Stupid World

That would certainly have been true once.

Like...say...about 5 years ago - when Paula Bennett was the Minister of Social Development?

[TheDemonLord]

Ok, so we've established that I suspect there's a real likelihood that this manager had some sort of instruction/incentive from higher up and that you're not bothered to even consider the possibility.

My God...

You really are that fucking retarded, do you even understand basic English?

It is a possibility,

You suspect - based on what?

The only thing you suspect on, is your preconceived notions, ideas and biases.

And as far as your usual drivel goes - this one is actually entirely plausible, I've even said as such multiple times (yet you managed to miss that, spectacularly).

However just because something is possible and plausible does not mean that we forgo the burden of proof. Of which at this time, presented to the public, there is none. This is not to say that there is no such proof anywhere.

But keep on failing Katman.

Dude, this isn't a Court of Law.

I'm just thinking out loud.

Take those glasses off and give your eyes a rest.

I think the word these days is 'egg'.

I think the word these days is 'egg'.

That's correct.

[TheDemonLord]

Dude, this isn't a Court of Law.

No, it's the court of Public opinion, where you can reach a conclusion with no proof whatsoever.

I'm just thinking out loud.

No, you really aren't. And that is the problem.

You've seen something, jumped to a conclusion based on your preferred Narrative.

When someone points out that you have nothing apart from conjecture to get from point A to point B, you throw a tanty and start going off your standard playbook.

The funny thing is, I actually suspect that you may have a point - that there is a possibility that there was some internal pressure. It is entirely within the realms of reality and something that is with a long history of precedents.

However, in the article there was no evidence of such and so based on what is available to us, the only possible conclusion (backed up by the known facts) is that this isn't some big departmental conspiracy, but this is due to one asshole Manager.

Should more or additional evidence come to light, then it is reasonable to change this conclusion, but not before.

Take those glasses off and give your eyes a rest.

I have no glasses - it's why I can see straight through your BS.

Really?

Do you actually think we should just take that one article as the definitive explanation of this issue?

(Nice self-contradiction though).

[TheDemonLord]

No, I think we should evaluate events based on the evidence available to us, not making shit up because it suits your delusional world view.

(Nice self-contradiction though).

There is only a contradiction if you ignore what I actually said and replace it with what you want me to have said (which is what you are continually doing).

[Katman]

No, I think we should evaluate events based on the evidence available to us.....

Like the social reforms that Paula Bennett set about introducing around that time?

[Katman]

No, it's the court of Public opinion

By George, I think she's got it!

[TheDemonLord]

Like the social reforms that Paula Bennett set about introducing around that time?

Which would be Circumstantial.

[TheDemonLord]

By George, I think she's got it!

You are really struggling with English today aren't you....

[Katman]

Which would be Circumstantial.

You're not suggesting we should ignore circumstantial evidence, are you?

[TheDemonLord]

You're not suggesting we should ignore circumstantial evidence, are you?

I'm suggesting that with all the Strawmen you are setting up, you must be running low on agricultural supplies.

I don't think you really know what you're suggesting.
