And I am getting off Scott free.
My from the heart comments about the greens equaled in my view SM s.
Hard however not to insult some things by just telling the truth.
See? even that last line looks like satire but honestly is not.
Very proud Kev and she who must be obeyed went in to danger to thank our true heroes.

Dear Belly,

You wrote: "My from the heart comments about the greens equaled in my view SM s."

Both you and SM agree that there should be no alternative to tweedledum and tweedledee. Nothing new there.

I think all of us on olo whatever our viewpoint make comments from the heart. However, if two people with opposing views both speak from the heart one of them is still wrong. Sincerity is no guarantee of being right. In fact I think that implicitly both major parties share the same philosophy in the words of the great W. C. Fields, "Never give a sucker an even break."

Belly, you often refer to me as the "Naked Morris Dancer" I once went to a British Folk Festival and what did I see, Morris Dancers (wearing white outfits, like dresses but they were men with sticks), and if I was to do their strange form of dancing naked then it truly would be insulting, not to me, but to them. None of the following are yours, The Little Green Pixie, I don't think that was you or Watermelon or shock horror Communist, or the one I really didn't like was Starlin Lover, why because I though Uncle Joe was ugly.
SM I will apologise for the comment "bigoted raciest" as it offended you. I do not feel I am a "lunatic" nor do I feel I am in a "lunatic asylum" because I am a member of The Greens Party, but since I didn't find those comments insulting, I do not require an apology.

If you blokes can't keep personalities out of the debate I think someone should complain and you all can keep out. You know some of us would like to hear the issues without abuse and intimidation.
Thank you

Chris there is no "war" here. Belly knows I always find his Naked Morris Dancer description a real hoot, it was funny when I first read it, and its still funny, its not insulting. SM's comments are par for the course and not insulting to me. I find it hard to be insulted by anonymous posts by anonymous people, persons, computers or who ever or what ever post this stuff. As Kermit said "its not easy being Green." or Blue or Red or whatever ones political persuasion is. Its even more difficult if you post it for all the world to read.
Peace.

Chrisgaff1.000 take the coppers suit off!
How is it that truly sick comments come from red necks here and no one complains?
Paul and Davidf if my comments are rude tell me but let the one moderator rule not every one.
How can any single person who is against the greens, in all honesty *at least 8.7 percent of the population* of this country not insult by just telling a truth!
Paul and I are at one level mates we niggle each other.
Davidf is a gentle man.
He holds views I can never share.
But I hold him a man in his 80s I think, in high regard.
First time ChrisGaff 1000 and I ever clashed but why old mate not just skip over my contributions?
Raw pain and fear from conservatives seeing some strange thoughts here.
Paul care to comment on my view your 12 percent of the votes has given your party far too much power over folk who are repelled by
them?
NO! we can not gloss over the truth, a party disliked right past that to hated, all the range of dislike, is or was controlling our federal government, Paul your history was fighting against such injustice.
Morris dancers look silly, to me, my remembering fools seen dancing naked under a full moon saw me put the two together.
