Recently de-equitised Minter Ellison partner Simon Alroe, the subject of an apparent Survivor-style ‘voting off the island’, has created his very own blog.

keep your eyes on the dagger

Alroe, who the Sunshine Coast Daily reported is set to open a new art gallery, has used the blog to hit back at critics. In a scathing, but probably fair, assessment of society and the legal industry, Alroe writes:

Ever since I had the audacity to put my head above the parapet by daring to be more than just a lawyer by writing a play, opening an art gallery and performing music in public I have attracted more slings and arrows than Hamlet on a bad hair day. This society which we love and hate so much is seriously sick. Let’s face it. It breeds people who viciously and secretly attack anyone who dares to hold a mirror up to its racism, sexism and homophobia. To its fear of being different and honest and true to oneself. If these people want to live outside the law (of defamation and contempt of court) they could at least tell the truth and state their real names instead of hiding behind lies, pseudonyms and blogsites (like 4350water blogger).

‘Normal fear motivates us to improve our individual and collective welfare; abnormal fear constantly poisons and distorts our inner lives. Our problem is not to be rid of fear but, rather to harness and master it’: Martin Luther King Jr.

I’m looking forward to the real truth coming to light and to these internet vampires disintegrating with their lies.
