I've never liked Paul Holmes and frankly, his death means nothing to me.

It amuses me though that some in this thread have, in the past, had the nerve to question my morals.

When I started this thread it was raising the issue of Knighthoods and other titles being relevent today. Paul Holmes was an example ( in my opinion ) of a knighthood, that was not justified.

I never liked the mans' tv shows, but on radio talkback he could atually give a good balanced debate. ( at times)
I found him a lot more plausible as his career developed,

I have had both parents die of cancer, a terrible death, I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

What this thread has degenerated into is a prime example of why some threads should be canned after page 3.

You are correct - this is ridiculous. The hyperbole in the media for one of their own vastly exceedes his standing. If's just another case of the media blowing up their own to inflate their position. They have gone from reporting the news to being the news. Headline like 'Good Night Brave Knight' and 'Angel Eve guiding Holmes Through'? Please.... Guiding him through what?

The whole point is that we are ALL entitled to express an opinion. NOT just the media but all of us and to devolve our right to an opinion to the media only is a bad thing. Paul Holmes never shrank from expressing one and if he didnt like something he was not unbiased - you knew about it. Effectively he acted as a social judge and wasnt worried about the down stream affects on peoples lives. I'm completely un appologetic about this. In my world view just saying 'whoops sorry' once you suddenly need to clear you own concience isnt changing a damn thing and doesnt make the guy a saint or a knight.

In my world view leaving your second wife and child for a 25 year old does NOT qualify you as the voice of the nation. I find it offensive. I don't care but I do have an opinion about it and if Paul Holmes was reporting on me acting as he did in his private life he would have NO problem questioning my morality....

Yeah - he got cancer and no one would wish that on anyone. I've had brush with cancer myself ffs - its not funny but it didnt change anything in my past either.
