There is no "both sides are just as bad".A_Nonny_Moosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770341086445997547.post-78473048534956157512013-04-28T08:42:02.277+12:002013-04-28T08:42:02.277+12:00Hey last Anonymous, see our comments policy if you...Hey last Anonymous, see our comments policy if you want to comment again please.<br />But speaking, as I always do, on behalf of The Left, I will say this.

(Although I don't mean the satirical piece, I mean a fair amount of the other stuff that follows with people making even more stuff up about what he might also say.) It makes me wonder if people need to make sh*t up just to ensure they reinforce the homophobic meme.<br /><br />On the other hand, I thought the request for $500 was just his little joke, but people can get so precious about money, they often fail to see the funny side.ZenTigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07888629207437612884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770341086445997547.post-26752867198362247202013-04-25T21:30:52.889+12:002013-04-25T21:30:52.889+12:00ZenTiger - Colin Craig is frequently hilarious, de...ZenTiger - Colin Craig is frequently hilarious, despite, I suspect, not meaning to be. So I was slightly tongue-in-cheek.<br />Objecting to the clearly satirical piece - and actually suing for $500 when he is ridiculously rich - is quite frankly absurd.<br />We don't need to invent Colin Craig being homophobic, he does that all by himself whenever he talks about sexuality.<br />That's what I was saying.LudditeJournohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13154447284268192467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770341086445997547.post-53483580377249499932013-04-25T18:48:52.293+12:002013-04-25T18:48:52.293+12:00Hi.

I don't quite understand the point you are making with regard to Colin Craig.<br /><br />Are you saying that The Civilian was wrong to write a satirical piece on passing the marriage redefinition act causing flooding, <br /><br />or<br /><br />that it is wrong for Colin Craig to not like the fact that people make up quotes inventing what he says, so they can continue the meme he is homophobic?<br /><br />or<br /><br />that Colin Craig is homophobic, so he shouldn't do or say anything in his defense, regardless of how he is portrayed, because he deserves it anyway?<br /><br />or something else again?ZenTigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07888629207437612884noreply@blogger.com
