Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

Can we keep this about policy, please? These personal attacks have no place in Australian poltics.

PS Shifty's surname almost ends in a vowel, and has a squiggly line over a letter. So, you know....terrorist.

They're all pretty much the same. Thats why I cant understand this strange support many people have for one side over the other like they are a sporting team.

Politician's love the term 'pub test' but if a pollie walked into a pub I'm in I'd probably decide its time to call it a night and go home.

It's time to burn down the liberal party and salt the earth. The conservatives can **** off to One Nation, Katter or whatever the **** Corey Bernardi has called his little band of racist homophobes. The rest can form the Sensible Moderates Party.

Anyone who is a sensible moderate belongs in the Labor Party.

Labor hasn't been 'left wing' since Whitlam.

Well Morrison has invited Trump over for a possible November visit, what are the odds of them still being leaders by then?

I bow down to thee oh great Nickman, the wisest of the wise, your political adroitness is unsurpassed, your sagacity is unmatched, your wisdom shines through on this forum amongst us mere mortals as bright as your scalp under the light of a full moon, never shall I doubt your analytical prowess again. You are my hero, my lord, my savior, may you accept my offerings so you continue to bless us with your genius.

Abbott not given a ministry :lol:

Dutton is back as home affair Minister, but they've taken Immigration out of that portfolio.

Probably be on again in a few months.
