I have returned to find, as predicted, the irony most definitely lost. When will you americans learn to appreciate such simple devices? Any chance of an explanation? Perhaps a riposte (I rather like that)? Oh never mind. Oh dear I have just noticed another howler ‘a few minutes of philosophical reflection trump a few millennia of human cultural tradition.’ Where do you think such philisophical epiphanies come from I wonder? Conjured much like your arguments, out of thin air? Your own subjectivism which you take great pains to distance yourself from is inescapable, you are a prisoner of mediochrity, accept it and get off your high horse. As for the rest of you relax, temper those patriotic stirrings, as someone who knows the Italian justice system fairly well I can assure you Foxy Knoxy and her Italian friend will get off on the next appeal. It’s a travesty of justice so far but that is the nature of justice, and for that matter rationality, they are human constructions thus inevitably flawed, deal with it.

If you expected us not to appreciate your remarks as written, why did you write them that way?
I’m Australian and I love irony. I don’t think I lost all that much of it.
Thank god a fellow member of the commonwealth.
