"Daz is right in what he is saying and he has no burdon to carry because he hasn't made a case for MON's demise.

"Chief, the premise of scapegoating is to isolate one person (or social category, like 'immigrant') for critique, lodging what is distributed (sometimes no) responsibility in that one person or category, and blame them for a larger series of effects.…"

"Mitchy, thanks for making my point for me! Of course Anderson was part of a system that wasn't working. He was definitely accountable even if not solely responsible.  But that has been my point about scapegoating. Hence why I was surprised Chiefy…"

"Randy, we are on good terms but that will change if you persist with silly remarks about my identity. Deal with my counter-argument to scapegoating directly, not via absurd insinuations. I thought we were on the same page about 'arguments' in…"

"Absolutely that's where we are heading. Tuivati barnstorming run quick leg speed and play the ball, tds scoots out of dummy half finding Iongi in space under the posts. Not too dissimilar to big Nelson/Grant/Papenhausen.
