My thoughts exactly. The irony of it all, of course, being that the "freedom of speech" so enamored by the lad in our "free" and "democractic" country is not, as far as I know, explicitly provided for in the Aussie Constitution. As for where he got the idea MobileRead was a democracy (and thus if he even understands what one is), well, we have been having some unseasonably warm weather...perhaps he just spent a bit too long in the sun.

I leave you with AUSSIE! AUSSIE AUSSIE! OY! OY! OY! because you'll either cringe or laugh or a little of both.

Cheers,

Don't you all worry about that. We are a very discerning lot here at MR and would never hold the words of one person (or even a group of people) against citizens of an entire country.

As far as I'm concerned, you Australians Rock!!!

Urban Dictionary

Urban Dictionary defines troll as: One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=troll

And here I thought a troll was a mythical ugly species with pointy ears and blue/green skin and a bad attitude.

OK, I didn't understand.
I thought it was a democracy - my error.
If it is privately owned, would you be good enough to explain who owns it?
I wrongly thought it was like any other community bulletin board and that it was owned by everyone.
Could you give the link to "the rules" that I have to follow?
I have not been able to find them on the site.
Thanks very much for letting me post on your private site.
I am sorry to be so troublesome - that comes from being Australian where we live and work in a free and democratic society.
I recommend it.
Perhaps you should just ban me for asking too many questions.
Uhm, NO websites are democracies. They are more or less dictatorships, with the site owners telling the users what they can do. Most of the time you get a benevolent dictatorship, but it is still a dictatorship.

Most websites are considered privately owned. You're wrong if you think otherwise. Do a little research before spouting off.

As far as the rules, well, you had to agree to them when you created your account.

As far as Australia being a free society, well, not really. They've got quite a few strict, and asinine regulations. Such as no video game or movie may be sold unless it is classified, however the highest classification for games is for 15 year olds, thus all games meant for 16, 17, 18, or older are unable to be classified and thus illegal to be sold. Then the whole knee jerk legislation effectively banning guns, and heavily restricting knives, after the Port Arthur incident. Very free indeed. Most Australians I know hate it there, and wish to move to other countries.

Nomesque, well, it is true. I've worked with a lot of people from Australia over the years (the one job, I was pretty much the only American), and so many of them hated the government, to the point they seriously consider moving to another country. The one guy, only has beef with the government, and loves the country otherwise, refuses to let people classify him as "australian", and is slowly saving up funds to move.
