Dear Poirot,

I couldn't agree with you more. My days here are
definitely numbered. The haters are taking over this
forum and that's a shame because they're getting worse.
And I can't begin to imagine what people from overseas
must be thinking about some of the comments posted.

I've also been advised that this forum is having a bad
effect on my health. I get so distressed by the ugliness
of much of what I read lately. And who needs that in their
lives?

Agreed Poirot. I have had enough now too. But I am not sure where to go next. I didn't take to Twitter as well as I thought I would.

People like runner on this site resort to having a personal attack against my profession in order to feel big about themselves and their disgusting views.

Runner, for your ignorant information, there are barely any nurses in residential care facilities now, because the Govt doesn't want to pay wages for professional care of our elderly. While I acknowledge there are good and bad nurses amongst us, the person in question at present is a carer....he is NOT a nurse of any sort.

At least the kids in these sorts of facilities have more of a chance at life than the poor kids abused by religious clergy in church-run institutions in the recent past. The latest allegations against the Angican church clergy in NSW at present are particularly sickening. Their victims end up with a lifetime of mental health sicknesses, alcoholism and relationship difficulties, to name just a few of their problems.

I wish that we could simply give
To this beautiful country (and planet) on which we live
But unless the hatred drops and falls
We may not have a country (and planet) at all.

(apologies to Ogden Nash).

Comrade Poirot,

You would, of course, blame others for your dummy spit, but the plain fact is that you lefties can give it, but you can't take it. Your theories are so threadbare. Even on a thread which has nothing to do with race (was it even mentioned; did I miss something?) you are blathering on about 'right wing racists'. You are obsessed with race.

The biggest irritants for me are people like you and other left wing idealogues who simply cannot accept that your constant sneering at, and berating of, people who don't see things your way is not going to convert them to your way of thinking. You are not a messiah with a message. You are just another poster with opinions, just like me and everyone else. If you think you can break down other peoples' opinions by calling them names, you are naive. If you think you can change the minds of mature adults who have the ability to think for themselves, you are out of your tree. If you want people to be all the same, go to North Korea where they don't get a choice.

Your dummy spit, and those others of your kind who can't cope with different opinions are wasting your time 'threatening' to leave. You wouldn't be missed any more than the rest of us would be if we didn't have what it takes say what we think, and stand by it. You really should get over yourself.

Foxy & Suzie,
If you are leaving because you don't like comments like
mine about the Islamic problem then I think your attitude is too
intolerant for the problems we are facing.
You can adopt the politician/ABC/Media attitude to the various problems
that are coming over the horizon and pretend that all is well,
nothing to see here nudge nudge wink wink all is well, so best that
you leave the worrying to those of us that are looking at reality.

You perhaps should leave if it is just too much for you as you will be
in good company with all those politicians.

Sorry Poirot I meant to add your name also to that last post.
If you are all leaving goodbye been nice exchanging barbs with you all.
Best wishes.
