		<description>James: You might not like it, but the government was legitimately elected. Your recourse is at the ballot box later this year. 

If you genuinely think there&#039;s a Labour gestapo, bully-boys doing the rounds, or  that we&#039;ve entered the communist totalitarianism your `comrade&#039; comment suggests, you&#039;ll realise there&#039;s no point in voting and I expect you to take up arms any day now to reclaim your country.

If, on the other hand, your comment is just spectacular hyperbole based on the false victimhood often felt by poor losers, then you&#039;ll turn up and vote as normal.

May the best men and women win.

		<description>I was offline last night. Orcon shifted my DSL from one phone line to another (so I can drop a voice line). Worked fine until someone disabled my login to their net. 

Back on again so the DNS and mail are up (and my cell has stopped ringing). Off to work.

Update: Nope - they changed the IP number last night as well. Getting that fixed. We can&#039;t have whale getting confused if I shift IP numbers on him can we. He might think it is a conspiracy, and it certainly won&#039;t help with his tech confusion..

Update2: Bugger em - I&#039;ll just shifted the dns to the new IP while they get around to fixing the problem. I think of it as a learning experience for Whale.</description>

		<description>One can understand the confusion in Whaleoil&#039;s mind. he is, afterall, the son of ex National Party President, John Slater and has been seen gracing the social pages of the SST in the company of Rodney Hide.
Cameron Slater&#039;s rants have as much credibilty as his fellow bloggers like Barnsley who have attempted to block the Labour Party hiring school halls to hold their meetings!!</description>

WTF?

&lt;strong&gt;[lprent: I&#039;m aware that you aren&#039;t really up with the play (I read your comments on whale and KB). But I think you have just been delicately called a moronic troll who likes playing in cesspits. Describing you quite well I think.]&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Huh? 96 replies to this thread already?!? 

Why the buggery bollox are we even giving oxygen to anything that was stirred up in that cesspool (that some mistakenly like to call a blog) which I can&#039;t even bring myself to type the name of in case it causes me to projectile vomit on my keyboard?

Yanno Lynn has stated his position on this so many times that to hear it restated all over again in yet another tedious trolly thread is less interesting to me right now than charting the evolution of a single celled septic tank amoeba.

Lynn... ma leetle chilli pepper... if this was my place I&#039;d give these trolling mofo&#039;s 12 hours for closing statements and lock down this classic example of what the &#039;sod calls &quot;pig-fucking&quot; once and for all. 

Oh yeh... and a weeks ban to any participant who has already quizzed you on the facts you restated above in any previous thread at the Standard. 


PS: my captcha says &quot;be 160th&quot;. Even the recaptcha is exaggerating in this sodding thread sheeesh :-o

&lt;strong&gt;[lprent: The cesspool owner is straying into an area of my expertise and doing it badly. He needed some feedback.]&lt;/strong&gt;</description>
