Well thanks for that. I don't know that I wouldn't because I'm not sure I know all of the circumstances. There are conflicting accounts of the story, muddled with a lot of assumptions at this point.
In a big way, this is very like an out of hand PTA meeting. And I have seen a PTA meeting come pretty close to a riot before! There are the veteran players with various alliances and there are the folk who recently came on the scene. All the passion and outrage comes from the new players, regardless of their chosen alliances. I'm a vet. I'm cynical and skeptical as hell. The one thing I've learned over the years is that, no matter how much you think you understand, there's always more.
I don't have The Solution® I think we need to put a lot more heads together before we come up with a way to win. But I'm damned sure a veteran at not losing.
Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps.

Ginger, great quote...but I believe the author is Dave Mason.
When Plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in a society, they create for themselves in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.

Oh, and Greg, as I keep saying to my online game addicted adoptive son, my mud's better than your mud! :razz:
We'll just see who's method pans out. I must admit, though, you were right about Bingo! Amazing!
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Damn you, Greg from Florida!!! You're probably right.
You should be allowed to do whatever you want with your own person and property, as long as you don't physically harm the person or property of a nonconsenting other.

I understand what you're saying and there is a valid point in what you say, but he's a GREAT noisemaker and considering the informality of the forum I would think it's easily something everyone can live with. Not everyone can be a great wordsmith, and he is thought provoking (in a very good way).
