I'd report it to Bobby and he would "hang them high"

point taken, but a bit of interweb banter counts for nought.  its just a bit of harmless fun and games

what I meant was it makes me do or say things I wouldnt normally do.....I believe we all have good and bad in us.. its up to each one of us to decide which side we will nurture

I think if you look at the behavior of members here alone.. you will see which side of their personality they have cultivated.... .. all some do is abuse..they have nothing else to offer....well I find some can push buttons that make me want to respond in a way I wouldnt normally do...maybe they are trying to get me banned...its worth a thought.. but I dont like it when people change who I am......irritated would have been a better word maybe..

its un australian to be a dobber.

even Cindy Brady was chastised in the Brady Bunch for being a Tattle Tale.

i would never report anyone, ever, period.



very noble of you of course and like freedom of speech it is your right....

however people like myself believe in supporting those who we feel are being bullied....bullies are people who will stoop to any level to win what they consider is their right.. but its not someone elses... 

if I stooped to others level and just posted abuse/name calling...what do you think that would resolve???..

tit for tat never did do it for me... all it does is make me angrier.. and thats not what I come on here for.

as pansi has pointed out someone feels its important to report me for suggesting someone spends time in the m.s......better not mention it again... 

yet you think its ok for someone to call others spastic/old crone/ intellectual cripple.. amongst other things...at least no comment..... which basically says the same thing.. 



no one can make someone angry. that is something we do to ourselves and an issue we have to work on ourselves.
if someone makes you angry, look at it as a growing and learning experience.
i'm sure master light agrees.
(he does seem quite angry about freemasons though)

Oh , I get it Cods,
the way you think is the way most people think.

"don't push my buttons"

and of course, there are plenty of button pushers .
now some call them "trolls" which really means they have recognised you have a button and so they push it.
I suppose an easier way to look at it is
"they are baiting me"

But once you make the decision (and it is a decision) not to allow others to "define your behaviour", you will move to a place of better mental health and better equilibrium.

This is where the interweb can serve a useful purpose.
by exposing yourself to people who are trying to "bait " you and not taking the "bait", you get a great opportunity for growth and building a better sense of who YOU, CODS are.

this is great for your mental health and self esteem.

You now have the upper hand and when others cant touch you, you truly will have arrived.

try it and see.

all the trolling I do on here (and I admit I do a bit) is done to hopefully cause a bit of humour and to get people to look at themselves.

but that's part of my Buddhist philosophy.
Hold nothing with white knuckle fervour Cods,
hold everything gently , especially your opinions.

And a political forum is a great place to practice.
in a way, master light is quite a good teacher (though he/she is quite mad)

wishing you all the best

Cods, if i had someone banned for evey time i've been called dumb, stupid, ignorant, m.o.r.o.n, bogan, box tosser, red neck, hill billy, toilet cleaner or westie, there would hardly be anyone left on OP. This is why attacking free speech is impossible. These labels all mean the same thing; i'm better than you therefore you're not deserving of my respect. I've seen you DEMAND the right to use the word m.o.r.o.n. Is that any better than being called a spastic or an emotional cripple? (NB: I may be abusive but i'm not a stalker-i'm not interested in using those terms to anyone that's posting about their geraniums-at the same time i'm amused by the double standard of posters that insult people while hiding behind their vocabulary). I think its nobler and healthier to say what you think without the hypocritical thinking that says "i'm not nasty or abusive-that's the OTHERS".
