G’day folks,

I really thought this thread was serious, however, after spending several hours perusing numerous threads on this forum, past as well as present. I have to laugh at the hypocrisy on this thread by those whingeing. lol

Some of these folks over the last twelve months have been extremely inflammatory and derogatory to various individuals across our mainstream society. ( i just love the false virtue, lol ) Typically the person who goes to church but does not believe in god or the person who is vegetarians on a moral basis but however, likes to where a wear leather jackets and leather boots. lol

PS, as a former soldier, I have no time for hypocrites!

Regards,

RLI

Take this how you like, but as someone who is relatively new around here you seem to have quite a lot to say........just saying.  >:D

The way I look at this type of thing is if you are doing nothing wrong then there is nothing to worry about.  If on the other hand maybe just maybe some of your posts(not directed at you at all RLI just everyone in general) on reflection could be seen as a little offensive to whoever :angel:, next time you're posting keep that in mind and be mindful of the others that may read what you are typing.  I am myself no angel, but I always try to put myself in someone else's shoes  when I check what I've typed. 

It's not as some would say being "Politically Correct" either........it's about "Respecting" others especially the kids.

ok,
so jumping in here.. This is a Serious thread.
There has been discussion behind the forum within the mods team about members and the general feeling/posts of a few...

Please keep the thread on topic. This is a great place for people to share advice.... (not criticise each other)

A few PM's have been sent already...

Just because some things have slipped under the radar in the past, does not mean that it is acceptable now or in the future.
This thread is about what is acceptable, not the past.
Swearing, missed spelt swearing and even abbreviations I don't believe are acceptable on a family based forum.
Most people can get their point across without this type of language.

What does being a former soldier have to do with anything? 

And how does that equate to hypocrites?

Seems a strange dichotomy.

I hope that we don't get too precious with the language.   While it's hard to see some words ever having an appropriate use in polite conversation there are other words that can convey concepts better than any alternative.

That may define the organisation and its values however that does not automatically transfer to the employee. 

The ADF is like all employers.  It has good, bad and indifferent employees.  Our occupations do not define who we are or strengthen our argument unless the specialist skills obtained through that employment are directly applicable to the conversation.

If we were talking about climate change and I was a scientist then mentioning that would be of value and support my arguments.  If we are talking diesel engines then I would probably say "as a mechanic".

Thats kind of what I was suggesting.

Thought I'd throw a little bit of pshycology into the discussion.

The ADF is like all employers. Im sorry but not even close, when was the last time Coles asked an employee to head over to the Ghan, and sell a few loafs of bread ?
It has good, bad and indifferent employees. Fair call, but majority are good, apposed to my experience at present (8 years now a civie) where most are slugs,
Our occupations do not define who we are or strengthen our argument unless the specialist skills obtained through that employment are directly applicable to the conversation. He questioned hypocrisy. Being a member of the Defence Force requires the highest standards of integrity, perhaps not a skill, but defiantly a value, which I might add is sadly over looked in some parts of society today, which was applicable in his response.

If we were talking about climate change and I was a scientist then mentioning that would be of value and support my arguments.  If we are talking diesel engines then I would probably say "as a mechanic".

I rest my case.......

To be clear, I'm not referring to any one particular post or poster, but it saddens me to see the level and tone that the thread has taken.

Mate, if you're meeting that many "slugs" I think you need to move in some different circles.
