It is not often that a Deputy Opposition Leader’s name appears on a scurrilous T shirt with the defamatory implication that she is allegedly free with her sexual favours.
No mention of any Willies on the bio or in newspaper records.
It won’t be the first time we’ve seen surnames of people which resemble those of the famous. No doubt if you have a famous monicker it doesn’t harm you when looking for a job.
Here’s his website if you really want to read it. He declares
Polliter.com was created not out of need, but necessity. It is the lone voice of free Conservative speech left to Australians.
Yeah yeah yeah…
Tim Wilson on steroids.
Willy dislikes lots of things – the SMH, conservative News Corpse columnist Peter van Onselen, Fairfax journalist Elizabeth Farrelly, the ABC, asylum seekers and the Facebook page Destroy the Joint – by extension feminists women who have and express an opinion in general.
Strangely enough when we visited Polliter only the main page was visible. The links led nowhere.
Something like Willy himself.

Looks like the pages have been down for some time
All else we managed to find was a link to this article in Quadrant, the musty old mag edited by very conservative historian Keith Windschuttle, which serves as a sort of home for the bewildered for very conservative old white blokes.
The Quadrant contributors in animated discussion
Destroy the Joint managed to dig up a brief bit of Willy’s self-puffery which reads
Brooks is an independent consultant in hospital management, healthcare reform and clinical care. He worked extensively with Professor Chris O’Brien on developing the world’s first comprehensive cancer data repository, and has advised State and Federal governments on improving public healthcare systems and increasing accountability in medicine.
Let me guess – a minor pen-pusher in the Department of Health (one of them) applying some helium to his resumé. If that.
Professor Marcia Langton made a couple of telling points on Monday night’s Q&A
MARCIA LANGTON: Well, I find it very difficult to agree with your Government’s proposition on this matter, Senator Brandis. One only has to look at, say, the code of behaviour with the NRL or the AFL and, you know, with – if you have your way and you repeal section 18C, the place where people of colour, like myself and unfortunately this is never going to be the case, will feel safe from racial abuse is on an AFL team or in the NRL and everywhere else in society, where there are not such codes of behaviour we’ll be targets. And it’s not true that this, in my opinion, that the simple argument about freedom of speech applies in this case because there is also, I believe, a right of people like myself to feel free from racial discrimination and especially from racial vilification in public speech and publication.
That is nothing new for us since just about every anti-intolerance activist has been labelled and defamed as paedophiles since Facebook began. Some of them notoriously so.
It seems the enemy, lacking any factual or moral underpinning for its garbage, can only resort to the criminality which comes so naturally to it.
However the person in question is a blogger who happens to support the Australian Labor Party and the Prime Minister Julia Gillard. Just like about 50% of the Australian voting-age population going by the results of the last Federal election.
He has never actually confronted the enemy nor has he written about them. Yet.
Now note the only comment showing.
Here’s the brave person making the comment hiding behind a fake profile.
Yet another numbingly boring robotic troll created to make the scumsites look like they have more interest than they actually have. There must be a Dalek factory somewhere producing them.
This one seems to be American. We hope for its sake that it has deep pockets.
And just take a look at who has “liked” the comment.
“John Jones” is a fake. But Scott Pengelly, of Melton in Melbourne’s outer suburbs, is not. Moreover he is allegedly employed in a child care centre!
Charming!
Maybe it’s time to remind it that in Australia we have defamation laws and a large amount of precedent-setting case law and its foreign origin does not protect either it or Facebook from litigation. Check out Gutnick V Dow Jones [2001] if you don’t believe us.
In fact scummies you are all on the wrong track. An association between child sex offences and far right political views, beliefs and culture is emerging in the literature.
If we do not deny the offences, then we refuse to recognize the victims. If we do not deny that there are victims, then we refuse to recognize their suffering. The reasons for this state of affairs are complex and arise from a combination of entrenched patriarchal values, child (and woman) hatred disguised as pseudo-science …(Rush, 1980; Masson,1985).
It is well recognised that commonly held views about masculinity, sexuality and power are used by offenders to legitimise child abuse. In some circumstances, the abuse of children and women can become a means of male bonding.
So perhaps scummies you should all look in the mirror before you continue to defame decent hard-working progressive Australian men.
More threats As some of you may know I have been censoring the posts of a serial pest who makes anti-Muslim and racist comments and has in the past threatened me. He has posted again saying that the next time he is in my area – he names my street – he’ll ‘drop in to say g’day’. Clearly this is an attempt to further intimidate me. If anything happens to me or my family here are his details to provide to police. jack 58.96.105.106 He has a druid name email at txc.
We know these tactics only too well.
To help him out, we’ve given him an approximate location for his stalker. It’s a nice little town just south of Adelaide. A pity that the swamp dwellers have reached there.
IP Address: 58.96.105.106 ISP: Exetel Region: Strathalbyn (AU)
And we have actually passed these details on to the blogger so he can contact SA Police. They may help make life uncomfortable for his stalker.
So on with the (freak) show
Preamble for the failures
We’ll keep it simple for racists and bigots. We know they are not too bright. In fact they are so dumb they think that the First Amendment of the US Constitution is the law of the land in Australia.
Hate to tell them this – it is not. So when they see hate groups in the US like the Westboro Baptist Church spouting bigotry and try and do so here they are potentially liable for legal action.
You see the First Amendment was written around 1776 by a bunch of well-off white farmers and lawyers in the American colonies who were (rightfully) pissed off that they were not allowed to have a free press which could criticise the government, unlike the colonial power itself, England.
That’s all. It is not the 11th Commandment brought down from cardboard Hollywood Sinai by Charlton Heston Moses. In fact it has probably been challenged in the courts more than any other provisions of the US Bill of Rights, simply because as long as you put up such a seemingly admirable law, you are going to have nutjobs, cranks and loathsome haters who will abuse it.
“This is the First Amendment – I think. Either that or I picked up Jesus’s shopping list by mistake.”
10 ways to be bigger failures than you already are
Make a defamatory Facebook group or groups targeting someone you think is running an anti-racist group. It doesn’t matter if you are wrong, in your universe the far right is never wrong. After all in their cargo cult Pauline Hanson and John Howard are going to return bringing Centrelink payments and a gas-guzzling SUV for all.
“We don’t like it”
And remember no matter how big the anti-racist group is only one person runs it even if the group profile shows a dozen or more admins. They “must” be all fake profiles.
When you are not copy-pasting boring hate-filled shite make screenshots of posts at the anti-racist group followed by nasty comments about the poster’s gender, age, appearance and sexuality. And remember they are all Muslims. It doesn’t matter that they mostly are not. So while all the real Muslims are working out in the community keeping the economy ticking over you can keep hardened up from your bedroom at Mum’s or the cheap caravan in some one horse town by insulting and vilifying the false Muslims.
You are all Muslim woman (sic)
Steal some photos, preferably from young women. Have a particular gloat over the ones where someone’s partner is featured, particularly if the partner is either of a different ethnic group or is same-sex. Comment negatively on the victim or their partner’s age, height, weight or fuckability, notwithstanding the last time you had a root would be when you managed to save up enough to give a bad time to the local sex workers. They ended up charging you extra woody time, a boredom allowance and they complained to Fair Work Australia.
Bonus bogot points for pics of parents or grandparents. Especially if they have recently died or are terminally ill.
Because every anti-racist must be Muslim, grab some random pics of people who are Muslim or who “look Muslim”. Doesn’t matter if they are or not – facts don’t matter in Bogotopia. It’s all about feelings. And bogot psychotic episodes feelings are always paramount right?
Remember the Aboriginals are very dangerous, mainly because they were here first and they often don’t look like you. So spend a lot of online adrenalin pointing out all the things they have that you don’t … like…ah…adequate housing, proper medical services, adequate educational facilities, decent jobs? Also remind them that the Apology has nothing to do with you because you weren’t born when blah blah blah….
Make up some lame humourless memes using pictures of Aboriginal elders disrespectfully or pictures of people sitting in town camps (remember Aboriginal people are always old, all live in rural or remote areas, all live in town camps and they are always sitting around) pointing out their supposed drinking, substance abuse, violence etc – never mind that Aboriginal people actually have lower levels of drinking on the whole than do other groups.
And we are still waiting for the first child abuse prosecution under the Intervention.
In your crazed crusade against innocent Australian Muslims don’t forget to post hundreds of false rumours, conspiracy theories, xenophobic rants, pseudo-histories and Photoshopped pictures of bloody and dismembered corpses, preferably sourced from disreputable foreign websites which are tarted up by their resident web-person to look like “respectable” news sites. Add to that deliberate misinterpretations of actual file pictures and the dreaded Photoshams (the notorious Palestinian “child brides” who are not child brides and the woman supposedly beheaded while buried in sand being favourites). Don’t be perturbed when someone points out the sinister resemblance between your activities and the scurrilous hate propaganda disseminated for centuries against the Jews.
Ignore all references to factual information on scam-busters by Hoaxslayer, snopes.com, Loonwatch and in Sandi Logan’s letter to the media regarding asylum seeker entitlements. In Bogotopia facts do not exist.
Because even your tiny minds dimly comprehend that notwithstanding (3) there are no facts which will justify your hatred and xenophobia, troll anti-racists sites with your rubbish and post in CAPITAL LETTERS with lots of swear words. This is supposed to scare people and makes up for a complete inability to provide debating points.
When all else fails threaten anti-racists with lawyers and “suites” (or was that lawyers in suits), forgetting that firstly
IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO BE AN ANTI-RACIST/ ANTI-BIGOT
and secondly it is entirely likely that at least some of the anti-racists you target might actually know lots of stuff including the law.
And by that we don’t mean “being known to police” – which is definitely the case with the racist bogots.
Though we could actually do with some new lounge or dining room suites. ASIOMossad the CIA don’t pay us too well since the GFC.
According to the film, The Social Network, Mark Zuckerberg conceived and founded Facebook largely as a result of being rejected by his girlfriend at the time.
So perhaps we must ask ourselves whether Facebook is merely a gigantic pervasive adolescent frat-boy fantasy theme park based on the need for acceptance and the need for the socially anxious to hang with the cool people and become awesome (and score women of course)
Adolescents are in the process of becoming adults. As part of that process they exhibit a number of characteristics, many of which are irritating to the real adults in their lives.
unrealistic expectations
pre-occupation with self – everyone is like me
preoccupation with image
overwhelming desire for acceptance
black and white thinking
impulsivity
However in the real world, in order to survive, adolescents need to grow up.
Unrealistic expectations
We are told that Facebook has a physical workforce at its US headquarters of around 4000 people. This is supposed to ensure the smooth running of an organisation which has a customer base estimated at one billion
Some four billion pieces of content are shared every day by 845 million users. And while most are harmless, it has recently come to light that the site is brimming with paedophilia, pornography, racism and violence – all moderated by outsourced, poorly vetted workers in third world countries paid just $1 an hour. (Daily Telegraph UK)
However this kind of “moderation” is full of pitfalls and is open to abuse as pointed out by activist Segway Jeremy Ryan who got his account compromised while campaigning against the Governor of Wisconsin’s planned budget cuts.
Trolls are now having activists removed by filing fake Facebook complaints. That is right, people are suppressing information in Wisconsin by actively reporting people they deem to be a threat on Facebook. I myself have been reported and banned for one to three days for simply posting “Good job” or “The majority of Wisconsin doesn’t like Scott Walker.” People have been reported on pages for saying nothing more than my name and have been reprimanded by Facebook. The strategy is simple and Facebook lets it continue. If someone reports something as abusive to Facebook they don’t actually look at it, they just remove it and warn the person who posted it. If you get enough you are not able to dispute them at all, and with no admin contacts and no one at Facebook actually looking at the posts reported as “abusive,” the person gets blocked.
Pre-occupation with self – everyone is like me
Mark Zuckerberg, it is said, wants the world to be an open place where everyone is transparent (except for the Facebook business model but that’s another story) So much so it seems that Facebook managed to upset no less a person than acclaimed Nobel Prize-winning British author Salman Rushdie.
So while racists, bigoted, anti-woman Facebook hate sites abound, if you dare show a picture of a happy nursing mum and her baby you are likely to get a bot warning from oDesk.
Or as one wit put it “Jew-haters are welcome on Facebook as long as they are not lactating”.
Your warning would look like this:
And if you are really really lucky you might get one of these, complete with either space tags or misplaced end tags, just to underline and emphasise its innate stupidity.
The Gold Medal for Facebook Stupidity is an e mail like this one below. And again note the tags.
The item in question was actually this. We remember it well, it was posted at TAB Facebook page and mass reported despite being neither obscene nor featuring real people.
Then again the racists didn’t like it…
Apparently Zuckerberg and the kiddies came up with this “solution” for the problem of undesirable content on Facebook.
Well hey we could really see how that one would work…
Err Mark, which planet are you on again?
Sorry Mark, from our point of view most anti-discrimination activists are way past the age of having teachers and some of us don’t even have parents. It might work if our “trusted friend” was this err…person.
The “trusted friend” we’d like to have
Desire for acceptance
Facebook goes out of its way to be accepted as THE universal social network platform. Its whole business bottom line is based on that premise. The more fools click on the ads and sign up for the data miners, the more money Facebook makes.
In doing so it hosts a variety of fringe wackos who’d be hard pressed writing their own names in the real world.
On Facebook, you do not need the rudimentary web skills you require to run a message board for instance. So that’s why racists, bigots and other semi-literate hate mongers have flocked there in droves rather than gathering at other longer-established hate sites like Scumfront or Winds of Jihad, where they can mix exclusively with others of their kind.
And this is why.
Not only does Facebook give them a laughably easy platform to use, it also lets them share a space with the mainstream. It is rather analogous to the local crack dealer setting up a store on the village green, rather than hiding away in a dark alley.
Hello kiddies. Welcome to Freakbook. We want you to make us very happy…(League of Gentlemen)
So when the kids get onto Facebook to interact with their real-life friends, there’s a whole bunch of Fuck Off We’re Full-type sites just waiting to groom them and entice them in. Something which did not escape this critic from an atheist site.
As far as Facebook pages and groups go, we use the living-room test at TAB for sites. Would you allow the people on site XYZ into your living room? If the answer is NO then we shouldn’t have to endure their intrusion into our space. In real life we do not choose to, nor do we have to associate with, racists, bigots and the like. And we can ensure our kids are kept away from haters.
Of course Zuckerberg apologises. In fact he does so often. Perhaps a little too often for someone who is trying to float a public company. Maybe that’s why savvy share buyers have stayed away in droves – that and everything else we have outlined.
In fact Better Business Bureau gave Facebook an “F” rating with the following comment
Our opinion of what this rating means:
We strongly question the company’s reliability for reasons such as that they have failed to respond to complaints, their advertising is grossly misleading, they are not in compliance with the law’s licensing or registration requirements, their complaints contain especially serious allegations, or the company’s industry is known for its fraudulent business practices.
Impulsivity
One day Zuckerberg must have awoken with a brilliant thought bubble. Why not allow users themselves to police the Facebook site? That way he wouldn’t be forking out hundreds of thousands to pay a bunch of nerds to moderate content.
This sounds nice and cosy at first, not to mention cheap as chips, until you take a look at the calibre of some of the Facebook users. You don’t have to go very far to do that.
Just check out the names on our very own tag cloud.
From Wikipedia:
Enabling of Harassment
Facebook instituted a policy by which it is now self-policed by the community of Facebook users. Some users have complained that this policy allows Facebook to empower abusive users to harass them by allowing them to submit reports on even benign comments and photos as being “offensive” or “in violation of Facebook Rights and Responsibilities” and that enough of these reports result in the user who is being harassed in this way getting their account blocked for a predetermined number of days or weeks, or even deactivated entirely…In addition, Facebook does not ban the IPs of users who have proven to create multiple accounts for the purposes of trolling or stalking others, thereby enabling the harasser, even if they do have one of the offending accounts deactivated, to simply create another one and continue the harassment with no lasting consequences
Take a look at what happened recently to one of our sister sites, a group which exposes racism directed at Indigenous Australians.
And it gets better. After being criticised by our own AFP’s cyber crime unit Facebook responded thus:
Facebook is a service devoted to helping people share and making the world more open and connected.
As such, we often must balance the need for freedom of expression and the even greater need of preventing any harm to the people who use our service.
To achieve this balance, when we write our policies, we must exclude offensiveness when determining which pages are harmful.
So it seems thanks to Facebook we now have a new definition of “offensiveness”. “Offensiveness” according to Facebook are violations of areas which most of the civilised world has long decided are no-go areas.
Facebook regards the following as mere “offensiveness” it seems – racism, religious bigotry, particularly directed at Muslims and Jews ( including Holocaust denial and Protocol-style vilifying myths about Muslims), but also at Indigenous Australians, misogyny, homophobia, bullying, intimidation, defamation, identity theft and the propagation of violent political ideologies such as neo-Nazism.
And speaking of names, this is what Facebook’s apologist Simon Axten thinks of activists who wish to conceal their identities.
And when asked to respond to a request for assistance from no less an agency than the WA Human Rights Commission, this was his glib reply.
In Australia for anti-racists and other social justice activists, having to reveal your identity can mean harassment, intimidation and violence from your enemies.In many other countries it can mean imprisonment, torture and death. But this obviously doesn’t bother Simon.
And his photo. Watch for him in the better Sydney eateries.
Here’s William Easton. No doubt the identity thieves at Facebook will be grabbing this.
Unlike what is demanded of Facebook members, William is a tad shy about revealing his contact details so that we can send our complaints to him. So we might help him out with a Facebook-style fatwa he can use. It’s a lot more honest than the one Facebook is using at the moment.
BONUS No tedious <br><br>
Feel free to post it to your own profile, use it on your blogs and annoy Facebook with it.
From the comfortable, well-paid and powerful position he holds in the Federal Parliament, Senator George Brandis, Coalition Shadow Attorney-General, Senior Counsel (SC) and long-serving Parliamentarian intoned:
“Offensive and insulting words are part of the robust democratic process which is essential to a free country.”
Now we know that Parliament is a tough and robust environment in Australia. We know that both sides attack each other with vigour in the Parliament and expect the other side to respond in kind. That’s why both Houses have presiding officers and Standing Orders to ensure that debate does not descend into defamation. We expect our Parliamentarians to both strongly represent us and to be thick-skinned enough to withstand a fair amount of invective, often confected.
However the situation enjoyed by the privileged men and women who sit in Parliament does not represent the situation faced by vilified minorities out in the community, who have neither the platform to speak out from nor the public reach of their vilifiers.
Hence, up until the Bolt case provided a (temporary) pause, shock jocks, trash media and tabloid TV have been able to create an environment where it seems any idiot can get into the comments section of newspapers, onto talkback radio and into social media and parade their hatred and freely defame Indigenous people, ethnic and religious minorities, refugees and asylum seekers, as well as GLBTI people and women.
Perhaps as George Brandis enjoys his comfortable office, his generous salary and working conditions, his ability to have his views readily heard and published and his community respect and prestige he may like to ponder the following – just a small sample from our files:
At the beginning of last century there was a fashion for lurid Gothic novels usually featuring an innocent young girl ensnared by the hypnotic powers of a charismatic and diabolical mentor. The practice of hypnotism was in its infancy and the ability to apparently control minds was regarded with awe.
The most famous of these was George du Maurier’s Svengali. It was filmed several times, the most famous version being in 1931.
Early Trilby
Let us introduce Trilby Steinberger who seems to have managed to incorporate delusions and diabolical behaviour into her repertoire without the need for any assistance from a charismatic mesmerist. Unless of course you think it is Luke Jenkins.
There’s Trilby at the local watering hole with friends. We have edited the friends out of the shot.
Now how do we know about this Trilby? Seems her Facebook friends are quite happy to let us know about her.
We’ll let Trilby’s odd self-description pass for now. If she wants to characterise herself as a murderous purple Dalek then she can do so.
And Trilby’s good friend Daniel typically follows his heads-up with a gratuitous swipe at Indigenous people.
On yet another occasion a friend’s enthusiasm overcomes his(?) discretion. Trilby must be some woman.
And here’s another enthusiastic fan named Kevin Huggins. Great to see that such a consummate artist has such caring friends.
Here’s Trilby having an intimate tête-à-tête with Facebook bore and well-known Sydney businessman Allan Ellison “Jarrod Devan”.
So now Trilby admits she is the artist formerly known to us as Batty Burqa. In fact so enchanted is she by this fake profile she is chatting to she forgets to delete the conversation – oh well.
We figure that “Paul” refers to Paul Toohey, lately outed by one of his own as a part of “John Harris”. The arse end of the Centipede no doubt.
But wait…what is going on here? Has Arse End disappointed Trills in some way? Has the whole Centipede slithered away?
And the implication that she knows Sergio? – well Sergio loves meeting people for coffee and actually invited one of us, though we at TAB have better things to do – like watching Inglourious Basterds once again to remember how to really deal with Fascists.
Well that anti-Muslim page is one of her hate pages despite her constant denials that she is racist or bigoted. Such as this one.
No doubt Trilby is keen to be seen by people as being normal. A normal bogot that is. And note the comment by oxygen thief Andy Watts.
Of course Trills manages to contradict herself elsewhere, but we are all getting used to that.
Don’t know which “moron” Trills is referring to since she seems to be surrounded by quite a collection of them.
Though it is rather disturbing to realise that she sees green maggots overrunning her pages. With fake profiles of themselves too.
Sorry to disappoint you Trills but maggots are white – so perhaps you need to clean up your 38 members? Get rid of the white maggots?
Now Trilby and friends get down to some serious stalking.
Now we have never figured out why racists like “Julia Munnrow” would be interested in the personal details of anti-racists.
Are they going to report them to the law for being anti-racists? Nooo
Are these people going to be publicly embarrassed by being named as anti-racists? Nooo
Are these people going to be shunned by the community for being anti-racists? No, far from it.
Will “Julia Munnrow” and her kind stalk and harass them? Most likely. In fact they have done so already.
Replete with the skills obtained in her TAFE Photoshopping Photography course, Trills is happy to prominently display her very own personal gallery. In this presentation of Trilby’s artistry we have edited out photos stolen from the profiles of people who have offended the bogot community by actually disagreeing with them.
Here’s Trills and her mates workshopping the collection
Art conoisseur Jude Billman Milly Knight “Mardi Templar” gives Trills the benefit of her expertise gleaned from hanging around hate sites and making inane comments.
However Trills and her cronies are not exactly burdened with the weight of high ethical standards – the same old pics have been splashed enthusiastically around every conceivable hate group. This is just a sample.
And while resting from her efforts to promote racism and bigotry she also manages to have a swipe at people who don’t like Tony Abbott – thus showing that criticism of politicians is not allowed in her strange little world despite the constant clamour of the bogots for “freedom of speech”.
And we do not think for a moment that Tony Abbott would welcome her as a supporter. Especially when she is accompanied by armchair Brownshirt Andrew Watts.
Meanwhile, back at Stalk Central, Aaron Cross of the Ryde area is getting very excited about the Antibogans being mentioned on the neo-Nazi site known to us here as Witless Towers.
At that stage Trills, as always showing her peerless artistic taste, had assumed the profile picture of the late shoe-throwing activist Peter (surname redacted) who has recently and tragically died of cancer.
Aaron had decided to call the person he assumed was the “chief Antibogan” and by his own admission had continued to make nuisance calls to the person’s phone. Trills certainly keeps delightful company.
And Trill’s reaction? Apart from calling the victim a “fag”?
And speaking of ethics take a look at this
Posting people’s photos? What was that again about “double standards”? So it is OK in Trill’s dystopia to do one thing then to condemn others for allegedly doing the same?
There’s that obsessive sense of entitlement all these racist bigots have rearing its ugly head again.
One project obsessing this little band of bigots artists is the continual spamming of a video of someone they do not like. We are not sure what this is meant to achieve. There is no point in undertaking dumb childish revenge fantasies art works unless someone is interested in seeing them. I mean, does anyone want to watch endless repeats of TV shows which were not all that good the first time around?
And now for the crowning artistic achievement. Covered in pirated photographs triumphantly displayed by Trills, Centipede and other members of their artists’ collective, with obvious and lovingly executed works from the great artist itself comes this exquisite piece.
Note Trilby’s enthusiastic embrace of this scurrilous and defamatory group.
And here is the most bizarre aspect of the lot.
As an additional titillation for her 38 white maggots, and obviously seeking to recruit more fans, Trills managed to create by her own admission a defamatory dating profile of the targeted male anti-racist as revenge for a defamatory dating profile created by a female acquaintance of hers in 2008 who is completely unrelated to any of the events outlined here.
Confused? Yes, we are too. A search of the DSM IV failed to find a particular psychiatric disorder which applied here.
But in case Trills is having second thoughts this has been reported to the police, to our entourage of public interest lawyers who work for us pro bono and the website owner has been informed of his obligations under the US Communications Decency Act (1996).
It’s been a little over a year now since we presented you with this post. Not many more ironic things than a bunch of bush lawyers trying to censor our freedom of speech in the name of protecting their own freedom of speech. You know, it’s really funny watching these idiots spew their hatred all across the public forums. They honestly think they’re not hurting anyone. To be honest, we love knowing that they feel very hurt and offended knowing that we are criticising their words – God forbid!
These people are lunatics, and they simply cannot defend what can be found on the following pages. They won’t come here and debate the posts. All they do is stalk, intimidate, harass and assault. And for what? A better Australia?
Discrimination can never be excused. Let there be no mistake as to where morals and ethics lie. We don’t pretend to be the good guys – we do the dirty work by finding the crap and presenting it to you in digestible form, giving you the opportunity to comment without being identified, threatened or abused. But without the harmful, thoughtless, unsubstantiated discrimination – we would not need to exist. You want this website to close down? Stop with the hate. Win win.

TAB gets stalkers, hate mail, intimidation and spammed threats by the bucketload – to be expected when you are dealing with the dregs of society.
Don’t get too excited ladies, you don’t know where those gloves have been…
We are somewhat sanguine about these threats. A nice way of saying BOOORIIIING…
TAB Admin react to latest round of threats
However a recent addition shows some features which are new and some which are all-too-drearily-familiar.
It started off routinely enough. A flirtatious flutter of the cyber lashes so to speak.
Then the excitement mounted. In fact it turns out Danny wanted a date! In beautiful downtown Warragul, the excitement centre of Gippsland!
Now in true Jekyll and Hyde fashion, having been rejected by an always-alert admin, “Danny” assumed its “real” persona and started to sulk because the person it wanted not only wasn’t there but it was being ignored. The predictable tanty follows:
Now the wooing moved to Twitter, presumably out of reach of the lidless eye of the admins. And the spurned suitor adopted a new name. Fake of course.
Now so as not to insult the legitimate owners of the surname it is using which has been hijacked in the manner we have come to expect from the enemy, we are going to refer to it as “Freaky Frankie Stalker” – FFS for short.
What’s new is that FFS is using Twitter to convey its threats to our Twitter feed. Rather uncomfortable to be faced with the equivalent of pointless junk mail every time one logs into Twitter but it seems that’s the way the enemy likes to play. Junk using junk.
What is also new is that FFS wants to target not the blog owners but the subscribers. Obviously this has been done without much thought as to the consequences, since the lawyers, journos, coppers and soldiers who are regular fans will not be too impressed.
In its eagerness to appear as a clueless desperate wanker big tough guy targeting scared unwashed leftie green socialist faggot lesbian anti-racists (jeez how do we cover so many social bases?) FFS has made a few fundamental errors.
1. Firstly it is way off beam in identifying who is who. For instance the innocent young bloke it decided to monster on his own Twitter had no involvement with TAB. In fact he had probably never heard of us.
Had. That has changed. And we have a new friend.
2. The person it persists in thinking runs TAB does not. TAB is a collective of concerned activists. But he obviously so tickles FFS’s romantic tendencies because FFS has invited him and its other target for a coffee in Warragul yet again (must be good coffee there). And FFS managed to type that with one hand on his knob – we saw the fuckstains on its Twitter. Filthy sod!
A fucktard did a-wooing go...
3. As part of its totally idiotic deranged well-thought-out intimidation strategy it has managed to clearly defame at least three people. We are quite happy to assist them in preparing their cases at minimal cost to them.
Bad mistake...good!
