People come on here as conspiracy theorists or "institutionalized" ,and currently each side is taking these ideas too seriously. Am I mocking them? Yes. Do they deserve to be mockied for being so serious on an internet game forum? Imo, yes.
Sorry, that's the way the cookie crumbles.

With all the text we've written on the issue, we could make a book. Or a serious booster seat, depending on your use for it. And I'm sick of seeing the same things rehashed over and over again when it isn't going to change a thing. Hence, my awarding of the award to all involved in the thread.

Its the debate forum section. It doesn't matter if a debate took place in a proper forum, starbucks or some other place. Its the debate forum section. People are free to debate whatsoever they choose to regardless of the time or place. Your mockery of the ideas, convictions and beliefs is out of line.
** edit - I am not looking for you to remove or undo this. I just wanted you to know how I feel about you doing something like this especially since you are one of the few people whom I have total respect for in this game. I hardly expected you to do this. What you have done feels like betrayal, as far as I am concerned; especially since we both come from Respect!.
