The thread "What a sad excuse for a group this is... " currently has
217 messages. That is in itself an indictment of the lack of
imagination in the majority of participants, who agree with the
depressing sentiment but do nothing about starting a more positive
thread. Furthermore, it is indicative of a deep malaise lurking like
an infection that the offensive thread was started before Christmas
and no one said, "Hey, that's a bit intolerant in the season of
goodwill."

Making such a comment is its own form of intolerance...

I know, Keith [said in a caring, sharing voice, like a Labour Party
spokesman interviewed on the gogglebox about old ladies who can't walk
because the National Health is too ****ed up to do simple hip
replacements], I know. But what can one do except keep quiet about the
fact that there are arseholes abroad -- and loud? I try but I don't
think I'll ever be quite that cringemakingly politically correct; in
fact, it is more likely that I shall first believe in unscientific
crap like global warming -- and you know that one's got Buckley's
chance (1).

Unsigned out of fear of meeting the same fate as Bjorn Lomborg


(1) For the untravelled, in Melbourne there is, or used to be, a
department store called Buckley & Nunn.
