Dear Poirot,

Thanks for that.

It's posters such as yourself that keep me coming back
to this forum. Although it's getting harder to want to
continue for obvious reasons. It would be great if this
forum attracted a greater diversity of posters - especially
ones who had mastered the art of reasoned, intelligent
discussion. Which as we know is a skill that's not easily
acquired. Unfortunately, the recent election has drawn out
the worst element in logical discussion. But I guess that
was to be expected.

Foxy,

Thanks...although it's becoming increasingly difficult to stomach the atmosphere around here.

You might like to know - according to Stephen Koukoulas - the govt just borrowed another $800 million, 4 year term, interest rate 3.19%.

Dear Poirot,

No surprises there.

Afterall their Motto is: omnia deducenda...
(Latin for "everything should be deductible").

You have to admit this topic sounds like parliament in session, nasty words at fifty paces.
I find most solutions can be found from rational discussion rather than argument.
Neither side of politics wants to do this of course, neither do many contributors to OLO it would appear.
Fortunately there are some posters that make OLO worth reading as their posts are thoughtful, educational and without denigration of the others viewpoint.
Civil discourse is what it is about though I do think many just like throwing mud about the shop. There is not much fun in trying to see things from the viewpoint of others it would seem, better to just hurl abuse.
We can do better folks.

Of course 'we' can, Shaggy Dog...

"We can do better folks."

But 'they' can't!

You'll find david f started a thread related to this idea some time back: "Can we transcend tribalism?"
