I don't "immediately comment about [you] on another blog using the information to make some nasty story against [you]." That is not my style. What you are doing here is not right, Rachel, and if you don't know it I pity you. <br /><br />My reference to you sulking was not linked to anyone/anything specific. It's what you do (by your own, if veiled, admission), perpetually, habitually. <br /><br />To end on a conciliatory note, one thought, Rachel, maybe one even you will consider before tossing it into the wind: By its very nature we lay ourselves open when writing on the public forum a blog is. It is an exercise in trust. A trust which we hope will not be abused. We also lay ourselves open to criticism. Criticism, often constructive not destructive, which we should consider, reflect on and take on board. I have learnt a lot during the years I have blogged and commentated elsewhere. But, Rachel, in order to broaden our horizon we need to be receptive not always on the defensive, the latter often converting to going on the attack.<br /><br />I wish you well - I mean it, from one human being to another. May you find some peace.<br /><br />UAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-25014662364937089002017-02-10T04:18:42.484+00:002017-02-10T04:18:42.484+00:00Oh, hello JT.

Sometimes he would creep back in the night and delete them himself. He didn't like gays and hated religion being rubbished but I was never afraid of him, just treated him as a I would a small child. I am now looking at the collection of Marvin the Martian and Daffy duck ties he has sent as gifts over the years. He still turns up but has been extremely ill and I don't think has long to live. We were always trying to get him to put his stories of early Melbourne criminal side on a blog but he wouldn't. As Andrew said,he was interesting.JahTehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007730071564639411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-26890442698019908032017-02-10T00:51:25.866+00:002017-02-10T00:51:25.866+00:00Let me help you out, Tom.

One may say the former lacks a sense of subtlety.<br /><br />I did not "attempt banter". I leave that to you and your cronies. <br /><br />Thanks for the laugh: I should "try and be NICE"? You are joking, aren't you? You are the most curt and rude person I have ever met in blogland. You are rude to and dismissive of even Rachel who is not exactly backward in coming forward herself. Try and be "nice" yourself instead of being so abrasive.<br /><br />Your last three sentences are a rambling repeat of what you said earlier to me. You don't need to block me. There will be no more "boredom" in your comment box.

That is so generous, not to say perceptive, of you.<br /><br />Let me rewrite your reply for you: "You are combative." That's a statement of fact - and acceptable. However, to qualify it as "boringly [combative]" only reflects on your boredom threshold. You may like to hike it up a notch or ten.<br /><br />You feel "threatened", Tom? Don't. If you slander someone - and you did - then it is reasonable to expect that the slandered may mention libel action. Mind you, in my experience it's more trouble than the slanderer is worth. People fall on their own sword.<br /><br />My so-called threat is "irritating". Sure it's irritating. Most likely because it unsettled you.<br /><br />Your snide "as a cleaner in chambers" is, of course, the sort of remark one may expect from ... I don't know. You?<br /><br />You advise me "to grow up" like, according to you, I advise others to do. I can't remember advising any of you "to grow up". It's a trite and lazy phrase that doesn't feature in my vocabulary. As lazy as your <br />continued claim that I lack a sense of humour.<br /><br />You "wish it was possible to block people like [me]". People like me? People like what? People with a questioning mind? People who challenge opinions and perceptions, including my own? Anyway, you must have noticed that since you deleted my last two, rather complimentary of your talents, comments a few weeks ago I haven't said a word. Miss me, do you?<br /><br />UAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-47665312165843528342017-02-10T00:35:52.693+00:002017-02-10T00:35:52.693+00:00Me too :)Me too :)Notes From ABroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202279303962539035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-18678793884649714792017-02-09T23:15:15.908+00:002017-02-09T23:15:15.908+00:00Are you bored tom by any chance?

I am bored with the current obsession with the transgender issues as much as I am bored with the gay and lesbian issues it has eclipsed, and the racial and feminist issues before that. You don,t have to be a bigot to be bored by this stuff any more than you have to be an anti Semite to disapprove of the Israeli government's less acceptable behaviour. I would like to think that I have made a bit of personal progress since the age of 15.
