Foxy, do you realise you are showing signs of mental instability.
Why? You continually say you will pay no attention to me, ignore me and my comments, yet even when I respect your wishes and accept your decision by responding to your comments via a 'general' broadcast, you then decide that you will ignore your own decision and decide to step back in the fray.
Now I don't mind, in fact I am quite pleased with your decision to return to the 'coal face', because it shows we have something in common at least; we are not afraid of a fight or confrontation, to drive home a point, or in my case, a truth.
I did address my comments to, not only kindred spirits but as general broadcasts.
Now here's a suggestion, as a friend, if you want to be taken seriously and regain some cred, next time you say you will ignore me and not read my comments, please do just that, It will be disappointing but deep down, I know you will be thinking of me and how I was always right.
One last tiny detail, you see part of says no, but the rest of you says yes, i know you can't keep away.
Want tp know how I know this?
Even though you TRY to distance yourself from me, you can't, because even though you don't want to acknowledge me, that pert of you that does, instructs you to put my name at the top of the respective comment intended for me.
It's OK, I won't tell anyone.
It'll be our little secret.
Till our next conversation.
Ciao.

ALTRAV,

You're absolutely right.

I'm the one with a mental disability.

I'm the one who has been chasing you
over all the discussions in this forum -
criticising you, preaching to you.
Telling you what and how you should post.

There - happy now?

Foxy, ahhhh, yes I am happy now, I can leave OLO knowing I was not alone in the crowd.
There was someone who cared.
I can't get too mushy, last time I had a moment of levity and wrote some 'caring' comments, they were construed as too personal and God knows what else their filthy mind thought, I was reported.
But it was worth it.
You do realise my banter is not personal, don't you.
I attack your opinions, beliefs and agenda.
So carry on, without you to correct, the others on your team are too sensitive and take everything personally, so, no fun.
Bye for now.

I just wanted to correct an earlier opinion I made, where I stated it would be better if they accidentally fell out at 35,000 feet or got bombed.

I wish to retract my statement on this basis:

1. Ends don't justify the means.
- This is a terrorist mentality.

2. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I oppose their return because I don't see why we should pay for their mistakes;
Furthermore our citizens should not be placed at risk for their choices.

AC, we were talking about children, not adults, rightly in Australia we do make children bear the responsibility of mistakes made by adults, in this case their parents. These children, whether you or I like it or not are Australian citizens.

Yes you comment was over the top and I said so at the time, your retraction is better late than never. Thumbs up if it wasn't forced on you.
