Foxy,

I would say that your claim of citing Newscorp "many times" is clearly hyperbole given that I cannot recall an instance and you failed to give an example the last time I challenged you.

Secondly, I don't particularly have an issue with you quoting an article from a well left of center paper such as the Guardian, as there are some genuine articles such as:

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/dec/17/former-union-boss-convicted-of-destroying-tonnes-of-evidence-to-pre-empt-royal-commission

However, when you select an "opinion piece" which is essentially a nonobjective polemic and try and present it as analysis, then...

Paul,

Given the scandal around the molester Jeremy Buckingham, and the kiddie fiddler Karel, you are in a glass house throwing stones.

Toni,

Like the word "gay", the word vomitorium has come to mean something other than its original (Latin) definition, and given your clear understanding of my intent and the malleable nature of the English language, you are both technically correct and incorrect.

"It's a common misconception that 'vomitorium' means 'a place where one goes to regurgitate'. In fact, vomitoriums were exits to large public buildings such as the Colosseum, which 'vomited' people into the streets after the show was over."

Now you've gone and gotten me curious Toni.
- To add to my collection of 'absolutely pointless knowledge and trivia'
Does anyone know what the name of the actual room was called where people did go to vomit?

I heard that way back when...
The nobility class would go to parties and deliberately stuff themselves full of food until they vomited;
and then they would go and eat more and vomit again.

- And all the while, the peasants in the villages starved -

Is the story true? I'm not sure but I think so.
I don't know what it was about, whether it was some power trip where they would feel above the starving peasant class, or just didn't care; or what.

Anyone know?

Shadow Minister,

You appear to be very selective in what you choose
to recall and what you choose to read as well as
cite, while not applying those courtesies to others.
This is a long-standing tactic of yours.
However, it is well worn out and for me
had lost its sheen sometime ago. I shall have to
resist the urge to bother replying to you in the future.

Foxy,

Given that I very seldom ever use the term "recall" and recently have only used it in that I cannot recall you recently citing a conservative publication would mean that it is selective. However, that you are unable to provide any evidence to the contrary would indicate that I was 100% correct.

That I appear to read and cite more widely than you would indicate that you share the same tactics.
