Sure, I get that. But eloquence is not the be all and end all of discussion.
How about this; rather than dropping content bombs, how about you just paste a link to the article with a comment to give it context, like:
"Hey, check out this new tax that is being reported. The 80% increase in tobacco tax is really gonna hurt me because I am a 500 a day smoker. The PM promised this wasn't going to happen. What do you guys think?"
Encourage response and debate. Notice how you get little response to many of your posts? It's because you are not leaving the door open for someone to walk in and join the party.
I appreciate that being a moderator is a difficult and often a thankless job.
I feel that you have forced me into saying something that I was reluctant to say:-
I suffered a stroke at age 40, in which I could have died, and it has left me with many ongoing issues.
My life would be very different without the care and the support of my wife.
Pre-stroke my typing speed wasn't flash, but now it is worse,
Pre-stroke I was an Intensive Care Paramedic who sometimes worked at the Ambulance Operations Centre despatching ambulances and allocating them "jobs" both verbally and by computer. I will never know the level I could have reached as a paramedic. I really enjoyed my job/career/profession.
I was too small-of-frame to play colts, grade, or subbies rugby, but I have followed rugby all my life. So much so that I took up refereeing in my mid-thirties. Being a referee is a difficult and often a thankless job. I will never know the level I could have reached as a referee.
Every day I miss my pre-stroke life. Imagine if you were unable to do many of the things that you take for granted.
Enduring a near-death and/or a life-changing experience can change your perspective on things - it certainly did for me. So if I seem a bit "Devil-may-care" at times, it's no surprise. In fact I have a more "don't put up with shit" attitude these days; if that offends some people, "build a bridge, and get over it".
I have deep feelings of fairness and a fair-go - principles that Australia was built on, principles that I see being eroded every day with this government. Again, if that offends some people, "build a bridge, and get over it".
So while people sit in the office, or being out in the field, comfortable with their life, just pause for a moment to think of how it all could be very different.
btw this took a very long time to type.
