I soft deleted both offending posts and gave a warning - it seems these guys have a bit of a Kiwi bug up each others’ arses for one another…
We’re heading for winter down this part of the planet. The Kiwi sheep, who are commonly the objects of human male sexual attention in Kiwiland, aren’t as amorous in the colder weather. It makes the Kiwi blokes a bit irritable, from sexual frustration, so they take it out on each other.
We see sheep as tucker (food), but the Kiwis see them differently.

Kiwi sheep jokes to stay: Oakes
October 31, 2003
Australia will never get rid of the sheep jokes with which it provokes New Zealanders, says Australian political commentator Laurie Oakes.
“We’ll never get rid of the sheep jokes, any more than we will get rid of the Kiwi jokes about IQ levels in Australia,” said Mr Oakes, political editor for the Nine network in Australia.
“There’s always been a bit of a niggle in the relationship,” he told a Victoria University conference on trans-Tasman relationships.
Mr Oakes said the biggest sheep joke of all had been Australia having to pay Eritrea $A1 million ($NZ1.16 million) and give it 3000 tonnes of feed to get it to take a shipload of 52,000 reject sheep.
But he noted that on leaving Canberra for Wellington he had been warned by a caller to be prepared for complaints from New Zealand about Australia’s “loveboat” having been sent to Eritrea.
Mr Oakes said he thought there had been a breakthrough in Australia-New Zealand relations when a Wellington newspaper recently called for an end to sheep jokes.
"The paper said: `It was always a bit rich for a country with more than twice the sheep population of New Zealand’s, and a national song celebrating waltzing beside a billabong with a delicious jumbuck – an affectionate Australian ovine term – to suggest improper relations on this side of the Tasman’.
“The newspaper went to say that the sheep jokes had stopped”.
But a fortnight later, an article in Sydney’s Daily Telegraph, on whether Australians should sing Waltzing Matilda at the rugby World Cup, said: “The Kiwis are probably just puzzled as to why you’d put a jumbuck in a tucker bag, when with a raised eyebrow and some sweet talk you could coax it into your sleeping bag”.
But a Hobart academic, Margaret Lindley, said New Zealanders were the butt of trans-Tasman jokes partly because Australians still resented the fact that New Zealand turned down the chance to become an Australian state in January 1901.
“You could have joined us, and you didn’t,” said Dr Lindley, who lectures in culture and history at the University of Tasmania. Historians have argued over whether there was too little popular support in New Zealand for a trans-Tasman federation – with New Zealand as the seventh state – or whether the ambitious NZ Premier at the time, Richard “King Dick” Seddon, preferred a New Zealand empire in the Pacific, including Samoa and the Cook Islands.
"We invited you to join our Federation: you rejected our invitation, and that hurt our feelings.
"Under our rugged convict exteriors, we’re sensitive: we don’t like rejection, unless we’re doing it.
“So, why we should give a rat’s arse about a little bunch of sheep shaggers, I don’t know. And don’t tell me that only applies to men: Kiwi women would shag sheep if they could – we’ve watched you play netball.”
New Zealand could never redeem itself by being on the receiving end of thrashings, because Australia was supposed to thrash its neighbour, said Dr Lindley, whose talk was titled: Picking on New Zealand and Other Australian Pastimes.

Thank you for that inside info on how things work down under!:lol:
But what’s the background of Kiwis joking about Australia’s IQ level?
Seriously, that offense by bas was totally uncalled-for. However regarding Uyraell’s French bash some time ago, well, he shouldn’t act too touchily.
I hope BAS wasn’t implying that Uyraell beat his sheep. 
That’s why I didn’t give any infractions and just let it go with a not very stern warning. They’re both decent posters but I think if you dish it, you’d better take it…I also “soft” deleted because the posts had nothing to do with the topic and bas is free to start another thread re. gun rights in NZ (which seems to be the debate at the center of this all)…
It’s about Kiwis claiming that they got rid of their dummies, as only a dummy wouldn’t want to live in NZ, by exporting them to an even dumber country.
There was very little migration either way from the 1930s to the 1960s. From the late 1960s Kiwis poured into Australia. This flow surged in the late 1970s. Between 1976 and 1982, 103,000 New Zealanders settled permanently in Australia. New Zealand’s prime minister at the time, Robert Muldoon, had a ready reply to complaints: ‘New Zealanders who leave for Australia raise the IQ of both countries’.

I think bas has been a bit inclined to react extremely over nothing on at least one other occasion, but I can’t recall when or over what and I can’t be bothered trawling through his posts to find out.
I think, from the comment about Uyraell not knowing as much as he thinks he does, it might have been more about Uyraell beating his meat.
