I see you still need some help.

You haven’t overstated anything and you haven’t offended me.

Here’s what you said:

“Unfortunately many who vote for this party are kidded into believing that the greens actually care about the environment – they don’t.”

That’s not “over stating a point – to make a point”.

It’s “black-is-white”
It’s “2+2=5″
It’s “the-holocaust-never-happened”

Okay I am sure that the greens have the best intentions when it comes to the environment and I have offended you deeply – I was merely over stating a point – to make a point. But obviously you were a bit too sensitive and so missed the point.

However the greens are just not very effective and have been hampered by non environmental issues.

I just hope that the greens are not to burdened by ideology to actually review how the left is approaching the environment. The environent should be a cross-partisan issue – however the greens have pigeon holed themselves due to other issues and if they have something to offer then the country and our environment has missed out.

I would happily vote for the greens if they become a centrist party that was first, second and third a green party – minus the baggage. This party mainly frustrates me because I am a greenie – I have planted thousands of native trees, trapped possums, stoats, ferrets and rats, cleaned rubbish out of streams and have reserved of most of my substantial property to regenerating native bush.

Lastly I am concerned at your level of dislike of people at a personal level – cheer up and smile once and a while! Most ACT supporters (and I am not one) are nice people, who pay taxes and give to charity.

I don’t really like the ACT party. I don’t agree with most of their policies and I find their membership generally obnoxious on a personal level. I think they get most things wrong most of the time.

I criticise their faults as I see them. Sometimes I argue against their policies. And that’s ok because people have different views and we enjoy talking about them. With me so far?

If during one of these discussions I were to say something monumentally stupid like “The ACT party doesn’t believe in the free market”, I would expect to be called out for it. I would also expect to be ridiculed, humiliated and pilloried until I admitted my gross error.

(Of course I’ll probably never be in that position as I’m not quite as hard of thinking as you, but it’s just an example.)

Sorry if you take me calling you stupid as a “personal attack” but you are a person and what you wrote was demonstrably stupid so it’s out of my hands really.

Let me know when you finish reading this and don’t be scared to ask for help if there’s anything you don’t understand.

But then again if you continue to base arguments on personal attacks – well good for you it is a free country.

I agree with Felix. Your a moron.

And the Boneheaded post of the day goes to: Mr Shankly at 2.17

with: “Unfortunately many who vote for this party are kidded into believing that the greens actually care about the environment – they don’t.”

Congratulations, your an acclaimed moron.

I suppose Bill & Ben are the new McGillicuddy Serious aren’t they? Did anyone actually read there policy? That they promise not to make any promises? That was more in-depth policy than National managed

Ianmac: That was the Kiwi Party – Gordon Copeland’s crowd. They gained about 10k votes – about 1/9th of what they needed to get over the threshold. They were so disorganasied they didn’t even apply for broadcasting funding.

That includes everything I’ve ever read from d4j, Monty, Tim Ellis, monkey boy, coge and Sarah.

There really is no appropriate response to it so I’ll leave it at that and hope you can figure out how to turn your computer off when you’re done.

Wow.

Why don’t they show some integrity and call themselves the communists or socialists etc.

Unfortunately many who vote for this party are kidded into believing that the greens actually care about the environment – they don’t.
