IMHO, they're profiteers. But if you're right, then we're in worse trouble than I thought.

I don't see any attempt to infringe on free speech here. Free speech doesn't appear to be the issue.

Silence is consent.

Can I be the moderator of civility. Someones got to do it, might as well be me since I'm the most civil unbiased person here.

Gosh dang it, you beat me to it. Since I know that the best way to determine how great the intelligence of a person is to gauge how moch they agree with me, I figured I would be the logical choice. But you are pretty close, at least in this thread, so I would have made you my deputy. But I don't get to spend much time here, so just keep doing a great job. Kudos for your accomplishments so far. I'll try to remain available for consultations on the hard calls, tho.

As practice, I'll say that my frame of mind is Against Anit-semites, but I'm not Jewish, or related to any that I know of. Plus I'm amused at all the postings of those who won't seem to miss DT, not to mention the secret society that DT wants to have "off-line, via gmail" but nobody seems willing to join - who was it that did not want to join any group that would accept him as a member? So, that would be Pro-Peace, and Amused, eh?

The coolest thing about it is that it only needs to happen in RWED, and the rest of the board can remain aloof. Thanks to unsung heroes like thatweirdgirl newbies are regularly and clearly informed to not venture into RWED with thin skins (or faulty logic units), so your enforcement here should not dilute the enjoyment of the rest of the board.

I've always had a little problem with that piece of advice that is often given to newbies. Why stay out of the RWED? It's generally a great forum, and there are always interesting topics and stimulating interactions between posters. I've been able to navigate thru all the stuff here for many years, and I'm still standing tall. So what if sometimes it gets a little rough, so what if sometimes it seems everyone is against you, so what if you get called a name or two. If you have that severe a confidence problem, then maybe you really aren't a Browncoat after all.

i'm confused why there is so much anger here ...
so,i'm leaving this post with a quote....

Mal: But it ain't all buttons and charts, little albatross. You know what the first rule of flyin' is? Well I suppose you do, since you already know what I'm about to say.
River: I do. But I like to hear you say it.
Mal: Love. You can know all the math in the 'Verse, but take a boat in the air you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her home.
River: Storm's getting worse.
Mal: We'll pass through it soon enough.

keep flyin' fellow browncoats (remember,most of us are on the same team)

Consider that the source of the remark, Ayatollah Khomeini, also referred to Israel as the "Little Satan" and said:

"We must all rise, destroy Israel and replace it with the heroic Palestinian nation."

"Islam and the Muslims and all international standards regard Israel as a usurper and aggressor and we do not approve the least negligence in terminating its aggressions."

"The criminal hands of the world arrogant states will not be severed off the Islamic lands unless Muslim nations and oppressed peoples rise against them and their offsprings especially Israel."

"It is incumbent on all Muslims especially Muslim countries to do away with this core of corruption {Israel} any way possible."

"This degenerative tumour that has, with backing of major powers, been planted in the heart of Islamic states and whose roots daily threaten the Islamic lands must be removed with help and effort of Islamic states and the great nations of Islam."

So I'm thinking he wasn't talking about peaceful elections.

Well spake, lurker above.
You're right, we lose sight of the idea.

There are a couple of company men, and alliance moles, but for all we know, they might be future allies, but more importantly, it's not them that brings us down, it's our own infighting.

I don't think you'll find any place on this site that is more like life on Serenity than the RWED. As a matter of fact it's pretty tame here compared to life on Serenity. I know everyone sees something different in Firefly, but don't forget River stabbing Jane, River kicking Simon in the throat, Simon punching Mal, Mal telling Jane to leave the table, Mal threatening to put Jane out the Airlock, etc. I think the list could go on for a while. At one point in the movie Mal threatens to kill anyone who isn't helping or getting out of his way. As far as I know there have been no death threats around here so far. I think the quote that best describes my feelings about people in RWED is Book's dieing words to Mal.

Ah, but Mal kicked Jane from the table for acting like people here :)

You left out River trying to get everyone killed, and Simon trying to get everyone killed, Simon letting Kaylee die, and who was that mole they picked up in the beginning?

It's no use! The hair will still be there!
