Well, this has been some day!

As a result of my posting I have received some interesting, to say the least, responses. Unfortunately, some of those responses have made unpleasant reading. More fool me for thinking I could have a reasonable discussion about such a topic on this forum .

I don't want to add to the detritus other than to point out to those people who may be having difficulty understanding what I have previously written in plain, simple English: - no where in my posting or anywhere else have I said I agree with Miranda Devine; - no where have I said that anyone should accept as truth what Miranda Devine has written; - no where have I said that every one should not read what Miranda Devine has written; - no where have I said that I object to other people having a different opinion to mine; - no where have I said that anyone or everyone should have the same opinion as mine;
- no where have I said that I favour prescribed burning;
- no where have I said I don't favour prescribed burning;
- no where have I expressed an opinion on prescribed burning;
- no where have I said that greenies are to blame for the fire disaster of Black Saturday; - no where have I said anyone is to blame for the fire disaster of Black Saturday; - no where have I claimed to know anything about bush-fires, prescribed burning, the dangers of living in fire-prone areas.
Anyone who claims the contrary is simply being mischievous.

What I have said is that I believe people should listen to all of the arguments and points of view before rushing into a hasty conclusion.
If people don't want to do that, then that is their problem.

I have no more to say on this subject on this forum.
