Whoever puts the racist stickers all over my neighbourhood

What are we going to do with you, mate?

I'm sure you'd argue that it's free speech when you sticker the local bus stops and electricity boxes. It's not. It's vandalism and it's harassment. If you don't already keep a blog and write letters to the editor and the government, why don't you try that instead?

I think we both know the answers. Firstly, because then you'd have to own up to your views - maybe even defend them. That's a lot harder than anonymously trying to make Australians feel unwelcome in their own community. Secondly, it's because our community rejected your views decades ago. That's why, as soon as you go on another stickering spree, the stickers come straight down - whether easily peeled off when they're still fresh, or painstakingly removed a little at a time by a succession of passing thumbnails.

I don't think you belong to one of those scary little groups, or there'd be a URL or PO Box in tiny letters somewhere on one of your efforts. I don't think you have mental problems, either. I think you're just a bitter individual who can't accept that the world keeps turning whether we like it or not.

By the way, if we speak English in Australia, why don't you learn to fucking spell?

That's an interesting possibility (it might be a perception of competition, rather than real rivalry for the same work, but it would still create the resentment).
