Title: Ozpolitic no longer relevant. Post by MOTR on Nov 6th, 2015 at 10:35pm
When the greatest political issue of our time is shifted to an obscure board, this site ceases to have relevance.
May as well just read the Telegraph. If you're still posting here and have an ounce of intellect, you're wasting your time. This is not the site it once was. |

You may be right. But you're still posting. Are you just 'wasting your time' or are you reminiscing? Oh, I forgot! On your way out, any clever suggestions for a board that is 'relevant'? ;D |

Sorry, don't remember you.
But then again, can't remember making 6000 plus posts here. |

Very clever. Who appointed you as the arbiter of ignorance as opposed to acuity? And you tread dangerous ground when you differentiate between age groups and intelligence. Then again, you profess to be 'smarter' than the average bear, so one assumes that you have an agenda in mind. If not, apologies are offered in lieu of castigation. Do you have anything to offer except a juvenile reaction to something you'd rather not hear? No discussion, no debate? Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Defend your OP, scheisse! |

OzPolitic will remain relevant as long as politician's flunkeys read it to get a handle on the pulse of the people...

There are some here who, like tony Abbott, rely on quick responses with little or no meaning. Now I'm not going to lump MOTR in that group without proof, but there is a group here now exactly like that. I call it the 'Corporal Syndrome' - the ego-need to have any response to any situation so as to appear to be in control and appear to know what you are doing, even when that response is totally ridiculous and you have no idea. It's a very immature approach to any situation, and can get people killed. Whether or not it applies to MOTR I will await..... on the results. |

So finally we find out what the OP was about. MOTR - who has hardly been here - rolls in to complain about the one in 999 posts on the topic being sent elsewhere.
A bit of an over-reaction I think! |

Climate change is the biggest challenge of our time, the challenge is getting the scientifically illiterate to understand that nothing out of the ordinary has actually happened with the climate. :)

And the thread fairy finally moved it. From what I can tell, the only function that mods perform is to move threads as they see fit and without rhyme or reason.
It explains a lot. |

Let's call a spade a spade and have some courage people. Perceptions Now is the GMod who moved it here from the Politicians Suck section, and he is the GMod who is mostly responsible for a Thread being moved, although FD is also not shy in that regard. There can be rampant abuse going on all over the Forum, and yet you can rely upon PN to ignore all that as though he is completely blind but he will do a bit of furniture re-arranging. Dunno why he bothers with the token effort. Maybe to keep a firm grip on the carpark right beside the Pro Shop. |

In the Democratic candidate's debate, Bernie Sanders was asked to consider the biggest national security threat to the United States. Wisely he didn't choose the Middle East or China, he chose climate change.
What might come as a surprise to many, this is entirely consistent with advice coming from the U.S. military. Quote:

I don't understand why a thread discussing the Australian public's perception of Climate Change is not deemed worthy of being part of the main political game.
The Mechanic obviously started it for political reasons, given the Bureau has just reported October blew away heat records for any month of any year. Is it possible to get an answer from a mod? I don't understand why this issue shouldn't be discussed on a main board, considering it was the issue that brought down Malcolm Turnbull the first time. It will also be the issue that makes or breaks him over the next year or so. |

Not relevant for what?
