Well now I've been educated. But I probably learned something other than the intended lesson.

57. You won't get through to them.

It's hopeless and I found trying to be too taxing.

I don't come here to get angry. So I put 15 names on my jury block, put the worst offenders on Ignore for two weeks.

Instantly my DU experience became what I was looking for: a place to read news important to liberals and progressives, and a place to post on issues that matter. Whether or not an Australian politician used a word derived from Latin is not of concern to me. He'll receive the response his constituency deems fit. If it has the same connotations there as here, he'll likely lose his job. I doubt that will be the case.

It's been suggested that the article was only posted to elicit a response to a trigger word. Perhaps that's true, but if someone would try to deliberately bait me in such an obvious way, I'd ignore it and let the topic fizzle out.

Both sides seem to be in it for the chance to vent spleen. Xin Loi.
