I do hope you have complained to the Admin about these off topic comments. Huh?

;)
Mantra is the one who hits the complain button. Constantly, I have never, ever complained to the "authority" I am quite capable of handling crap all by myself. Thank you. There is no need to act like a banshee either. ;)
I complain publicly usually Neferti. How many complaints do you think I've made since he's been admin?

Liberal frontbencher Bronwyn Bishop says Prime Minister Julia Gillard had "demeaned" every woman in parliament by playing the "gender card".

Ms Gillard on Tuesday accused Opposition Leader Tony Abbott of a history of sexism and misogyny, in a passionate speech that has become a global media sensation via the internet.

Ms Bishop told parliament today during a debate on the impact of the carbon tax on pensioners, that the prime minister always sought to blame others for her government's failings.

"The day will come when you can no longer call the gender card or the victim card, and by pretending to be a victim the prime minister has demeaned every woman in this parliament," Ms Bishop said.

"We didn't come here to be told that we could not do the job and needed to be treated differently.

"We came here on this side of the parliament to say we were the best person for the job to represent the people, and the ideas we have are the best ideas to take us into government.

"We don't wish to be treated as somehow less able or a victim of somebody's spiteful words."

The Liberal frontbencher said the prime minister's speech had been "pathetic".

"Could you imagine (German chancellor) Angela Merkel making a speech like that, or Maggie Thatcher making a speech like that?" she said.

"Of course not. The fact of the matter is if you take leadership you must exercise leadership and if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."

Every so often somebody who is a Mod (on various boards) mentions that YOU, Mantra have hit the "report" button more times than necessary. If you disapprove of "language" and "free speech" why are you here? Perhaps you would feel better being a NUN? :mrgreen:

About the time of the changeover - I was cranky. I pressed the report button once because IQ's one word comment "C U N T" was off topic. AM found it sometime later. Since then.................???

OMG I've been outed by mantra.
how would you know who told you why is my private business out in the air so to speak. It shouldn't be. Did someone break confidentiality or are you a mod and you just did mantra? How many times? How many issues? Less than a handful of issues I think mantra. I can check if you like.

Yes I press the report button and as long as retards do the wrong thing I will continue to. They are there to help mods do their jobs properly.
I'm not about to let anyone cower me into not pushing it. Far better than a flame war of mellie proportions don't you think. I am quite capable of it BTW.

You just outed yourself. I was making an assumption because you do complain a lot - you always have. I haven't a clue what goes on behind the scenes. Call it intuition if you want. :lol:

Idiot!
No I never said she was.
But she does speak sense, unlike everyone you've posted so far. :rofl
