Or, in other words Mantra... Nef refuses to acknowledge your right to free speech and will say what ever she can to deny your free speech irrespective of whether you view this as a right you and Nef should enjoy.

Neferti is one of the nastiest people on the net and a troll of the highest order and yes Sappho - he doesn't believe that I should have any free speech whatsoever, although he enjoys his defamatory and insulting free speech regardless of the harm he causes to people and the nasty gossip he spreads. He's better suited to PA where he can denigrate the Ozpolitic members to his heart's content without moderation. In fact I wonder why he even bothers joining political forums. He couldn't make a political post if his life depended on it.

Can't disagree with you there Mantra.... and I speak from experience of having read the Banshee.

I am the one and only Sappho ol' Mantra... I know the history.

How have you been btw... it's been a while.

Impossible to defend.

Continually bringing Arab ethnicity into any argument.
It's just gratuitous racism and wrong.

I know you know the history Sappho. You've seen it all too, including the obscenities and slander. It's nice to see you back from your travels. Hope you had a great time.

Just stopping by Oz for a bit of down time lovely lady. Been having a blast working in India as a cultural awareness manager at a New Delhi Call Centre... It's been great!

Am thinking of bumming around China or Japan teaching English next.

Sounds fantastic Sappho. Australia is going to seem dull in comparison. After being on the move for so long - it would be hard to settle down to a routine now.

I'll be honest Mantra... I returned with my kids after a big fat Indian Wedding... My dear friends youngest son and my son's best friend... and OMG It was like a culture shock... Where are all the people? Why have so much space for cars? I'd forgotten how clean it was here... People are sooooo rude in Oz... Why is that? Epic lol at the bitchin at queues... Aussies have no idea what a real wait in a queue is like. But the big thing I'm struggling with is the lack of freedoms... I feel a bit like I'm not my own person anymore with everyone tell me to do this and that, but when I ask why... no one knows except that 'it's the law' or 'cause you have to' Pfft Pluck that.

Meanwhile, this was my daughters first time in India and she too was in Culture shock... so dirty... so poor... so few rules to protect people from themselves... and she was treated like a princess because her white skin added prestige to the wedding... she found that uncomfortable too.

No more than you have, and that is the problem you are not addressing. It might be right that Mr Crow be called out, but you are the very last person (Moderator or otherwise) to do so without demonstrating the very worst kind of hypocrisy I have ever seen, given your many disgracefully racist posts.

(Of course, everyone will have noticed how you have ignored my other comments.)

I was going to stay out of this, hoping my point could be made without using a sledge hammer. Shame you could not take the obvious hint, Andrei.

Andrei was right to suspend Adelcrow, I would have done the same.

That's good enough for me.
Mozza down the years was a good moderator. If he agrees I tend to find it's the right decision.

In fact I suspend often as a last resort.

As I said I asked a bloke here from Egypt if he found it offensive as an Arab.

He found the comments bringing in camels, telling him he's a reffo who should go home and that he shouldn't be in charge of treasury because he's Arab all offensive.

The comments are made because of heritage and completely unnecessary.
Think - did he make comments on Penny Wong based on her being Asian?
Why not? It would be equally unacceptable.

Calling him "Arab Joe" is not worth suspension. It probably says more about the intellect and manners of the poster using it. However the unpalatable comments on his heritage, camels, reffos etc.
Nope I won't have it.

Goes for everyone.

The Indian people are renowned for their happy dispositions regardless of their impoverished surroundings. What makes them so cheerful when we seem to be the opposite? There are a lot of very rude people around. Perhaps we have too much and take it for granted, although give it another year or so under this government and we'll be competing with third world countries, not only for jobs, but dwindling services too. It is going to become a race to the bottom.

Indian women are generally beautiful and attending a wedding would be an experience within itself. Where does the average family find the money to fund such an extravagance?

I think Adelcrow was just stirring the pot for effect to get his own back on some of the negative comments directed at the left. He is a good contributor generally and it would be a pity to see him banned permanently.

I don't support Andrei on this matter at all. If you had taken the ban action, I'd agree. But Andrei, bitching about racism, and being supported by you blokes is just too obvious clubby trash.

The most precise laser like racist posts made on this Forum are from Andrei. That is the problem with the action apparently taken by Andrei to ban a Member on that ground. Dunno about anyone else, but I'll happily stand against that gross hypocrisy, no matter where it comes from.
