[QUOTE="Wolfspider, post: 97152, member: 300"] Oh, that's very clever! Although it does break the rules about abbreviations...but I still like it. It's just the kind of personal attack that gets my blood pumping! :D Let me tell you a story about something that happened to me once. I joined a Dark Crystal mailing list because I loved the movie and wanted to share opinions and thoughts with other fans. For a few weeks everything was just as I had imagined it would be--a virtual paradise for Gelfling fetishists. ;) Then this one guy posted a message saying how much he hated the movie and gave a lot of really damning reasons why. Similar to how you seem to view my comments here, I thought this condemnation was out of place, and I flat out told him that if he didn't like Dark Crystal, then he shouldn't rain on our parade. I said that he was just here to stir up trouble. And you know what happened? [b]I got banned from the list.[/b] I was shocked. Then the mod sent me a note explaining why he had banned me. He believed that a person could post whatever opinion he or she had about the film, positive or negative, and that I was trying to squelch another poster's beliefs. Although at first I was sore, I have since realized that it was a admirable thing to do. The owner of the list really had ethical standards that I proved lacking in my own character. Imagine that! Defending the right to freedom of speech. Wow...what a concept! :D Post Count in this Thread: 15 [/QUOTE]
