  • Interesting piece by @BernardKeane, worth reading "Keane: media bias v political substance in the budget" http://goo.gl/uLS7g via @jdub #
  • And people wonder why techies are able to turn into BOFHs. It's hard to not get a little cynical 🙂 @manaz_d @paulwallbank @bjjazzyjeff #

  • ARGH I MUST NOT FEED TROLLS! It is really hard sometimes to just accept that someone is uninterested in logic, facts or actual discussion :/ #
  • It's a little frustrating that the Zoom Q3HD comes with such abysmal software. It's great hardware! Back to Premier Pro I guess :/ #
  • .@dotnetnoobie Ah! <pennydrop> You are a bot, otherwise why would you say "it", thanks for demonstrating my point again 🙂 /cc @grmsn #
  • .@dotnetnoobie Huh? When did I send you a message off list? I tend to say what I think publicly so stop trolling 🙂 /cc @grmsn #
  • .@BabsNation Think I might thanks 🙂 I do live in hope y'all might take a critical thinking course, but have fun in the meantime 😉 #auspol #
  • .@grmsn Yeah, I think I will. But, but, someone is wrong on the internet! http://xkcd.com/386/ 😉 #
  • .@dotnetnoobie You know *nothing* about me, but throw stones if I don't flat out agree with hyped up FUD. Again, my point validated, thx 😛 #
  • .@dotnetnoobie Heh, you demonstrate my point. If I disagree then I obviously *must* vote the other way from you. World =/ black or white 😛 #
  • Was just reminded why I tend to avoid #auspol hashtag. So much trolling, FUD & ridiculous hyperbole by ppl utterly uninterested in facts :/ #
  • .@BabsNation Hardly, but you are a troll of epic proportions so well done in exceeding my already very low expectations of #auspol 🙂 #
  • .@BabsNation It is hilarious because it points out how the issue has been hijacked by morons who know nothing about it, e tu? 😛 #auspol #
