Dear Is Mise,

It was a pretty straightfoward question.

Is Mise,

What do you consider "utter drivel" of what I cited?
And why? And if you think so little of the information
that I try to provide - why do you even bother to engage
with me at all?

Is Mise,

Her Ladyship has asked you a question: "why do you even bother to engage with me at all?"

That's a hard one for anyone. I can't think of any good reason why anyone would want to do it - apart from taking the Micky.

Foxy,,
“ tells us that "the women were portrayed
as the victims of their brutish Aboriginal husbands who
forced them into lives of drudgery. This enabled settlers
to view colonisation as an exercise in civalry rather being
complicit in an invasion. They were bringing the benefits of
civilisation to an inferior race."
That’s drivel.

Why do I engage with you?
To see just how silly your posts will get.
Example: You recently posted that you were deeply offended by me and that you’d not engage with me again, yet here you are..
What’s wrong?
Mind going?
Memory loss?

Good answer, Is Mise.

Foxy should really be called Fishy. She rises to the bait every time. Good sport on a quiet day. What sort of fish? Big Mouth Bass comes to mind.

Is Mise,

What you brush aside as "drivel," is not something that
I made up. The quote comes from Professor Sarah Maddison,
Director of the Australian Centre at the University of
Melbourne who is the leading expert on Indigenous-Settler
Relations in Australia and the world. You can read her profile
here:

She's written many books on the issues involved, including the
one I cited - "The Colonial Fantasy: Why White Australia
Can't Solve Black Problems." I gave the quote to balance things
out to what you were presenting. Which in a discussion is
usually acceptable.

You've called me derogatory names, insulted me, and yet even
though I have tried to ignore you - you keep asking me questions
and expect a reply - when I finally do reply - you again insult
me. I think that says more about you than it does about me.
In any case - I shall try to cease to amuse you. You've found
a delightful friend in ttbn. You're well-matched. May you both
continue to enjoy inter-acting with each other. May your days
together be as pleasant as you both are. Yay!
