Strolling around with Wifey this afternoon in inner city Melb, we saw about 30 cops, standing around or talking with shop and bar owners. It looked really intense.
I asked a cop what was going on and he obliquely responded that there was a “targeted incident” last evening in the area and that they were asking people if they saw anything.

Kez, who the F is that?
We assumed date night meant you and Driller were dating, You look adorable in that blue dress. Bald but cute.
Guiseppe the Harasser, Haranguer, Pursuer can’t get me out of his head and the reason for this is when there was/is full-on warfare, he has never been able to beat me.
Appears to be the other way round, madam doxxer. We know it was you. Also, it’s fun getting you to Defcon 1 in an instant. You’re so highly strung.
Not once. .Now, of course, he has an Everest sized grudge he has to haul around. He cannot handle being mocked and ends up in a simpering mess on the floor.
Mock away, but you’re not very good at it on your lonesome. That’s why you were going after Liz all gangland style. Surprisingly it’s now disbanded. Wonder why? ?
We already know precedent has been established so slime your way to Dover’s email account and demand I am banned or you will withhold funds.
What anti anxiety tablets are you taking, Kez? Frankly, if I were Dover, I’d ban you for constantly suggesting he’s on the take. What a disgusting retard you are and have always been
That’s you goal, isn’t it, you rapacious writhing blob of
Writhing blob of excrement? Aren’t you taking this adjective thing a little too far, you trailer-trash heap of human junk.
Kez, you’re not exactly setting the world on fire with massive intellectual heft here, nor the previous blog. Outrageously outraged comments just go stale over a short distance, you angry old sad sack
But please stay, as I find you uncertain outrageous outrage amusing.
Sometime, when you have a spare moment in your busy schedule, you could explain to us how you get through life so angry at the world. Really, it would be interesting reading.
How’s it go again.
You, you won’t beat me, you, you hear!
I highlight this:

According to David Brookes it’s the professional class, Razey. The business/ Entrepreneurial types are busy trying to make a quid and live their lives.

You can’t bare to front this, but the only way you’re able to get though life as a complete person is to front this Mr Hyde thing you’ve got going.

I’m reading Australia and the Vietnam War by Peter Edwards – good , one volume history of that shooting match.
It’s an article of faith that Vietnam Veterans, disappointed with the response of the R.S.L. to mental and physical ailments, formed the Vietnam Veterans Association of Australia – they set up a counseling service specifically for Vietnam veterans that went on to become “Open Arms.”
However, it seems more veterans joined the R.S.L. then joined VVAA – more again joined neither.
Are you serious?
The first comment regarding refusing cancer treatment was ftb, I responded by mentioning a couple of relatives who’d done so, I think Win made a comment and then you chimed in.
Or maybe those other discussions have nothing to do with you.

BWAHAHAHAHA, Yes, I will answer this ridiculous post. This idiot, with snot running down his nose, singles me out as THE ONLY person who tried to educate Liz into NOT making every post about her. FFS. There were many others, but this troll singles me out because, I, along with Johanna were probably the most effective. Notice this thing doesn’t dare attack Johanna. Why is that? Because he would have his arse handed to him on a plate. He doesn’t attack recent comments re. Lizzie’s fetishes. Why is that? He aims his vitriol at me. (Because he cannot accept a women has his measure.) Let me reiterate: During the “Lizzie Wars” not once did this f/stain come to Lizzie’s defense. Not once.

I must confess to being rather skeptical about all this gender-queer business, but I have to admit that this Arky fellow certainly does have a sweet arse—no wonder he gets so many upticks!
Tell me though, is he the one on the left or the right of the photo? 😀
LOl. As the only one?
A comment ago, I mentioned how you were part of.a despicable pile-on gang. It appeared to be a very self satisfied little bunch until I intervened and stopped it.
And Kez is still reeling from that. It’s made her angrier against me.
How weird. Kez is now bringing in other people into the abuse. What a squealer. I’ve always said that I had no interest in getting involved in a girt on girl spat and also, Johanna was never joining a pile on. One on one wasn’t my concern.
Angry Kez and his gang of pathetic loons were onto a pile on.
Keep in mind that a few comments ago, Kez was denying any of this. She wanted evidence.
Now she’s saying she wasn’t the only one and dobbing in Johanna. Just pathetic.
Really? Johanna and I had stoushes going back years.
Kez is deluding herself that I ever shy away from arguments.
Why would I as I don’t really care much one way or another. Liz doesn’t go out her way to upset people by attacking them. Angry Kez does, weakly by joining in pile ons. Weak and pathetic.
Kez, sometimes you’re a woman and other times you’ve claimed to be a manly man. How often are you transitioning back and forth? Honest and real question.
Sure I did, I ended it, which is why some of these pile onners are still angry or no longer here.

I don’t get what I’m lying about. Those claims I made are true. You’ve told us you’re female and then reverted back to being male. It doesn’t matter these days if you’re unsure. As for being smutty? How so, Kez?
This obsession thing is the other way around. Just like this evening, you couldn’t stand I was ignoring you and you then had to pretend you didn’t know who Drills (Driller) is. You start 50% of these stoushes and I reserve the right to do the same. And I will because payback is a real bitch.
Stay true, Kez.
On the Big Pharma debate and the claim that these companies are somehow deliberately manipulating the market for childhood cancer drugs.
That is, they develop drugs for “management” vs drugs for a “cure”.
This assumes that:-
1. Drug companies have a cure but are suppressing it; or
2. They could develop a cure but don’t do so for commercial reasons.
Suppression of a Cure?
What odds a Pharma has a cure and are suppressing it?
Well, they’d have to keep it off patent. Imagine the outrage if they patented a cancer cure but didn’t release it? But they then run the risk of someone else patenting it.
Commercially, what is the benefit of suppressing a known cure in favour of long term management drugs?
Well, they are not that “long term”, and certainly not perpetual. As JC says, they all come off patent after a finite period.
So, they’d have to weigh the Discounted Cash Flows of the immediate payment for the cure, vs lower 10-20 year incremental payments for the “management” treatment (knowing that it could be rendered worthless at any time by a competitor’s cure).
Given that we all know Big Pharma can strong-arm governments, how much do you reckon they would charge to put a silver bullet cancer cure on the PBS?
$250k?
$500k?
More?
Diversion of Resources Away from Research for a Cure
Given the immediate and immense rewards that would accrue from bringing a cure to market, why would these avaricious companies do that?
They weigh the risks and returns of everything they do. If they saw a pathway to a silver bullet cure, they’d take it.
Not just for the rewards.
Remember, this is a two-edged sword.
If they hold back when they see a clear path to a cure, they would know that someone else will surely steal a march.
This whole illogical and unsupported assertion relies upon the erroneous assumption that Big Pharma is a single entity acting in unison.
It is not.
As JC says, there are scores (if not hundreds) of VC pharma minors and university based research outfits who would quite happily turn themselves into instant billionaires by developing a cure.
Cats – this night’s Radio Show is likely not to be posted on its own thread.
So here it is anyway:
Rabz’ Radio Show August 2023: Cars
There has always been an intimate link between cars and contemporary music and car stereos (aka sound systems) enable the immediacy of that link.
As the (almost) ultimate freedom machines, cars can enable a young man to impress an aesthetically pleasing young woman in more ways than might be immediately obvious.
There are so many songs that are about cars I’d barely be able to scratch the surface.
However – there is an insidious agenda intended to deny these wondrous freedom machines to the “common people”.
Electric Vehicles are a joke. Expensive, impractical (see the concept of “range anxiety”) and possibly lethal when not in use (another novel concept) our self-declared betters have not been shy about decreeing that the proles will use EVs, bicycles, public transport, or resort to good ol’ walking. Or else.
The Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle is in danger of extinction if these ridiculous totalitarians have their way. The plan is to tax, legislate and starve ICE vehicles out of existence.
We must not allow this to happen.
Anyway, not wanting to let the lunacy impede our enjoyment, here’s my two song choices for this month:
The most awesome coda in the history of car related songs:

Eggsactly. Permanent cure or management treatment, if the final 20 year payout is the same, Pharma don’t give a shit.
I don’t know these days, but years ago there were a similar discussion. I looked up the rate of return and these big pharma firms make around 15% return on equity capital. It’s a decent return, but not spectacular.
Google made US$16 billion income last quarter. That’s over the pavilion spectacular.

Apology accepted, Betty.
“Sliante” to all you hairy mob.
Extremely self absorbed. He once told us he bought a load of iodine for himself. This has now morphed into a Community Based Iodine organizer. Like he’s the Obama of Iodine. For lord’s sake.
The other issue is that some people must know about this cure. The discoverers would be the among most famous people in history. Do we really think they would keep that secret hidden as their friends and loved ones died from cancer and deny themselves to be among the most respected people in human history?
I’m not having a go at you Sancho but I am having a go at anyone who thinks such a discovery could remain hidden.
My suspicion is that Big Pharma makes money off prescriptions. Viagra, antidepressants, cardiac medications, diabetes drugs etc. So before we even look at the financials, and I know we can’t do this, shouldn’t we first determine where the big bucks are being made?

Big pharma makes money off prescriptions?
I never.
JohnH I’m sure they make decent money on those meds you mentioned.
But their results aren’t a moon shot.
Pfizer made US21 billion IN the last year. Their market cap is $US200 billion. Investing in the stock today means about a 10.5% return against net income. It’s okay, but not over the moon.

Corina knows.
She says the children in the community that are committing crimes aren’t to blame, instead she says it’s bad parenting that stems from ingrained social dysfunction.
“I reckon the parents should be in prison,” she says.
My point was that is where they make the big bucks, not cancer treatments.
John H
There’s no mystery in all this. These firms work things out on a spreadsheet. How much will this medication cost to bring it to market and can it make an expected return on capital over the expected life of the med. It doesn’t matter to them one way or another if the med is for ongoing treatment or a cure. There’s no mystery here because every freaking business in the world, large or small, works this way.
What’s the cost. Can I get my money back over the estimated life. That’s it.
Gilas vented:
Don’t call it an abortion, they’ll want more of them!
new target it seems?
ffs, it is tiresome
A firm that came up for the cure for Hep C for big bucks.
and
The cost, FMD
I suspect this is where we’re heading. There will be cures for cancers and all sorts of crap, but the price is going to be and has to be huge.
This is where the inequality rubber is going to meet the road.
It was one regional town, I know, but the pizzwrecks of elders were excusing juvenile crime, on the grounds that “Whitefella will never break the spirit of these proud young Aboriginal warriors.”
You know about targeting. This all you do here you hypocrite. Now, because you’ve been getting some of your own medicine back in spades, you’re whining little a little nancy. But the the blog doesn’t measure to your high standards? Don’t make us vomit.
Thanks Rabz for opening the radio show. Here is my first car song:
Steve Miller Band – Mercury Blues
heheh … it’s why you’re too scared to have a duel
have you chosen a King’s Council yet you tosser?
I am in agreement.
It is a preposterous suggestion that it could remain suppressed.
No.
If a small group knew about it at Company X, one of them could jump ship to Company Y and claim ir (or walk into a Patents Office Monday morning and register it individually).
What are his former colleagues going to say?
“Yeah. That was ours. But we were sitting on it.”
Just not credible.
Then there is this dangerous car driver:
Jan and Dean – Little Old Lady From Pasadena
They probably do.
But let’s say they have a division dedicated to cancer treatments, completely separate from statins, BP meds, diabetes drugs.
They would do the same risk-reward DCF calcs on “cure” vs “manage” drugs.
Truth is, they don’t see a payoff in the pursuit of a cure, because the chances of developing the ‘silver bullet’ are so low.
Oh so you get beaten to a pulp being shown to be a mental case and now you want to fight it out because your ego has been damaged. Is that it? Just keep making these threats dickhead. Keep’em coming. It will work out really well in the end.
Even Janis Joplin sang a car song:
Mercedes Benz
Mustn’t leave out The Beach Boys and
Little Deuce Coupe
JC at 10:01.
Jeez.
If people are paying circa $US 150 large for a Hep C cure, I think my spitball numbers of $250-$500k for a cancer cure might be undercooked.
I always imagined that the car in this song would be a Torana:
Ted Mulroney Gang – Jump In My Car
duel?
wtf r u talkin’ ’bout champ?
Sorry peoples – Dover was out and couldn’t post the thread, especially given the “hamster troubles”
It will be posted in all its glory (hopefully) next Saturday night at 7:00pm.
So hold back on those motorised favourites, please.
Can’t link. The Cars, Drive.
It seems the 60s were not only the car songs heyday but the age of beautiful cars to boot.
The Rip Chords – Hey Little Cobra
Sanchez
The WSJ was talking about this a while ago. Some of these expected cancer cures are being discussed at US 500K.
Our friend had metastasized bone cancer. She was on meds that were costing Medicare around 50K a year which went on for about 7 years.
This can’t be supported on the national insurance unless there is a substantial hike in the levy, I can’t see this happening. So it will possibly end up as a charge against superannuation accounts or one’s pocket.
Oops, too late.
JC,
exactly how many commentators have you demolished today?
and I wonder how many other forums are you busy saving at the same time as yr saving this one?
I suspect it’s zero but, still that’s some seriously impressive wank you have going on right there
a wanker of such grand stature and reputation as yourself would surely either offer a duel or get legal counsel … you know, so MT can get ‘beaten to a pulp’
but seriously, you should stop pissing about and fight
instead of posturing all the time … otherwise people might start to think yr just a narcissistic clown
GreyRanga> Here you are …
Cars – Drive
Big bucks.
But there would be enormous pressure to at least subsidise them.
I mean, if we are really talking about a one-off, cured, gone forever solution it would be yuuuge.
In fact, it was also a pretty silly assertion to say that Pharma companies are looking to get childhood cancer sufferers on “long term management” drugs.
The brutal truth is, most aren’t on them long term.
You either get better, or you die.
Horrible business case either way.
🙁
It is xining … 😕
My Favourite Cars song
oops
sorry
just shit my pants
its the bloody god oracle effect again
Stickshifts and Safetybelts
Grumpy old men RULE, and don’t you young fellas ever forget it!
hey sancho,
it isnt a pile on
JC doesn’t do pile-ons
and besides
the world doesn’t need another bad rendition of Don Quixote
That’s not the intent, Oracle.
I’m on the HVAC blog talking circuitry all the time.
Wanking? Again? How old is that, genius.
The AFP doesn’t take kindly to internet threats, which is what this talk of dueling is now becoming. But keep mentioning it though, you oracle.
Explain what you mean by fighting? Be specific.
I’m not the god oracle causing others to have diarrhea as soon as I walk into a room.
Lay it out what are these threats about fighting and dueling mean?
Try and not be derivative.
A certain personage … 🙁
I guess you’re just what I needed … another fine Cars song
Another certain personage* …
*How he avoided being sued for royaltees is better left to greater legal minds than Pancho’s and HB Bear’s, Cats …
goodnight … you fkn simpletons
not Zulu though, I like his video link
Bing Bong!
Mong flounce alert!
Bing Bong!
Trans.. Anymore of these veiled threats and you’ll need to discuss it with the AFP. If you’re unable to argue verbally, because you’re an incoherent sludge, then you should really piss off and cry in a corner.
alamak – I’ll raise you this …
This Voice, third chamber of parliament and Ayers Rock statement are genuinely frightening. The end of Australia as we know it with a new ruling class of fake Abo parasites lording it over everyone.
razey – which is why the screeech will go down in flames like the Hindenburg …
She’s my best friend’s goil …
The Bear has at least appeared in court with horsehair atop the straw boater and in a silk waistcoat.
My appearances have been in a couple of different spots, but never at the bar table.
And that is all we will say about that.
That’s all I see this whole situation as turning into. A ruling class of 1/16th and 1/64th “Aboriginals”…..
when you think about it, it is funny
here’s sancho playing well … sancho
to JC’s dragon-slaying version of Don Quixote de la Mancha
sadly by happenstance
but still, it is kind of poetic
you should get them to email me … they sound really serious
wanker
Conservatives Can’t Play Political Hardball
Nah, it was only Local Court. No robes or garb. Police prosecutor for what it was worth. Never lost a case though.
… and she used to be mine
:-/
Hard to pick just one winner from a band like the Cars.
Speaking of cars, how about driving it home with one headlight
Okay sure, but it’s also funny seeing a nasty piece of work complaining about the blog. IGo open one yourself and see how many people turn up shitting themselves.
Should he be playing anyone else? Groogs?
Well, look at you though. From God Oracle to someone making anon threats over the web because you’ve been shown to be a fool.
I guess it is.
Really? Poetic. I bet the AFP wouldn’t consider threats very poetic, but perhaps you could explain the poetry in the interview room.
Back from outdoor pursuits, followed by a gigantic feed served up by exquisite backpackers with glorious accents.
Now watching the Hitler Channel – a show on the history and workings of ICBMs.
Man, those things must have some awesome control panels. And switch-flicking to die for.
wait … can you really get charged and convicted for calling a wanker a ‘wanker’?
surely, in a just world, there’s some sort of law for stopping wankers from being actual… you know … wankers
I hope for my sake that lady justice, although blind, is as fkn stupid as you are JC
Sounds like it. 10 years for making threats to kill and 7 for threats of assault.
Do you want to elaborate a little more on this dueling thing and fighting? What do you actually mean by that, Oracle?
You don’t intimidate me or anyone else you clown. Piss off
No, but you can be changed and convicted for making veiled threats over the internet. Big time.
If only. But you can’t help yourself.
Could be, but then I wouldn’t be relying on your smarts, you genius.
Yeah, Pancho – well I have appeared at the bar table before a full bench of the Fair Work Commission as an alleged expert presenting evidence on an obscure segment of the labour force.
Not something that was in my jerb description – even had to don a tie (FFS). Their ignorance of certain superannuation provisions took me aback. Thank goodness for transcripts. They will go in my next jerb application, if I could be bothered.
It’s not easy being an economist. We are largely regarded by wider society as a joke and rightly so.
The only ones who take us seriously are the alleged nomenklatura. 😕
PS:
JC, yr over-use inline quoting is a little retarded
… do you think they’ll arrest me at gun-point?
Your threats aren’t just retarded but like all threats the should be taken seriously and treated as such especially when repeated.
Depends if you challenge them to a duel. I’m sure you’ll inform them you’re a God Oracle.
JC,
can you ask the AFP
do they know that sometime I drink at a bar right beside their barracks?
Because they’re about as useful a tits on a bull.
Glad I’m not a conservative.
FWC?
Phhht.
You don’t even have to learn Roman Numerals for that.
oops
shit myself again
yep
god oracle
I’m sure it will change everything, especially with making threats repeatedly over the internet. They would be immediately taken in by that sort of thing.
“When you first rise in the morning tell yourself: I will encounter busybodies, ingrates, egomaniacs, liars, the jealous and cranks. They are all stricken with these afflictions because they don’t know the difference between good and evil. Because I have understood the beauty of good and the ugliness of evil, I know that these wrong-doers are still akin to me . . . and that none can do me harm, or implicate me in ugliness—nor can I be angry at my relatives or hate them. For we are made for cooperation.”
I think a certain Roman general and philosopher might be surprised how much of a finite allocation of time could be wasted by people playing internet insult tennis to no useful outcome. Book a Zoom call, share your worst insults and then … move on.
JC,
the only thing bigger that your ego, is your mouth
arrogant clown
Check with St. Ruth. They might actually be broomsticks.
Sure, I agree, but it’s these threats of violence that sound really worrying.
I hope I’ve never referred to myself as a god oracle and that people literally take a dump in front of me because they’re scared.
The greatest Liberty Quote of them all:-
Nothing beats god oracle though. That takes the grand prize for the liberty quote of the year.
I get that. It is a difficult problem for them though because they explore so many different approaches. Each is a potential learning opportunity but weighing that financially must be so difficult. There are potential silver bullets for specific types of cancers but not for cancer in general. However a news report just a few days ago does point to an approach that may have benefits across a number of cancers.
Several years ago a group of scientists, led by Paul Davies, came up with a fascinating approach. They argued that cancer cells reflect the re-emergence of an ancient replication pathway. I can appreciate the novelty of the idea and given the massive chromosomal derangement(aneuploidy) that is so common in cancer it is conceivable that the usual constraints on gene transcription(methylation and acetylation) are lost and hence the cells behave more like single celled organisms dividing as often as possible. The oncological community dismissed the idea, to my knowledge it has not gained traction, but at least it represents an interesting approach to the challenge.
Matrix, when you have a minute and if I am not presuming too much, this one might be helpful for you with regard to your daughter. The young woman’s analysis of what happened to her is very insightful, and very hopeful for you as long as you keep lines of communication open with your girl.
One thing I do wonder about with this young woman – she is ‘off’ testosterone but having had her ovaries and uterus removed, I do hope that she is being given menopausal hormonal therapy now. It isn’t mentioned but it would be necessary.
For these poor girls caught up in this cruel medical nonsense and now wanting out of it, a very good endocrinologist is a necessary consultation point early on and later.
They obviously hadn’t.
Rabz: “I’d like to refer the Bench to clause blah in the Award, covering superannuation”
The Bench: “err what, you odd little gnome?”
Rabz: “Clause blah of the Award, your pompousnesses”
The Bench: “This clause exists why, you silly little man?”
Rabz: “Because Keato stated that superannuation would exist so that wukkas wouldn’t be dependent on the aged pension when they reached retirement age, your pompousnesses”
The Bench: “This is a profoundly ridiculous and presumably previously unheard of concept, you silly little man”
Rabz: “Evidently, your pompousnesses”
The Bench: “Now go away and let us not ever be cursed by the presence of your like again, we pronounceth”

How’s USSR. I hear you’re very friendly terms. Nice gal. Do you know if she’s still pizzagating her way through life?
thanks but, she’s 30yo
she can do whatever she wants
And let’s not forget our Drive-in Days.

That is my understanding.
So a breakthrough in gastrointestinal cancers means sfa in the world of brain tumours and blood and bone cancers.
Incidentally, if anyone reads the story in the Oz about the advances in childhood cancer treatments, and all they can think of is shaking their fist at Big Pharma, it might be time for a visit to the Hall of Mirrors.
Inspiring and encouraging stuff.
Just be thankful they didn’t don the black rag on top of the horsehair, Rabz, you impertinent little upstart, and despatch you to the Tower.
I find it really hard to comprehend those Liberals, particularly the two women, who voted against Pauline Hanson’s wish to have the issues of physically ‘transitioning’ children brought before a Senate enquiry, especially given the new medical accounts now arising internationally.
Yet today, two friends waiting on the floor near to me for the start of our dance class, whom I know and find very nice people, when briefly discussing books read recently, said how they didn’t enjoy J.K. Rowling’s latest because of its anti-trans ‘agenda’. After all, they said to each other, with me caught silently located in the middle of their exchange, it’s terrible what parents go through with unkind people being nasty when all they are trying to do is to help their poor child to become the sex they really are. These women live in a Teal electorate, voted Teal and have been influenced by Teal propaganda. The class started before I had time to say anything to them. Their views depressed me, made me unhopeful re the feelz appeal of the Voice. Far too many women don’t think, they just emote. Luckily, some of us at coffee can put alternative viewpoints, and we do.
???
Curious thing to say if you enjoy being here.
Crikey.
There’s a blast from the past.
Whatever happened to that bitter old [I’d rather we didn’t use that sort of language here thanks – DB]?
It’s actually possibly generalisable if you are talking about the Flinders U stuff.
I think that might be mis-gendering.
Of course she can. That’s a given. But she can also talk to her dad, who can show he understands some of the feelings she’s had. While you are both cooking up a storm together. That’s a start. As you can see from the young woman in the video, the way her decisions affected her family had a continuing salience. That is only natural, as we grow up in families and they count for more than almost anything else.
If it is hurtful right now, let the video be. But it is there if you bookmark it for later.
I’ll butt out now.
Bedtime here anyway.
The best thing about Trump going rogue is that it has outed some real frauds like Bill Mitchell.
I never thought Roseanne Barr was going to be a political scientist or that she’d be more attractive than Maddona Ciccone.
lol, Rabz. That’s the way. Save Dover the bother.
Must have a drink again with you soon.
So you can unredact. 🙂
You can expect to be handcuffed whilst clad in your pyjamas.
That’s the usual Australian way of handling people who pose your level of risk to the public.
Full bench Rabz, impressive stuff. Or collectively about an intellectual match for you + your dog.
He has to win 60/ 40, Dot. Otherwise the election will be considered stolen.
My god, I used to blow up when USSR would post Bill Mitchell’s stupid mug and fake teeth, along with the incredibly dull, pointless and boring Bill Still as well.
These late nite threads read much better without upticks.
I agree upticks can be useful, keep going the sense of involvement of a community, but in long abusive sessions late nite they are tedious.
Guess that’s ok if the boredom sends people to bed when it’s bedtime. 🙂
Clearly, an insufficient number of people have involuntarily defecated once aware of his presence.
Or, and to put it another way, there has been an abject failure to enthrall the audience – of whom most have been in more than one rodeo themselves.
Hence the recent displays of petulant sookage.
Can’t find @srrohohyes anywhere!
Lol @ Matrix. You won’t be arrested. An emotionally incontinent jerk on a blog site, getting all riled up coz he’s getting a bit of his own back, isn’t going to get 10 seconds of their attention.
Cops aren’t interested in actual targeted death threats via the internet. (Not unless the target is a politician.)
I know, I’ve some experience with receiving threats to life electronically – & on far more public forums than this one.
They’ll laugh at him.
Gutless Guiseppe is having a tantrum coz you disrespect his status. Don’t you know who he is?
He’s a coward, he won’t do anything, except rant at his screen & cover it with spittle.
Threats of cops (box ticked)
Threats of barristers sooled onto you (box ticked)
Next box to tick is a veiled threat of doxing.
He hasn’t the balls for that either.
Driller
Stop enticing people towards making threatening comments over the web.
Topper alert. How many more.
Who, is “Driller”?
Oh Okay, let’s make it official then
Steve, stop enticing people towards making threatening comments over the web.
It is not possible to stop what has not been started.
Unlike, say, a request to you, to stop being a cockhead.
Steve, you were the other evening and you are now. It’s repeated enticement.
