    I am delighted that he is almost certainly no longer a political force (not that he ever was really).
    Hey Rich, not a political issue for me - just a judgement on character.

    I'm with you on that one. I have mixed feelings about the jury award
    to Jordan Williams - it is so high as to have a chilling effect on
    newspaper opinions, but we will have to see whether the amount gets
    reviewed anyway.

    I'm with you on that one. I have mixed feelings about the jury award
    to Jordan Williams - it is so high as to have a chilling effect on
    newspaper opinions, but we will have to see whether the amount gets
    reviewed anyway.

    I don't see how the award to Williams has any chilling effect at all.
    It should emphasise the need for public utterances of political
    leaders to be confined to political debate rather than personal
    character assassination.

    Craig still has an appeal process to use, but as things stand he has
    been found to have libeled Williams.

    I don't see how the award to Williams has any chilling effect at all.

    It is apparently the highest award for any case of this nature. Craig
    is clearly in the wrong, but I cannot see that the reputation of
    Jordan Williams has been significantly damaged. It raises the bar for journalists passing on information that they have been given in good
    faith - and we already know that newspapers must be very risk averse.
    Still I suppose it also raises the potential for damages for the type

    Don't say "we" when you make shit up, Dickbot. It's bad enough when you self-ascribe your made-up crap, but attributing it to others is inexcusable.


    Still I suppose it also raises the potential for damages for the type

    And poor Dickbot compulsively jerks the thread to an anti-Nats rant. Can't help
    itself.

    Either way it explains why he had to take so much care to ensure that

    Williams has shown how much money can be made from unsupportable

    What are you on about? Hagers book did not mention 47% of the
    population, let alone say anything that anyone could dispute in court
    - or some individual would have seen fit to claim damages . . .

    No obviously it was you who mentioned "rabid right" - or did you just slip into
    the Dickbot account after another operator posted that?

    Or are you just having a little bipolar/schizophrenic episode and you can't even remember/read what you just posted?

There is no 'rabid right' in this countries political environment and using that sort of deliberate exaggeration will always attract condemnation and what you see as a personal attack.

    from the comments by posters and commentators with a wide range of
    political views, many do regard Colin Craig as part of the "rabid
    right", Tony. You may prefer other descriptions, , but really it is nt
    much different from the so-called "loony-left" although you may want

    in my view and many that have watched his antics.
    I am not in denial, people like Cameron Slater and John Minto are a waste of bandwidth and of very different poilitical views but they are the tiniest of minorities and hardly worth a thought.
    A review of the word rabid would assist your comprehension - it essentially describes a fanatic. It suits you very well!
    As for right, this country is currently governed by a centrist political party and so was the last Labour government. Both are fairly centrist. I know you disagree but you have only ever provided opinion in defence of your view of that, no real research or proof.

    Until JohnO stupidly tried to imply that I was referring to 47% of
    voters, the thread has been about a very tiny minority - 3 main
    characters in the Colin Craig case, less than a dozen in Dirty
    Politics which in contrast did not lead to legal action for defamation
    or libel.

    A review of the word rabid would assist your comprehension - it essentially >describes a fanatic. It suits you very well!

    Thqt is of course your unsubstantiated and largely unsupported
    personal opinion, and irrelevant to the thread. Do you disagree with
    the word "rabid" in relation to either Colin Craig or Cameron Slater?
    As for right, this country is currently governed by a centrist
    political party
    and so was the last Labour government. Both are fairly centrist. I know you >disagree but you have only ever provided opinion in defence of your view of >that, no real research or proof.
    Tony
    That is again of course your unsubstantiated and larely unsupported
    personal opinion, and again irrelevant to the thread. In my referring
    to the rabid right, the context was the revelations of "Dirty
    Politics"- a very small section of the National Party, let alone the
    whole government.

    The definition of rabid is not an opinion. I have already said that I believe there is no such thing as a "rabid right" in this country. Don't change the subject.
    As for right, this country is currently governed by a centrist

    Tony
    The normal expression is "Right-thinking", Tony, which is in one sense
    slightly relevant to the thread - it was typical right-thinking
    arrogance and sense of entitlement that led to the fall of Colin Craig
    - as for many other politicians before him. But in the sense you meant
    it as a personal attack in lieu of reasoned argument, your descent
    into personal abuse to avoid the reality that you have provided no
    proof or evidence supporting your assertion that the current
    government is "centrist".

    I am not in denial, people like Cameron Slater and John Minto are a waste of
    bandwidth and of very different poilitical views but they are the tiniest of
    minorities and hardly worth a thought.

    Until JohnO stupidly tried to imply that I was referring to 47% of
    voters, the thread has been about a very tiny minority - 3 main
    characters in the Colin Craig case, less than a dozen in Dirty
    Politics which in contrast did not lead to legal action for defamation
    or libel.
    You turned it political, so you should expect others to respond.
    It may have escaped your notice that Colin Craig was the leader of a political party that got more votes than ACT - not many more and he
    would have had 4 or 5 MPs. The reason for the actions by another
    political party to attack Craig was totally political. I have not

    A review of the word rabid would assist your comprehension - it essentially
    describes a fanatic. It suits you very well!

    That is of course your unsubstantiated and largely unsupported
    personal opinion, and irrelevant to the thread. Do you disagree with
    the word "rabid" in relation to either Colin Craig or Cameron Slater?
    The definition of rabid is not an opinion. I have already said that I believe
    there is no such thing as a "rabid right" in this country. Don't change the >> subject.
    I do not dispute the definition of rabid. I dispute that the word is applicable to me. Do you agree that it is reasonably relevant to Colin
    Craig and Cameron Slater?


    Less relevant to Craig and Slater than to you Rich. Slater for one
    doesn't rabidly defend National to the level you blindly support Labour.
    In fact I'd suggest they don't come even close to being as rabid as you.
    I'd go so far as to stop calling you a loopy lefty in favour of rabidly
    red...

    As for right, this country is currently governed by a centrist
    political party
    and so was the last Labour government. Both are fairly centrist. I know you
    disagree but you have only ever provided opinion in defence of your view of
    that, no real research or proof.
    Tony
    That is again of course your unsubstantiated and larely unsupported
    personal opinion, and again irrelevant to the thread. In my referring
    to the rabid right, the context was the revelations of "Dirty
    Politics"- a very small section of the National Party, let alone the
    whole government.
    Not at all unsupported by thinking people - again you are changing the subject.
    Be reminded that you turned a non-political thread into a bit of trash.

    Tony
    The normal expression is "Right-thinking", Tony, which is in one sense slightly relevant to the thread - it was typical right-thinking
    arrogance and sense of entitlement that led to the fall of Colin Craig
    - as for many other politicians before him. But in the sense you meant
    it as a personal attack in lieu of reasoned argument, your descent
    into personal abuse to avoid the reality that you have provided no
    proof or evidence supporting your assertion that the current
    government is "centrist".


    Right thinking has nothing to do with politics unless we talk about
    those who rabidly support the Labour party to the exclusion of all it's non-democratic and sexist practices like you Rich.

    Why is rich defending Colon?
    You don't imagine that they could be one and the same ?
    It would appear that he will be facing the same evidence as has already

    maligned

    Nah. Colon's brighter than Rich by a country miles. Hell my cats

    Many years ago I used to buy Mad, Cracked, Sick, Punch and any other
    such satirical magazine.
    Nowadays we have Colon a much stranger turn.
    Cheaper too

    You are not the only person to find him strange:

    LOL Dickbot so desperate for friends he posts the dribblings of some obscure
    Corbyn fan!

    Go on Dickbot - say "time for a change" again. You've been saying it since
    2008 and it seems to be working as well now as it did then.

    Dickbots also found another left wing supporter of his rabid red ideas:)

    Hagar (the Horrible) is a cartoon character.

    Poor old Dickbot thinks 47% of voters are "rabid right". No wonder the mob
    he's associated with can't get any where near government - and thank goodness for that!
    What are you on about? Hagers book did not mention 47% of the
    population, let alone say anything that anyone could dispute in court
    - or some individual would have seen fit to claim damages . . .

    No obviously it was you who mentioned "rabid right" - or did you just slip into the Dickbot account after another operator posted that?

    Now you are being insulting by implying I said something that I did
    not. Those named in the book do not make up 47% of voters - if you are descending to Pooh levels of nastiness you cannot expect to be taken seriously JohnO.

    Rich is off again displaying his normal lack of comprehension. Funny how
    in your book stating the truth about your actions is construed by you as 'nastiness'. So typical of those in the cesspit of the left who consider insulting people scores more points than answering pertinent questions.
    But then it's also pretty typical of your average troll to.



    Or are you just having a little bipolar/schizophrenic episode and you can't even remember/read what you just posted?
    There you go again - a Pooh-like personal attack when incapable or
    unwilling to undertake rational discussion.


    If the truth about your actions is that disturbing Rich. I'd suggest
    quit the lies, avoidance and lack of comprehension and address questions
    and the issues instead of just blindly parroting the lies coming from
    little Andy's office.



    Truth is a powerful defence against those that seek to hide their
    wrongdoing, JohnO

    Indeed. I wonder how nervous Angry little Andy is about his upcoming court date with the Hagermans?
    And a Pooh-like attempt to distract from the subject when you do not
    want to address the subject of the thread.


    Yet again Rich avoids an issue with loss of a court case because it's
    his glorious misleader about to bite the dust for actions that were as
    bad as Colin Craigs.

    MWAHAHAHA Richie's belief in the purity of the left shines through yet
    again. Open your eyes Rich. The reason you can't detect any 'dirty
    politics' from the left is because theirs is filthy. Just like Hagar the activists.

    Hagar jumped to preconceived beliefs in his book ignoring the filth in
    the left and his own book Rich. Remember Rich you're the one denying
    anything dirty about the left and Hagar's politics like the good widdle trolling twit you are.
