I think that this has gone far enough for me. I said many posts ago that this was problematic and should be in CA. I was ignored, and attacked by someone who should know better. You are all entitled to your opinion. But so am I. I'm done with this topic.

You reported a post, it was looked at by other mods - not me, and decided it was fine - not ignored by any stretch. I had an opinion I stated it - same as you. It wasn't personally directed at you but you took it that way. If your opinion isn't what others think and challenge it, that's just what it is. I'm not going out of my way to cause upset mate, but if you post stuff others don't agree with (and vice versa) then push back will happen. If the push back is all one way, then I'm not sure what I can do about that.

Fascinating, Mike. So, just who judges that? You? Dr Faucci? The demented idiot in the White House? Daniel Andrews? The medical people here in Victoria losing their jobs because they don't agree with you? Ambos, Cops, Fieries? Doctors, nurses? It's happening here Mike.

Do you, or have you ever smoked? Do you, or have you ever drunk alcohol? Do you, or have you ever injected drugs? Do you, or have you ever used a tanning salon? Do you, or have you ever inhaled fumes from soldering or welding? Do you, or have you ever work with asbestos. ALL of the above are far more deadly than this virus, and nobody suggests denying sufferers medical help as to do so would be obscene. Australia has been at the forefront in supporting communities with cholera, ebola and HIV, but we cannot do the same with this? Do you REALLY mean that?

I’ll pose this rebuttal.

People are moaning about their freedoms being reduced. And it’s been mostly the great unwashed making all the noise.

And in an irony - the protests, gatherings etc are the EXACT formula needed to give the governing body reason to enact further restrictions.


Your Ebola comparison is faulted - no vaccines to prevent it, no full treatment for HIV either - although there is lots of management (via pharma) which has got HIV down to almost undetectable levels.
None of those people refuse treatment/medications to reduce the impact.

All the other comparisons fail to stack up.
None of them are immediate - none potentially fatal in less than 2 weeks. And none contagious to others without their knowledge.

Yes, I did report a post. I believe that your post, with the Super Moderator beside your name, was an abuse of your power. I would not have reported it otherwise. Like you said, it was opinion, but it would be better if you had a handle that was not Mod. Your post was fiery. I can handle that, as you probably know. It's just when you, or anyone, come down with your Moderator colours flying. That's not OK. Maybe a PM would be better.

NO. NOT the same. You posted as a supermod, and you had a go at me personally. You told ME to grow up. You told ME to be an adult. That's personal, Gav.

Really? Opinion is just that. You have yours, and I have mine. You are welcome to yours, but apparently I'm not welcome to mine.

You sure about that? Lots of follow on posts suggest otherwise.

No. I took it in the way it was delivered, Gav. You were quite heated. You gave no room whatsoever for dissent. Your post is still there mate.

A curious statement. If I read it right, what you are saying is exactly how I believe this forum should work, without the high handed stuff from Super Moderators throwing their hands in.

I reiterate MY position. I like you , Gav. I got licked awake by bloody Wes 11 years ago. I'd like to raise a glass to him if we can ever agree on Wombat.

Not interested, Mike. You have your opinion, I have mine. I believe every one is worthwhile.

While on the subject of Mods.

Q? A mod is a mod is a mod, Correct?



Have never understood what a Supermod is. Theremust be more to it than a Name. Do Moderators also need supervising ? Doubt it, as Admin would serve that function.


Do they fly with a large S on their chest leaping from tall Buildings & travel faster than a speeding train or a Bullet? Do they undress in Phone boxes? (A bit odd that one). This is the only forum I have used that appears to have them.


What is their purpose as the name implies. Replies in a sugarbag svp.

awww derrrr, supermod is self titled and it's goodo with me

you have your cynical moi ? alongside your name.....same thing

keep up the good work Gav.....

If that is the reason I have found it a bit flamin' pompous.


So you are implying it is not an Official Title & that anyone can put that after their name? A bit pointless if so. That can't be right.

'Supermod', as I know them!
