		<description>Mmmmm, no. This is a thread about shoes and gender issues (or isshoes). And the sisters (in shoes or without them) are sick of blokes telling them what are important issues and what are not.

I just wanted to show this picture of these shoes. And in the spirit of the shoes, it might be time to go over all Stalin and close the thread. I can&#039;t check it for the rest of the night and there might be nasty comments like the one deleted posted. Have a good night.

The Age reports former premier Paul Lennon as saying that the Gunns project is now &quot;dead in the water&quot;.
Any comments?</description>

		<description>paul, if you don&#039;t accept the comments policy, and our interpretation of it, you have no place commenting here. Simple as that. Every time you make a comment, you implicitly agree to abide by it. It&#039;s quite possible to have disagreement without getting personal, making comments offensive to individuals, and to maintain good practice in being responsive to the topic. If you choose not to do that, that&#039;s your choice, but we are not obliged to entertain either comments or objections from someone who is not prepared to participate according to the guidelines we&#039;ve laid down.</description>

		<description>The 295 comment is no longer there. Didn&#039;t see it previously. It was highly objectionable in relation to another commentator and also had a nasty inference about women being guilty for sexual assaults committed against them.

I did have better things to do ;). I was watching &lt;em&gt;The &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Simpsons &lt;/em&gt;and eating Hudson Homer chocolate ice cream. 

Here&#039;s a pair of shoes that I think are lovely:

		<description>Mindy - &lt;i&gt;I don’t think it’s fair to call Rebekka obnoxious, just because she makes you defend your arguments...&lt;/i&gt;
.
Not really. I called her obnoxious &#039;cause, well, she is. 
.
&lt;i&gt; You give as good as you get.&lt;/i&gt;
.
Yep. I&#039;m obnoxious too :) . Rebekka and I are the Beatrice and Benedick of &lt;i&gt;Larvatus Prodeo&lt;/i&gt;. 
.
&lt;i&gt;Isn’t a robust discussion what you are here for?&lt;/i&gt;
.
Nah... Pavlov&#039;s Cat&#039;s right. I&#039;ve stop taking my medication and I think I&#039;m Napoleon. :)  .
.
And now about the shoes. &lt;a href=&quot;http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/05/Tanker_boots.jpg/800px-Tanker_boots.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;These&lt;/a&gt; are the kinda thing: good for kickin&#039; boys with.</description>

		<description>Darlene&#039;s no doubt got better things to do, but I might jump in here and point out that the comments policy suggests that a whole thread shouldn&#039;t be captive to some discussion of one commenter&#039;s views. So I&#039;d suggest that the topic of &quot;paul walter&quot; has been discussed sufficiently. And from a moderation point of view, he might like to consider the high degree of offensiveness of at least the comment directed at Rebekka @ 295. It&#039;s unacceptable.

Our place, our rules, remember.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The superiority I must likewise ashamedly own; what part of this is due to quality, what part the patrician pose is something others can decide.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Now who&#039;s leaving himself wide open?

You&#039;re deluded, dude.</description>

		<description>Oh, I have many, many faults, but posing and self-absorbtion are not two of them. I will admit to being impatient, sarcastic, occasionally short-tempered, pedantic, lazy and too literal. And not gladly suffering fools.</description>

		<description>Ooooh wee!!!
.
Thangs is hot!
.
This Paul chappy comes along and asks me why I bother. Y&#039;all only get nasty. Then he gets nasty. Mmm don&#039;t know about that &#039;rape&#039; comment there old sock. Rebekka is obnoxious but we should be most dispassionate in discussing this most unpleasant thing. Fatal charm, I&#039;d wager, isn&#039;t what precipitates rape. A callous will to power does and it&#039;s something that keeps us in the gutter.  
.
Helen says she sees: &lt;i&gt;a fair bit of snideness in Adrien’s posts&lt;/i&gt; and well she does. The superiority I must likewise ashamedly own; what part of this is due to quality, what part the patrician pose is something others can decide. 
.
But I am not entitled, nor feel myself thus. &lt;i&gt;No-one&lt;/i&gt; is. Amongst my ancestors there were those who were entitled. They were the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thecelticfestival.com/clans/stewart.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Thanes&lt;/a&gt; of something or other and people had to address them as my lord or lady this and that. This means exactly this: Nothing. 
.
Helen thinks some people see me &quot;as a poor innocent Candide being mocked by the crool denizens of the purple realm.&quot;
.
Well that&#039;s a class bit of prose there Helen but anyone who thinks me innocent is not merely mistaken but psychotic. :)</description>

		<description>The thing that gets on my goat is the suggestion that anyone who is interested in gender issues is &quot;middle class&quot; and whatever else. All presumption and for many of us, not true. It&#039;s just a way of trying to tell us to shut up with the women&#039;s stuff.

Anyway, I just read a horrible horrible story about a terrible case of child abuse. Presumably we shouldn&#039;t talk about such stuff because it&#039;s not to do with G-20 or those kind of &quot;serious&quot; things.

		<description>paul last week posted quite a quite a few times on the &quot;OMG Valley Girl Thread&quot; which really exposes his self-important hypocrisy but even amongst all the light hearted and fun comments on that thread, he couldn&#039;t quite suppress his bubbling gynophobia - this comment had no context, and wasn&#039;t part of any joke:

&lt;blockquote&gt; much of the problem also relates to the development of femine hygeine, spray on deodoriser etc products, from the ’sixties onwards. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Like WTF? 

And this pearler is from a recent thread on paid maternity leave revealing how easily paul moves away from his claims and core positions when the issue heads anywhere near females - even siding wif the bosses!!

&lt;blockquote&gt; I understand a woman only has to be hired for a year to be eligible, so it could be hard for small employers as well as a well-worked rort, although I recall Mark concludes that government involvement should enable employers to avoid hardship (fancy me feeling sorry for an employer!). Am on welfare myself, so my hypothetical proposition that I can’t get six months off to go and smoke dope, so why should women and “families” get paid to indulge their cultural conditioning and self image, could be misinterpreted. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;d say way over a decade at least.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>paul last week posted quite a quite a few times on the &#8220;OMG Valley Girl Thread&#8221; which really exposes his self-important hypocrisy but even amongst all the light hearted and fun comments on that thread, he couldn&#8217;t quite suppress his bubbling gynophobia &#8211; this comment had no context, and wasn&#8217;t part of any joke:</p>
<blockquote><p> much of the problem also relates to the development of femine hygeine, spray on deodoriser etc products, from the ’sixties onwards. </p></blockquote>
<p>Like WTF? </p>

		<description>Fine - &lt;i&gt;Hey, Jinmaro why don’t you get yourself some blogging software and set up your own site. Then we can all come around to your place and gasp in awe at your intellectual rigour.&lt;/i&gt;
.
You don&#039;t need blogging software it&#039;s all online. I know you&#039;re being sarcastic but that&#039;s not a bad idea. Jinmaro has guts. And and as &lt;a href=&quot;http://bigsblog.blogspot.com/images/ermey.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this very wise person&lt;/a&gt; says guts is enough. I suspect she might have more than that.
.
&lt;i&gt;Nice fan you’ve picked up there, Adrien.&lt;/i&gt;
.
Actually yeah. :)  . That said her argument that feminism has atrophied over the last quarter century or so is completely wrong.
.
Your impeccable excavation of the facts show her argument not only to be wrong but utterly mistaken. Obviously feminism is very a strong current influence in today&#039;s society and has been consistently vital since the heyday of the second wave. 
.
Which makes it even more puzzling as to why we still live in a patriarchy. :)</description>

		<description>Hey paul walter, here&#039;s your comment in the Mr Darcy thread.

&quot;Don’t know how relevant this is, but apparently were related to the Dukes of Chandos, freebooters associated with Marlborough; also Warren Hastings, the probable model for colonel what-’is-face in one of Austen’s novels ( Sense and Sensibility? ). Hastings got caught with his fingers in the till in a big way during his defacto vice regal time in India.&quot;

A trifle self-absorbed and poseur-ish surely? Tsk. Tsk.</description>

		<description>Well then, with all due respect (i.e. none) I wish you well in your search for a clue how to behave in company.

Got many friends?</description>

		<description>Nope. You are middle class poseurs and perfect examples of self absorption and false consciousness.
I stand by my claims.</description>

		<description>Well said Adrian.

I hope I&#039;m one of the targets of your disdain Paul - I&#039;d take it as a sign I&#039;m doing &lt;i&gt;something&lt;/i&gt; right. Your contributions here are marginally coherent at best, and when I do understand what you&#039;re trying to say it usually turns out to be antagonistic to your hosts or another commenter.

Not worth the trouble, and in the above case grossly offensive. Whatever her faults, it&#039;s plain that Rebekka cares a great deal about others, while you casually insult people merely for finding something interesting which you do not. Tell me, who is the self-centred one?</description>
