Is Mise,

What I accept is that we have acts in our society
that contravene our laws. Acts that are too
disruptive to be permitted and ones that are
difficult ot control through informal sanctions
alone.

By formally declaring certain acts to be crimes, political
authorities can ensure that the social reaction to
them takes place in an orderly and predictable manner.
Therefore the law defines the exact nature of the
offense, indicates who is prohibited from performing it,
and specifies the formal, negative sanction that may be
applied to the offender.

We live by the rule of law in our society. Even police
violence or police brutality is legally defined as a
civil rights violation where officers exercise undue or
excessive force against a civilian. This includes, but
is not limited to physical or verbal harrassment, physical or
mental injury, property damage, or death.

Even police officers are required to comply with the
existing laws.

I've already explained all this in my post to Nathan.
And your repeatedly asking me the same question is not going
to give you the answer you want.

"I don't personally respond to attacks as a rule."

Read: always respond. Can't resist.

"I won't tolerate lies and misinformation". Makes her own mind up about what is a lie and what is misinformation via sheer dogmatism. She can't block out what others say, so she has to tolerate it anyway.

Always responding to trolls. Her definition of a troll is anyone who stands up to her.

She thinks she is able to judge "extremes".

Not for the first time she is slyly threatening to report "abusive behaviour" which must constitute simple disagreement with her ladyship, because no abusive behaviour is occurring, unless it's her calling me " ... erratic, unprincipled, unstable, and definitely have a personality disorder.You are obsessive, and show no judgemnent(sic), wisdom,or prudence. You display unhealthy patterns of
thinking, functioning, and behaving …..".

What we are seeing here is someone in an almighty huff.

As for a lawyer friend who "advised legal action", sheer fantasy! Does she know how much lawyers charge - if you could get even one to bother with such a girly snit? Could have my daughter send her a schedule of fees - all free to me of course.

I'll give everyone who is not Paul or SteeleReduxe some free advice that I intend to take myself. Stay away from Foxy. Something is not quite right there. Anyone who can't take part in a relatively amiable site like OLO without carrying on the way she does is bad news. I know it's hard to ignore the arrogance and the ignorance, and the know all personality, but I'm going to have to do it before Graham has to step in. I like OLO too much to have it spoilt by this person

ttbn,

We have a history. I have genuinely tried to
extend the olive branch to you in the past.
It did not work. I shall match my posting record
with yours any day. You have hounded me from day
one. You have attacked me and others (Belly has left)
regularly with your labeling and mockery and name
calling and when I react it's always my fault.

Even newcomers like Chris Lewis call you a bully.
Which is what you are and this last post to me
just proves it.

You have made fun of my health issues - I have a problem
with mobility. I now walk with a walker. After a great
deal of surgery - I am still in constant pain.
But hey - I manage and am certainly not looking for
sympathy - merely not to be labelled and tarred with a
brush I don't deserve.

OLO is important to me - but even when I left OLO
for a while - you Sir could not resist referring to me
as the "thankfully departed." Shame on you.

So please don't preach now. You're getting what you
justly deserve and have earned.

And BTW - - get used to
the fact that I'm not about to go any time soon.
I find your postings despicable - but I'll learn to
ignore them if you shall leave me alone.

Foxy,

I'm trying my hardest to understand you. you say that you support what our soldiers did to defend the country and that the police do a good job, but both use violence; unless you don't consider something as violent when it is done by our side.

Australian troops in New Guinea shot Japanese soldiers with "Tommy" guns, rifles, machine guns; they threw grenades at them, pounded them with high explosive artillery shells, mortar bombs and killed them in close combat with the bayonet, it is a stabbing weapon usually.
They also used the sharpened front edge of the brim of their helmets as a weapon, giving a new meaning to the term "Liverpool Kiss".

Was this not justified violence, violence that was OK?

Poor you. Fancy, mobility issues getting you all het up and unable to use a computer and needing a break from OLO. The use of a computer would be the easiest thing for someone on a walker - if you aren't clinging to it while typing. They even have a little seat on them.

"You're getting what you
justly deserve and have earned".

What is it that I am "getting"? I feel no different from the way I've always felt. I know you are the queen of make believe and exaggeration, but I don't believe that you are capable of giving me anything that you think I deserve. What should I watch out for? Spots? Hair loss? Ants in the jam?

I hope you are able to stop taking yourself so seriously one day.

No Issy, I didn't do as you would "Move on to the next service station." Nor am the coward ttbn is and as he would do sh!t his pants. What I said was "Is it really worth getting so upset about, over a bit of air? Wont do much hitting an old bloke"..."Something is troubling you mate, what's happened to you, do you want to tell me?" ( bit of a risk) With that he calmed down and said; "I had a blue with the girlfriend last night, and she's got the sh!ts big time" ...we spoke for a couple of minutes about his problem, not mine, never mentioned the air again. Gave him a pathway to a solution, text her, tell her you love her, and ask if you can meet up over a coffee and sort things out..you'll be okay. He actually apologised, he wasn't a complete drop kick, just troubled. I had jotted his rego number into my phone beforehand just in case. Being a pacifist doesn't mean you should not stand up in some situations. My wife reckons some day I'll bite off more than I can chew. BTW, he moved his car. With a thanks from me, and a cheers mate from him, I put air in the tyres.

A few years back the wife and I were walking home from the local RSL Club, through the shopping centre about midnight. In front of us were two young blokes, in their 20's, and in from of them a young girl walk on her own, no one else about. One of the two is carrying on with disgusting remarks towards the girl. She's not saying much except "leave me alone", she didn't know them.

What would you have done Issy? I confronted the mouthy one, and I had no fear of him, although I was 60 and he was about 20, normally he would be able to lay me out like a cold mullet. Why do you think I had no fear? BTW; I didn't have an M16, and it wasn't God's on my side stuff
