Australia goes down the toilet! 23-Aug-2010 At 8:12:16 AM Phil Box

If I have offended individuals personally with my broad sweeping generalisations then I am of course deeply sorry. That was not my intention. My intention was and always has been that in a political discussion thread that my opposing view should be discussed with robustness and boldness. Such a pity that this discussion devolved into personal attacks. The messenger has been well and truely shot.

Not a lot of point continuing with this thread as it has now lost all context due to censorship. Pity, it was very lively, yes it was controversial. I thought we climbers were not afraid to take on risky projects. Seems I was wrong.

Still wondering how this got from a discussion about homosexual marriage to racism. Seems thaTt if some don't like the subject of discussion and iit does not accord with their world view then the hammer should be dropped. Pity.
