Nor do I understand how you can say to me: "You always have the choice of turning off the ABC and continue to get off over the rantings of commercial media or whatever else aligns with your personal prejudices and hatreds (of which you seem to have in abundance), when:

I have turned off the ABC. Surely I've made that clear.
I don't "get off" on what you call "rantings".
I have "personal prejudices", so do you, very obviously. Preferences is a better word.
I don't hate. Perhaps you just feel hated by people you disagree with?

Hi rache,

There's a psychological term for consistently blaming others.
It's a defence mechanism in which the ego defends
itself against unconscious mechanisms or qualities
(both positive and negative) by denying their
existence in themselves and attributing them to others.

People's posting records speak for themselves and we have
our resident posters who will always blame others for
their own actions. It's never their fault - but yours,
which is typical of how bullies behave.

One of the amusing things for me that has been brought out by OLO over the past couple of decades or so is the firm conviction by some posters that other people have 'prejudices' while they, the accusers, just have opinions. And those pontificating about the 'bad' behaviour of others are really writing their own mini autobiographies.

All one has to do is compare the posting records.
They speak for themselves and say more about those
posting than anything else.

If the ABC disappeared no one would be worse off.

shadow minister,

Democracy would be poorer.
