Hard News: Vision and dumbassery, in reply to Russell Brown,
Ok. I'll give it my best shot to rise about the heckling. And I will. Was Fran really that bad?

Kinda funny Danielle....like the flu can be on very rare occasions

rather...."they would give your appearance more credibility than your abuse

Hard News: Vision and dumbassery, in reply to Richard Aston,
are you aware of the clever mens hair colouring products that are available today Richard. They would give your appearance more credibility than your appearance.
Please note. Richard started it and I responded. And that's the usual pattern.

Hard News: Vision and dumbassery, in reply to Ana Simkiss,
Just today, I've been called "an imbecile" "a sock puppet" "a troll bingo" and "creep"
Without any ad hominem provocation but more fiercely defending the integrity of the likes of Fran O'Sullivan who was harshly defamed.
Relax everybody, your team might still win. It's no certainty either way .

Hard News: Vision and dumbassery, in reply to Paul Campbell,
1. It is my real name.
2. I have been polite.
3. I do listen.
4. I won't compromise on my Key-admiration status.
5. I won't turn on proven, highly respectable journalists just because their conclusions don't suit my bias.
6. I won't take name-calling directed at me comfortably.
7. I won't feel as though my opinions are somewhat diminished because I haven't been around long.
8. I did respond positively to Mr. Brown reminding me that it's not about me.
9. I never intend to offend but if putting forward my opinion does, I can't help that.
10. I would prefer being told that I'm not welcome based on having differing viewpoints to the PA status-quo as opposed to being regularly undermined by lowly ad-hominem comments. -
I've set out to contribute respectfully and reasonably and intelligently today which I have. And any quick reference to the last few hours will reveal the fairly substantial amount of abuse I've received in return. And when I snap back on occasion, out come the knives. Do many of you find it nigh on impossible to tolerate input from someone not part of the predominate persuasion?
But don't you think it all a little dull if all that transpired was mass agreement?
On whatever grounds you attack me, it is patently clear it's what I defend, not what or how I say it that really bugs you. Don't be so afraid. Eliminate the risk of this wonderful site becoming just a forum for lemming-like zealots. -
Hard News: Vision and dumbassery, in reply to giovanni tiso,
An Italian Marxist abusing a 4th generation Kiwi? That resonates about as loudly as Kim Schmidt pleading to be take seriously. I might ask Snowden if he can help me check your papers.

It sometimes occurs to me that even asking a strident feminist the time has its risks.
As in expecting twisted retorts like " I suppose you think women should automatically know the time" ...or " why assume a woman should know when you don't." Greer would be proud. -
Oh Danielle. Why assume a gratuitous remark when no offence was intended? I collect photography, mainly black and white, but simply think that shot is clever and dare I say captivating in terms of composition and colour....all conveyed in such a tiny image. But mortal enemies we shall remain!
