I don't want Gandalf to get caught up in this. Those are  my words, not his, and it is me who should account for them, not him.

What I said was an accurate description at the time I used them in the context I used them.  As is ever your want, you now take them out of context, place them in isolation or in a different context, and laughingly point your haughty finger.

That is disingenuous.


I laughingly point my haughty finger at you Aussie while you try to squirm your way out of this and play tag team apologetics with Gandalf. Either take it back or own it. The context is still there for all to see. It is the same context we see here - you trying to distance the jailing of a fellow Australian for having the wrong opinion from the legislation that deprives us all of freedom of speech.

BTW, have you decided whether to allow yourself an opinion on what was the cause of the court order?

As I have said many times here, despite your silly tantrums, I own what I say and I said this:

Quote:
There you go yet again with deceptive language.  He was jailed for Contempt of Court.  His contempt was defiance of a Court Order.  The Court Order was that he cease distributing holocaust denial material.  He then distributed that material.  Ergo, he was not jailed for denying the holocaust.


As for my opinion as to the cause of the Court order...it accords with what is set out in the links.

What about this Aussie? Do you also stand by this?

Gerald Fredrick Töben (director and founder of the Adelaide Institute) has been jailed in South Australia, as well as the UK and Germany for denying the holocaust. This is one of the most ludicrous uses of the law in a supposedly free society - preventing people from questioning historical facts.


I am not here to defend any European Law.  18C/D has nothing to do with that.  And, it is a blatant lie of the most scurrilous kind on your part freediver to assert he was jailed in SA for denying the holocaust. 


Did I tell a blatant lie of the most scurrilous kind, and then follow it up by 'disingenuously' quoting you saying so?

Do you still think 18c doesn't preclude anyone from saying anything? Do you agree with Brian Ross that we should target contempt of court legislation rather than 18c if we want to stop people being jailed for their opinion?

Why do you think that the contents of the court order are irrelevant to Toben's fate?

Have you read them this time Aussie? Last time I don't think you even read the bits you copied and pasted.

What about this one Aussie? Stand by it also, or have I taken it out of context?

The problem is that I gave you credit as someone who did not need everything spelled out in minutia.  I was wrong, hence it finally became necessary to be a semantic pedant and I posted:

Raven would rather ask questions that may never be answered, then accept answers which must never be questioned.

Once more Aussie I pointedly haught my laughing finger at you. You must be haugting pretty bad right now.

Quote:

Is that what you mean by a blatant lie of the most scurrilous kind? What about the other quotes I provided above? Do you also stand by them, or are you backpedaling to the point where you will only acknowledge one of your previous posts on the issue? Wise move Aussie. I would not want that idiocy on my record either.

Quote:
Freediver you cannot be jailed under 18c


As Toben illustrates, you can be jailed if the HREOC escalates the matter to the federal court. Saying you cannot be jailed on the assumption you will agree to self censor in compliance with 18c does not meet the common sense test. Toben was jailed for denying the holocaust in contravention of 18c. 18c means you can now be jailed for exercising your fundamental human rights.

Do you support that Raven, or just offer idiotic excuses?

Can you show us the legislation than outlines the penalties, FD?

Cheers.

You've asked that many times, and each time, I have told you I stand by my every word.

Karnal asked you a question.  Will there be an answer 'in the fullness of time?'  Or, will you answer him as quickly as I answer you?

What about the conclusion that 18c does not infringe on freedom of speech because it was not the cause of his jailing? Is that still semantics Gandalf?


Did Aussie say that? I haven't seen that quote. Obviously 18c infringes upon freedom of speech when it is used to justify the outright banning of holocaust denial under the guise of 'racial vilification' - as our first law officer himself insists it can. But the funniest thing here is that I was having a similar argument with you over 2 years ago - and it was you who was siding with the "18c doesn't forbid holocaust denial" argument. So I'm glad you've turned around on the subject - I think I'll take the credit for that.

Are you willing to defend what Aussie actually said, or are you simply determined to rescue the idiocy of a fellow apologist with your "both wrong and both right" nonsense?


I've already said Aussie's argument doesn't pass the common sense test and that he is playing silly semantic games, like you always do. Its almost as if he is your protege. I'm hardly defending him FD.

I think FD prefers to discuss sustainable fishing and carbon taxes, Aussie.

We'll have to ask him a question about that.

Impossible. FD is never influenced by the Muselman, G.

I hate racists but I hate the muzzling of free speech even more. Our nation went to war with Germany over just such principles.
