Lets keep on topic, less more threads be closed down.

Hi Allan, I did use the "report this thread" option but apparently the moderators do not find the term "drunken Abos" to be offensive, so I felt compelled to publicly defend the good people in the aboriginal community.

Regards,

Tarring a whole people with the same derogatory brush is neither polite or sensible.

I beg your pardon. It may be that I can't write in English (I'm wog you see) but then it seems that you can't understand it. This thread is about opal and I simply described conditions in Coober Peddy at time when I was mining for it Nowhere I wrote anything bad about Aboriginals.

Then stick to talking about opals and leave out the term "drunken abos".
