A light weekend

I’m on Great Barrier Island for the weekend. As usual, blogging will be somewhere between limited and non-existent.

I’m in awe at your ability to produce more good reading in a weekend when you’re blogging lightly than many others produce in a much longer time of blogging heavily 🙂

Hmmn if I make it. My flight to Auckland has been cancelled and replacement flight may not make the connecting flight to Barrier on time. I may be stranded in Auckland for the weekend looking for a bridge 🙂

You’ll have to get the board out and paddle. Hard. 😉

You can always visit hippies in Waiheke. I hear there is a boat now so no paddling.

I believe Peter Cresswell was offering to sell you a bridge yesterday David on the Go Treasury Go thread.

What Bullion and Leg Break said! So confident are we, that we today purchased our tickets in the White Noise zone for the Wellington leg to avoid the rush on Monday morning when the result of the Bahrain leg is known – come on you All Whites!

David.
You’re getting much too familiar with GB Island.

Be very very careful…………..you may become a long haired (oops, correct that to bearded) 21st century hippie.

Anyway, have a great time – GB Island is EEXXXXCELENT.

Great Barrier Island, nice quiet place to watch Bathurst.
Remind the greenies over there about fuel economy developed from motor racing, Skodas and Simcas suck.

Pay Mr. Farrar for linking to your worthless site you sleazy scumbag. Your message is insincere and obviously a mere contrivance to give you the excuse to post your link. You are shameless lowlife. Too many such cheats and liars to be found in the Libertarians these days.

I trust Mr Farrar will issue demerit points for that unprovoked and deliberate personal attack on my good self; not only does it go ‘off topic’ and an example of trolling, but it does not add much to kiwiblog.co.nz

Its not unprovoked. Someone has to call you for the sleazy dishonest abuser of this site that you are. You can easily post messages here without using your blog address as a signature. You’re just a fake and a fraud, (apparently like so many Libertarians) and it is everybody’s responsibility to expose such behaviour.

Send Mr. Farrar a donation you sleazy huckster.

I think you should stop your trolling and get back on topic, Redbaiter …this thread is about Mr Farrar and Great Barrier Island, it is not about me.

I do rather object to being called ‘sleazy, dishonest, a fake, a fraud, a scumbag’ and the instigator of such abuse not being called to account in any way by the site owner; other sites have taken a stand against redbaiter for such behaviour, but there we are.

“I do rather object to being called ’sleazy, dishonest, a fake, a fraud, a scumbag’”

Fine. I don’t actually call you that with the objective of making you feel good.

Here’s the real point. You and other Libertarians posture as being driven by “principle” alone, and as being above the sleaze and dishonesty and cronyism that characterises other political parties, but here on Kiwiblog, by using this blog as a cheap and nasty means to draw hits to your own blog, you act with exactly those characteristics you claim to despise in other parties.

So next time you make up your little list of epithets, don’t forget to include “stinking yellow hypocrite”.

Its the most accurate of all.

Considering you were the one so afraid of me you were too scared to attend ‘Blogger’s Drinks’ in Auckland… when it comes to being “yellow” neither I, nor anyone else, can hold a candle to you, Russell Fletcher.

“Considering you were the one so afraid of me”

Of course if it was ever possible for me to attend such a meet, the reason I might choose not to is that I would rather not fraternise with anyone who behaves in such a morally depraved and cowardly manner as yourself-

In falslely alleging such things as wife beating against people you have ideological disgreements with without having even the slightest evidence that any such thing might be occurring.

It is just amazing to me that you would expect that the prospect (to any normal person), of meeting a coward and sleaze like yourself, would give rise to any feeling other than overpowering revulsion.

..actually Mr. Farrar, you’ve never made it particularly clear what it is on Great Barrier Island that apparently has the power to drag you away from your life’s love- blogging.

What’s the big attraction??
