We’ve all missed quality flaming of late.

So many thanks to The Arsonist for this effort on the subject of the palm tree fires:

Gee, I thought my anti-woman post about the roo cull would qualify as FOTW. Better try harder next time . . .

no. 3 is never say their name – not even even their IP…

hey I could light their house on fire because I think it would be “sick”. Would make it perfectly fine?

That message couldn’t of been typed by a real arsonist as there are no spelling mistakes. Grammar, word set up is a tad off, but some private school students are like that.

These low life scum of the earth should be locked up & shut off from the rest of the world, except for an occasional beating by fellow inmates.

“Cuzz nothin else can set fire to this town”

Never a truer word re Queanbeyan

Oh the flames trees revive the surely scriber…

Arsonists are usually compensating for something. What might you be compensating for by lighting up long, straight, erect trees?

Who still says *NOT* to signify their statement is sarcastic? I suspect the culprit is a time traveller from the early 90s.

Someone might even do a poem…

mmm so many tangents,
This could go anywhere.

Same theory that ruins your life for having group-sex, but lets you out on bail for kidnap and assault.

And you dont have to wait for 7 years to be let out on bail

I am intrigued by a moral theory whereby arson is acceptable, but saying “F.UCK” in public is not.

The point is moot, because if you read the updates in the linked RiotACT story on the fires, you’ll find that the offenders were identified, arrested and fronted court already.

Anyway my understanding in this case is that the culprits have been apprehended.

We respect the privacy of all our contributors SB.

If the police want that detail badly enough they have legal means with which to request it.

Even when a poster effectively admits to committing a crime?

Of course, there’s no real way of telling whether the loser who wrote this rant was really the tree-torcher, or some blow-in trolling.

Fair point JB

I am intrigued by a moral theory whereby arson is acceptable, but saying “F.UCK” in public is not.

Snap, banshee. I was just suggesting we all club together and influence the RA owners with money to reveal its IP.

So jb, has the IP been appropriately forwarded?
