Skimming through recent posts at the Cat, aka the Liberal Party Admiration Society (h/t Marilyn) I notice Nick (one of Cassie's Gang of Four before they all became besties again) quoted a comment about me by Struth back in January. That seems like as good a place to start rankling a few feathers, so here goes -
.
So saith Struth The Wise, Knower Of All Things And Everything. There's a lot to be covered there, and I am still building up energy levels after some pretty extensive surgery (ingrown toenails can be a bitch), so I will break down my reply into segments I can handle. We'll start with a questionnaire based on just the very first sentence of the above quote from Struth.
QUESTION 1
Which blog owner had a sneaky habit of going back after threads were closed to every body else, and altering, changing, deleting, and/or adding to posts to paint some people in a good light (The Gang Of Four) , and some in a bad light (most specifically Ellie and anybody who defended her)? Yes, I have screen dumps.
QUESTION 2
Which blog owner also happens to be an economist at an Australian University?
QUESTION 3
What has this blog owner been working on these past couple of years in his day job as an economist?
QUESTION 4
What orginisation has this blog owner cum economist been doing this work for under contract?
QUESTION 5
Why does this organisation want this new technology?
QUESTION 6
Who is this organisation doing this work for?
QUESTION 7
Who, ultimately, is footing the bill?
QUESTION 8
What else has this branch of this organisation been involved in the development of, for the same clients and sponsors?
Off you go. The answers are all in comments at the Cat, or are readily available in the public domain. If you get stuck I will supply you the answers, maybe next weekend.

FOOTNOTE 1
Struth, I may be old, and I may have had multiple major strokes, multiple major heart attacks, and multiple open heart surgeries, but I'm STILL here. Death will just have to wait. I reckon these new trimmed toenails should extend my warranty for a few more years at least. I certainly hope so. A certain appendage that has not been particularly active these past couple of years seems to have found a new lease of life. I have six weeks R&R, then eight weeks intensive physio rehab. After that I may have to go looking for a good woman. Well, maybe a not so good woman. In fact, a positively naughty one would do nicely.
FOOTNOTE 2
Struth, please lay off the Ellie bashing. You have no concept of the demons she has faced on a daily basis. Nobody at the Cat does. Her comments about what her father did to her, while true, are only the tip of a very large, very ugly story. In fact I think she uses it as a protective shield against those even deeper, even more painful memories.
I have not heard from her since last July, when I let her down badly. Hopefully she has found someone better able to give her the nurturing, friendship and caring that she needs and deserves. That I was not man enough to provide. I certainly hope so. She is a Very Special Lady, regardless of what you may think.
"What he thinks about Sinclair is probably over the top, but he’s said much about things…he is a bit of a conspiracy theorist in my view. I am not him.
And going back many years ago, he used to come up with some good information, and now he is very old, many strokes and near death, lost his wife, which sent him on his wrongful course with that woman who had all the emotional problems….. he losing the plot…….he shouldn’t be a concern for you whatever he thinks.
Grow up."
