    You, FMF, Kewpie and Handy Andy, the general forum establishment and enemies of the people. So why are you revolting?
    I am honoured to be chosen as part of the elite group of RHP posters who don't use babytalk or trashtalk.

    I doubt there'll be a revolution here, though - too many of the other kind around here.

    Wrong again.

    It won't be you and the others in this elitist list leading the revolt, it'll be that "other kind" you and the others continually denigrate. All revolts are against the "elite".

    The only posters I've seen Kewpie criticize recently were robbie carrobie and Seitse. Was she wrong to speak out? Do you think she denigrated them?

    To denigrate is to belittle or criticize unfairly.

    Which posters have I belittled or criticized unfairly?

    Great lets talk about the genocide of aboriginal Australians and try to determine if you should carry any societal moral responsibility. For while you were not directly responsible as far as I am aware, you are the recipient of land seized and its indigenous inhabitants systematically killed, poisoned, forcibly removed and their culture destroyed. That sober enough for you? 😲

    Yes, we should and we do carry the moral responsibility for the attempted genocide of aboriginal Australians, and we do what we can to repair the damage caused long ago by the invasion from the British Isles. For me it's an indirect responsibility though, my family arrived in this country from other places and I have not a single drop of British blood. Should all people of British ancestry also share our collective responsibility, do you think?

    Attempted genocide? Come now tweetie pie in what sense was the genocide merely attempted? Lets not kid ourselves what happened to the aboriginal Australians fits every description and definition of a genocide. Long ago? it wasn't that long ago mate! Well within two generations!

    I am not entirely sure whether you should or do carry a retrospective moral responsibility to be honest, its not entirely clear in my mind and the elements are very complicated so that I cannot see it clearly. Some might conclude that its a stupid question but I don't think it is. Whether all those of British or other ancestry who are the direct recipients of land seized by dispossessing indigenous people and whether they should carry some kind of retrospective moral responsibility is very difficult to answer, at least for me. Certainly those who perpetrated the atrocities are morally responsible but beyond that, I dunno.

    Maybe you can help me understand?

    Can you give one single example in the history of RHP where Kewpie has "denigrated" another poster? No you can't, not one. She is a principled, stoic and upstanding member of this community.

    You would possibly benefit from spending 20 minutes of quiet contemplation and reviewing your own posting history.

    Looks like I'll see you at St. Alphonso's Pancake Breakfast.
