No, not a rough night.. just wondering how dedicated you are to your cause if you couldn't even be arsed to have a subscription... means you aren't ready to put your money on the table it seems, very telling.

Money? Money?

What money? I'm practically a churchmouse after donating all my time to this forum.

 

[lexity]

We just learnt that via the google search, a day or two ago

Oh?

Care to share?

Money? Money?

So why aren't you donating your time to the worthy cause then?

You have choices, why aren't you making them in practical furtherance of your wishes?

 

[lexity]

I also believe in checks & balances to keep those orgs under control. Stated many, many, many times.

There is no such thing as an 'expropriating property protector'.

It's an oxymoron.

Oh?

Care to share?

Info stated that Legislation for the right of the Premier to call a referendum was never even tackled, let alone passed.

Something not good with your memory?

That doesn't sound honest - good that you use your (partially?) unemployed time for things like this, like me, but doubt this forum could have led to your demise.

You're giving a list of natural barriers to entry... which would apply to everyone, in a free market.

How could those providing the least satisfactory price/quality combo hold on to customers who know there is someone else providing a better combo?

Because you are assuming that a monopoly or cartel would be unable to exert their market power to drive out other competitors. Again, you dismiss the costs and the risks of going up against an established cartel because in your hypothetical scenario, the risk of losing money trying to break into a market is dismissed.

Agreed.

And nothing to do with the focus under examination, mr. politician

I wouldn't even say its dismissed.

Lexy is wilfully rendering the cost of entry as well as the barriers to entry into a large scale national market managed and controlled by a cartel as zero.

This is naive in the extreme and its being done on purpose to drive his narrative, regardless of how rational or realistic it is.

 

[Cray]

You're implying it by advocating for a monopoly accreditation provider, who is special in the sense he doesn't need your permission to have you pay him for a **** service

I've have never misappropriated the implications of your lack of connected thinking to you.

Lexie you have a terrible record of suggesting that people are implying things when they aren't actually doing that.

Maybe lets just stick to discussing what people actually say rather than the things you make up for them.

 

[Cray]

Oh my God... has the secession penny finally dropped, for Cray???

Nope, you need to demonstrate it first, whenever youre ready.

 

[lexity]

@lexity I'm very curious about this conclusion, would you mind explaining it further, what's the phrase, make it make sense ...

Let's begin with what should be very easy to agree on.

Mybb must comply with certain rules that are imposed on it by an uninvited 3rd-party, or that 3rd-party's appointed allies.

Ask :

1) Is there a 3rd-party, setting terms and conditions of operation for members of this sector?

2) Is that 3rd-party present by uncoerced invitation? i.e. Do they threaten violence for non-compliance?

3) have any members ever incurred such violence, due to them insisting their customers are better served using an alternative system of accreditation i.e. one that does not involve threats of violence?

Let's start with the simple stuff.

Something not good with your memory?

Why would I remember something I never read in the first place?

Can you link to it, Mr Potshot Taker?

 

[Brian_G]

Mr Potshot Taker?

Now you're just being rude, what on earth would I do that for???????

I'll see if I'm in the mood to find it later


Edit: Turns out at least a start to legislation was created, but indeed it appears hasn't yet been passed. Why is also suspicious, read on..

 

[lexity]

Nope, you need to demonstrate it first, whenever youre ready.

I need to demonstrate it before you'll be convinced a free market economy better serves the needs and wants of consumers?

Fine, that's all I ever suggest on this forum.

Let's get the new jurisdiction set up, so that that demonstration can get started.

I'm not asking you to take my word for it.

 

[Grant]

No, I have my hands full enough with the freebie paragraphs... cheapskate that I am.



(Poor ToxicBunny... sounds like he had a rough night. )

Oy vey.

Here's a fresh AI assisted response to the Premier-calling-referendum issue, with human reference sources;

 

[Cray]

Let's begin with what should be very easy to agree on.

Mybb must comply with certain rules that are imposed on it by an uninvited 3rd-party, or that 3rd-party's appointed allies.

What makes you think that the 3rd party is uninvited? From the terms and conditions

You agree to not use the Service to submit or link to any Content which is defamatory, abusive, hateful, threatening, spam or spam-like, likely to offend, contains adult or objectionable content, contains personal information of others, risks copyright infringement, encourages unlawful activity, or otherwise violates any laws.

It seems that the owners of the forum are being good corporate citizens and encourage and require said users of this forum to obey the law. If you don't like that, perhaps this isn't the right place for you?

You have excused yourself from playing by the rules of peaceful conflict avoidance/resolution.

So whenever you invite settling an argument through discourse, you always end up deferring to authority.

Tell us what you think:

Should everyone be equal under the law, if not everyone is born with the same learning ability?

If you're going to accuse Cray of excusing himself of playing by the rules, will you also admit you ignore the rules because you don't like them?

When did I do that?

What does the second part of that sentence even mean?
