    Umbrellas...is there anything they can't do?

    Zoe, totally O/T, but thank you for for your reasoned and rational responses to Andrew Bolt's blog article re Captain Clint. (9 Nov 10)
    I have to admit I was astonished at the vehemence and anger displayed by some of the the usually relatively calm (if occasionally cranky) commenters on Bolt's blog on this issue.
    I am a former professional soldier, an Infantry combat veteran, and a card carrying right wing conservative, yet I have no difficulty in accepting Captain Clint in her gender reassigned role, and I like to think that most others of my type and military background would be equally as accepting.

    Over a number of years I have seen your internet presence adapt from A.E Brain to Zoe, and have been both impressed and educated by your outlook and you ability to pass on your very personal thoughts on gender reassignment.
    To most men, particularly the macho types that make up much of our military, this is not something we want to either acknowledge or deal with, but your insights have gone a very long way to creating understanding and accepting a very real world situation.

    Thank you again for "letting it all hang out' on these blogs. It has not been in vain if only one person's attitude changes.

    Kudos.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
