Attacks on pluralism (was: Re: [LINK] Surely it's time we privatised the ABC)

[Frank O'Connor]

Ohh ... oh - have I offended you Vic?

Please accept my earnest mea culpa .

I must make sure to find the right ( I mean it's gotta be right!) 
self-flaggelation technique to atone for my misdeeds.

I don't suppose you've looked at the cause and effect angle here?

I mean something must stimulate these bursts of insult and vitriol in 
you direction.

Perhaps ... just perhaps you could use the peasantry in the list as a 
sort of experiment.

See, they foolishly believe that life is a reciprocal arrangement. 
Treat others with respect ... and they'll return it. Treat them like 
crap ... and they'll return that in spades.

Perhaps there's some minor flaw in your character or mail list 
technique (that they are obviously misinterpreting) that makes them 
'pick on you'. Hard to believe, I know ... but we could be onto 
something here.

I can't for myself credit why these legions who support you haven't 
raised their objections more publicly ... but I'm sure we'll convince 
them to stand up for the principle of 'Vic Uber Alles'.

Your infinite capacity for blaming others, delusions of grandeur and 
myopic self absorption makes me long to know what you are currently 
smoking. Hey, I want some of it for myself!
