Without wanting to sound like a suck-up, B.Ravesheart is an excellent choice of moderator. So much common sense. I can only marvel at the sensical brain machinations involved in weighing reason and sense to conjure posts that result in some sort of miracle of rationale and reason and common sense and wft the other things I don't understand
Would you like a straw with that?

Completely- I think if the thread is locked these posts should simply be removed. Otherwise reopen it and get it on the one thread.

Company directors can be liable for debts or tax obligations if they knowingly allow the company to continue 'trading' while insolvent.
I have no idea whether RA are close to insolvency or not. Seems unlikely though.

I genuinely had no idea that you didn’t use cream in carbonara.

Can we reopen the Folau thread ? Why cant we discuss it ? I know I have employees who have the same views as Israel and some dont , nobody lost their job, no clients walked away, we all get along.

I was responding to a post suggesting that might be a risk that Tahs not RA directors might be facing.
Pretty sure Tahs would have a RA reliance clause in their annual accounts as well.

Probably because it is boring and we will just repeat the same stuff over and over again.
And there is nothing wrong with having different views. It is communicating those views when you are representing your employer. Check out Angela Williamson, Scott McIntyre and Michaela Banerji as other examples in Australia. Of course all situations have their own quirks.

Are your employees famous? Are they nationally known figures? Are they, or have they ever been, the most important feature of your promotions? And, finally, have they been asked to refrain from this sort of use of social media?

Not having a crack, but this is the sort of tit-for-tat response that warranted it being locked...

Thanks for that Gnostic, I’m Bout half way through and will get back to it tonight. Thought provoking and I have already learned some things.

Circumstances alter cases, my friend. Nobody except you cares what your employees do, as long as they do not break the law.
A lot of people (including his former employer) cared a lot what Folau said on social media.

All people are created equally but not all are treated equally.
Gay people have been singled out - not by them - but by the majority. The way they express their love was singled out as a criminal offence. Their desire to express their love via marriage singled out as illegal. They’ve been singled out when bashed and bullied and treated second class. And suicide rates amongst young gay people singles itself out.
Society has now decided its time to stop singling them out. It’s now those that seek to declare them ‘different’ who are being singled out.
And as far as building ‘resilience’, tell that to parents of gay people who have ended their own lives.
How about the self declared normal ones show some resilience by learning to moderate their unkind and unsolicited actions and words.
Rant done.

If this post was the first time that you had posted those exact same words I could perhaps accept your defence, it is however not the first time and not in response to Haidt. It was however a nice attempt to try and recover from being called out on your falsehoods.
And the insults were not insults, just facts as far as I am concerned, others can have a different opinion, I expect that is the case and others have expressed such, that is fine, the beauty of real debate.

Couldn’t find any clause disclosed in their annual accounts. A six figure liability will likely render them insolvent so the Tahs survival is dependent on Rugby Australia’s support. Whether that support is there cannot be determined.
