Don't know. Both good - not sure who I'd favour.

Like his 'arrogance' too.

How does he rate compared to Lonie?

Let me get this right. You are quoting Mark Latham's rant as 'evidence' that you were right?

I am checking because I can't believe that anyone would do this.

This seems a much more realist interpretation of matters: AFL failed community over Dustin Martin affair January 21, 2016 12:00am RITA PANAHIHerald Sun AUSTRALIA’S pre-eminent sporting organisation portrays itself as a community leader in promoting respect and responsibility towards women but the re...

Your comment was made during a part of the thread where you wanted to continually question the woman's motives/ actions and her handling of the incident.

i.e. 'Yes, we're hearing a lot from her friends.'

That's the 'context.'

Yup, the implication is clear. She was looking and asking for trouble, and then trying to make more out if it than is warranted. Let's go with that. You go with whatever makes you feel better. No-one is saying what you have written. Dragit, that's exactly what you're saying: 'So to remain out of th...

Yes, really, you are.

Revolting. Nasty. Contemptible.

'Retreat back to my safe space?' No. Please, continue with your invective.

'Get that one up ya......' you write, True Believer.

You really are a revolting person, aren't you?

Good to know that you're 'happy that know that at least the Richmond FC have been challenged to make a big call.' Yes, let's have a few extra little quips like this. Because it's pretty funny, really, right? Let's not admit the vile nature of the actual incident. Or the appalling nature of your earl...

Oh, yes, let's acknowledge 'male bashing' as being part of the problem, by all means.

Ha!

I must remember to add it to the list of excuses and/or mitigating circumstances regarding this incident.

Great article from Titus OReily: Some fun defences of Dustin Martin Over the last few days we’ve heard some fun and creative defences of Dustin Martin threatening to kill a woman. Let’s look at these as like the incident, they’re hilarious! “He’s unlucky, we wouldn’t even know about this if he wasn’...

'Woman who alleges Dustin Martin threatened her says AFL ‘leaned’ on her to change evidence.' Jon Kaila and Lauren Wood Herald Sun

Gee, seems like everyone is trying to pick on poor Dusty in order to continue the widely spread culture of 'male bashing.'

AFL protects star, sells out victim

Quite.

Oh, sorry. You're right. The incident had nothing to do with gender. How dare I? I give you the Royal Commission into child sexual abuse (happening now) and its highlighting of the power structures within the church (men) that enabled these appalling abuses to occur. And in the Defence Forces. I giv...

Sorry,Mr Legend, I was talking about violence against women.

But, please, bring it back to MEN by all means.

And Mr Merchant, yes, it's 'the responsible service of alcohol' and such like that is what needs to be talked about.

Shouldn't that be my mare?

It's part of the way in which men continue to absolve themselves of responsibility for violence against women.

See what you wrote? That's called victim blaming. And you're doing it.

...'most likely the victim did absolutely nothing wrong.'

Gold, and you still don't get it.

OK, I'll try to explain: Any comment that includes references to the 'many, many' factors that may have been involved, such as his 'mates', 'the restaurant', the 'media', the 'management', the 'club', the 'atmosphere', ' the alcohol', 'his troubled past', 'society', 'the woman', the 'AFL', 'his drin...
