CULMINATION OF ALL HUMANS v TAYLOR, D.
Margo Kingston’s Webdiary has missed Robert Bosler’s excellent contributions; he’s been mostly silent ever since Mark Latham’s panco attack. Recently Andrew Stretton (“I am an introverted thinker, intensely focused, with a deeply passionate desire to ‘open up’ the societal mind to fresh perspectivesâ€?) has stepped forward to fill the crucial Bosler role; indeed, the role of all humankind:
I am the culmination of all those who have been before. I carry within me their experience, their knowledge. I have inherited tiredness from their battle and a quiet desperation deep inside, one that taunts me with the possibility that all they achieved was a deferral, a ‘putting off’ for another day, that which we will ignorantly stumble towards.
Andrew’s post drew a reponse from Darlene Taylor, which has apparently led to a complaint by Stretton to the ... Sex Discrimination Commissioner!
Developments are awaited.

*sigh* OK
Darwin was wrong…

Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 02 21 at 11:33 PM • permalinkIn the comments to Stretton’s original post, Margo herself states:
Afterall, Kerry Packer is personally one of the three most prolific and successful defamation litigants in Australian history. He and his lieutenants sue their critics.
So only webdiary contributors can attempt to silence their critics through threats of litigation.
“Alot of colleges now have “gender equity coordinatorsâ€? on staff now.”
For colleges, this is true. So far the US has no government-backed committees like this that I know of. The various EEOC committees can’t match what our colleges have. Private colleges are the worse.
I’ve worked, for many years, on a college campus and have seen various incarnations of these committees. They are usually called some fancy name that changes every few years.
The campus I was on not only had a committee, but had as its head someone who reported directly to the board of directors. (They bypassed all existing political alliances on campus this way.)
They would send out a booklet each year to faculty, staff, and students reminding all that if we felt ‘uncomfortable’ by anything anyone said, did, or by some passing glance we could report that person to the committee. If we felt too ‘uncomfortable’ reporting to the committee, we could make an appointment with the committee’s head (one who reported to the board of directors).
Creates a very chilling atmosphere, especially when ‘feel uncomfortable’ is so loose ended. PLUS you are guilty until proven innocent. Theoretically, someone could object to the way you look at them, ‘feel uncomfortable’, and report you.
The good news is that there is a backlash on many campuses against these sorts of committees. The committee on our campus had to resort to surveys, with very loaded questions that most ignored, because their usefulness was being questioned.
Apparently they hadn’t had a great amount of business to justify the expense of this committee. So, they whipped together a survey to prove that although people weren’t speaking up, there were still problems that needed their attention.
They are still there and still a threat, but the attitude on campus is changing and they are considered something of a joke.

I’m always a-frettin’,
‘Cos I’m not gettin’,
No sorta debt in.There’s no-one smarter’n me,
Y’all got the brains of a pea,
‘Cos you all watch too much teevee,
Should be readin’ the Herald Harpy.Maybe I should move to Spain,
Where they’ll love my giant brain,
Or maybe become a citizen Dane,
You Aussies think I’m an arsebound pain.As for that bloody Darlene Taylor,
I’ll get the HREOC to nail her,
Or if that turns out to be a failure,
I’ll go up the ‘Cross and pick up a sailor.“Futility is resistant; your ass (arse) will be laminated.”
Fair dinkum, I read some pretty awful bloody prose on a daily basis for a living, but this turgid, torpid tirade takes the (tea)cake. Obviously from the Margo School of Writting [sic].
“When

See if you can match these famous writers (1-6) with their culminations (a-f). No cheating by clicking on links before playing.

AGAIN Howard has defied public opinion in the one area where majority public support is absolutely neccessary in a democracy - asking our troops to give their lives to defend Australia.
Most Australians did not want Australia to invade Iraq, and now a substantial minority of Australians wants our troops bought home as soon as possible.
St Margo, our Most Holy Defender of the Substantial Minority.
“...all they achieved was a deferral, a ‘putting off’ for another day, that which we will ignorantly stumble towards.”
ahem. English teachers arise and defend your curriculum as in olden time. This should say—
“... all they achieved was a deferral, a ‘putting off’ for another day of that towards which we will ignorantly stumble.”
geez. How can anyone be so creative, arrogant, dimwitted and incoherent all at the same time?
Taking on the culmination of all humans is one hell of a task, but someone has got to do it.
“Hey, hoe, hey, hoe, we’re taking on the culmination of all humans, hey,hoe.”

If the gentleman can demonstrate discriminatory remarks surely Margo and the SMH would also be liable.
I quote from an australian lawyer on the web referring to Thompson v Australian Capital Television.
“The question of innocent dissemination will be a question of fact in each case and any party seeking to rely upon this defence will realistically need to establish that it had no knowledge of even the possibility of any defamatory content.” surely Margo and the SMH can’t claim innocent dissemination. Or if they could how soon did they remove the offending remarks.
This is fun. Other than I don’t understand what it is about.Hanyu #23: An excellent quiz!

You could have been sharing it with me, sharing it baby. You could have been sharing it all with me!You bitch.Now listen to me, baby….”Out, Out, damned culmination!
Best part of this thread- Hanyu’s Quiz of Culimation (1-d, 2-f, 3-a, 4-e, 5-b, 6-c, on quick guesses)
Worst part of this thread- That the Culmination of Salim has wandered off to Darlene’s blog to troll there since he’s been soundly banned here. Never before has a 13 year old boy desperate for attention and pretending to be his own extended family looked so small and furiously impotent. And that is saying a lot.
Look, I don’t know how you guys do it down under, but culminating is a very intimate thing that I’m just not going to share with a lot of strangers. Not even on the internet.
Sorry Sortelli, but I’ve already culminated over your comments.
Hey, it happens to the best of us.

You have a Sex Discrimination Commissioner?? Gosh, that’s just—(boggle)
I have no words, really. It certainly puts certain American tv dramas of the 70s featuring crime-fighting police commissioners in a whole new light.
