Well, yes, this is.

I suggested that, because Tanner seems to me to feel more strongly about social issues than Rudd, he’s the more likely leaker.

Greenfield responded to that with a sarcastic crack about his value to the ALP,…

Well, the problem is that Greenfield’s response:

Yaaiirrssss…I could not agree more that Tanner is a HUGE loss to Labor and the country.

was not, I believe, made sarcastically, setting to one side the “Yaaiirrssss”, if his comments over the last two months are to be believed. I can see how you might have been led astray since you might have missed them.

And you were right about what?

Now I’m starting to think we’re talking about completely different things.

I suggested that, because Tanner seems to me to feel more strongly about social issues than Rudd, he’s the more likely leaker.

Greenfield resonded to that with a sarcastic crack about his value to the ALP, which frankly I don’t give two shits about. I’m glad he stepped down as my local member – his seat is likely to be claimed by a Green and a personal friend of mine.

This is weird.

As Elmer Fudd would say, your’e a ranker.

Stop trying to skulk out of it and apologize.

I’m glad we went to all the trouble of clearing that up.

Yes, it was gracious of you to ignore the spirit of the comment and simply point to my mistaken expression. Here is what I should have wrote:

It was either addressed to me, FDB, you might note the db that precedes his first comment, or, if you were responding to his second comment, “I could not agree more that Tanner is a HUGE loss to Labor and the country”, I can’t imagine that you didn’t quite mean something like that when you said earlier, “Oh, and yes – Tanner makes more sense to me than Rudd. He actually cares about issues.”

“And it’s all entirely their own bloody fault for being a bunch of shallow closeted arrogant self-righteous narrow-minded spendthrift fucktards. ”

Add some commas and you have as brilliant a summation of the ALP as you will ever hear.

Not that it particularly matters, but you suggested I owe an apology to Greenfield. Perhaps you owe me one, for butting in and being so wrong, and he owes me one, for lying that he wasn’t responding to my comment. But it’s all very petty, no?
