Dear o sung wu,

Fully understand and thank you.

I too will admit to perhaps being overly protective of some of the posters here as well as certain groups who are singled out by Hasbeen and others. I also make no apologies for doing so.

Perhaps this is a little difficult for you to understand but there are many good and gentle people out there who the likes of Hasbeen habitually tear strips off and I do feel a sense of obligation to stand up for them.

The reason I picked the terms 'clown', 'fool' and 'idiot' was not accidental. These have been long time go to words for Hasbeen's putdowns and since forgoing reasoned argument as at all useful when exchanging views with him I have taken to firing them straight back. He uses crudity like 'poofters' when discussing same sex couples and thinks nothing of it, but when I tell someone to pull their head out of their arse and he has an attack of the vapours.

The word is snowflake and it fits him like a glove.

This has always been pretty easy. If he tidies up his language and refrains from his collection of putdowns then I'm happy to stop firing them back at him.

However that is unfortunately unlikely to happen so I expect further tears from him and further admonishment from you as the exchanges continue, after all what are mates for.

Philip S,
It's australian blokes like this one who make a mockery out of beautiful young women & the partner Visa. These mutts are budget retirement village fodder & should be concentrating on learning nursery rhymes instead of destroying opportunities for sincere partner visa applicants.

It's the foreign women who are making fools of randy old goats and our pathetic immigration policies.

I blame the immigration policy, bring over mail order bride half there age or in some cases a lot more, what could go wrong.

Maybe a stipulation is they have had to live together for a period of time before they can do the visa.

900 per week somethings wrong.
