It is far more satisfying to puncture someone's prejudices, especially painful is the unpalatable truth.
