(1996)<br /><br />Instead Peter quoted himself in the third person, as an authority.

It was fun to read thorough this indictment of the RMA by Peter Cresswell and think then, Yes, we believe we may be able to kill this monster. <br />But you couldn’t kill old yellow tooth if you tried. He is still making a nuisance of himself in socio-politics.<br />And there are certainly a lot of commas in the Cresswell submission, but apart from the fact that some could have been replaced by semi colons, I could not see any blatant abuse.<br />The submissions we made then, were to the Simon Upton ‘Think Tank’ which the little girl sniffed at before he went off to join one of the big bureaucracies in the world and spend millions of dollars more in useless paper work. I printed mine from a ribbon typewriter, [ I think] which was controlled by an early word processor, and a true floppy disc . <br />A good memory here to Owen McShane who I met at his home that year in Kawakawa, and realized I was only slightly out of my depth.<br />Yes, I did go down to the Office of the Chief Planner Bob Nixon at the Republik of Socialist Christchurch, and said. <br />“ It is your time Bob, I have come to execute you “ but he refused. Typical planner.<br />paul scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675247055484136242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-76025159150492673962015-01-30T09:49:40.073+13:002015-01-30T09:49:40.073+13:00Karl clearly has not read or written any academic ...Karl clearly has not read or written any academic research where it is entirely appropriate (and necessary) to quote one's previous research, for the reasons Mark has just given above.
