This is my observation of the cognitive dissonance behind the thoughts(?) of Fairfax columnist Clementine Ford. She is undoubtedly one of the more abusive, dismissive, expletive laden and just downright disrespectful writers in Australia today. Her ideologically loaded prose is barely decipherable before you encounter the meretricious use of obscenities, usually expressing one favoured obscenity alternatively in the same sentence as; adjective, noun, verb, pronoun, proper noun etc. Perhaps the poor lass is the unfortunate recipient of an inferior public-school education, thus rendering her vocabulary devoid of comprehensive choices? Whatever! The reason for this blog however, is that it is this same gentle female who in an aggrieved tone complains that using such language hurts.
She is obviously not only lexically challenged but philosophically as well.
“I would like to say that words have consequences and abuse is not a joke.” – Clementine Ford discovers that abusive language is actually abusive after becoming the target of obscene threats and attacks on Facebook.What was it the good book says about reaping and sowing?
