Does the identical mis-spelling mean that Thaddeus and ex-journo are the same person? But why would anyone want more than one anonymous identity? Especially ones that can’t spell or word-check.Ex mayornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-80772277424993614272010-08-01T10:54:47.960+10:002010-08-01T10:54:47.960+10:00Obviously King had some quid pro quo deal with Mac...Obviously King had some quid pro quo deal with Mackenzie. One gets the impression that King would only be motivated by "cui bono?". That Mackenzie and King worked in tandem on undermining the Mayor of Cairns was quickly apparent in the similar content of their diatribe. They both reduced any rational, intelligent debate to personal, asinane attacks. King's obvious sneer at older women in his tagging the Mayor "Auntie Val" and several scornful comments on her hair and clothing were not only misogynistic but unwittingly provided readers with an insight into perhaps a troubled and uncertain sexuality. Mackenzie and King both scoffed at the first suggestions of the Cultural Precinct, both tagging it "Val's Volcano" and (amazingly) both claimed it was all about egocentricity. Both Mackenzie and King have been successful in dividing the residents of Cairns to an unprecedented degree. Their unprofessional efforts have changed forever the public's relationship with elected representatives. I dont believe either King or Mackenzie understand how much damage they have done and how never again can Cairns go back to the days when public figures were respected.<br /><br />Already we have alternate blogsites pillorying Mackenzie and Kev Byrne. We are entering a new era which does not auger well for elected representatives and their unique social contract.EX JOURNOnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-62033134197118732952010-08-01T01:17:57.422+10:002010-08-01T01:17:57.422+10:00I have today bestowed the title SIR BORS DE KRAPPU...I have today bestowed the title SIR BORS DE KRAPPUS on this Gavin King person.ODD QUEENnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-50174982560770122532010-07-31T22:54:16.522+10:002010-07-31T22:54:16.522+10:00"Anyway, he's not really the King, but I ..."Anyway, he's not really the King, but I know the odd Queen that would love to knight him."<br /><br />Nice pic.
