Giving multiculturalism a bad name

[erudito]

So, the Gillard Government, starting with the PM herself, is already distancing itself from a taxpayer-funded study which claimed that celebrating the centenary of ANZAC could be divisive. This shows that the Gillard Government is not suicidally stupid

If, we are to take yama at his word, and that he's not stalking me or my friends, then the only other explanation for his obsessive behavior is that he is my biggest, most ardent fan and admirer, which is the only other explanation for his constantly visiting my friends' blogs, his complete and utter despair at not being able to view/sign up for/ Aff's site, and read my friends' works (Actually, Yama if you really want to read Aff's Diary, you can buy it - it ships worldwide!) and his constant violation of user bans. That he so hungers for my words and presence says that I alone bring light and purpose to his life... and while flattering, I am quite spoken for already. Really, that he spends so much time of his day, desperately trying to view my work and Mary's, so obsessively, and upset that he cannot! is a rather creepy declaration of endless devotion and love for what I do. That would be the only other reason why he would WANT to follow me around all over the vast sea of Information that is the Internet, and why he spends so much time doing so.

I've said it already and I'll say it again - in public, so there is no mistake - I want nothing to do with yama, and have told him repeatedly to leave me alone, by dint of banning him and his various openIDs which he repeatedly uses to circumvent jordan179's bans. That he insists on taking it to other venues speaks for itself. That he insists on forcing his comments on me in other venues, speaks very loudly of the kind of lowlife scum that yama is. That he insists as well on harrassing my friends and associates, speaks of his utter lack of morals and virtues.

And on that note, with sincere apologies to our host, I will end my involvement in this off-topic discussion here. I like Aussies - I think they rock; I'm very much in love with one, and I loved the country from the moment I stood for the first time under that endless sky in the orchard-country outside Melbourne. It felt like coming home to this globe-trotting Asian, and there is nowhere else I'd rather be.

Yama wuvs you, but it is -- sadly -- an unrequited wuv. Oh the tragedy! (*flings hand up in sympathetic despair*) I feel like singing sad arias about it! :D
