yes, spex, anyone can log into chat any time and see the last 20-30 lines of chat from the previous discussion. it's kind of creepy to do if you weren't involved in the discussion, and you don't get a true sense of context for what you DO see there.

So..... what point are you trying to make exactly with all of this? Is there a chat conspiracy? Do you imagine that the regular chatters are talking about you behind your back? (regular chatters at this point is a very exclusive club) I suppose that I may have expressed some frustration or made some joke about another dweller at some point, and if you had access to ALL of the chat logs you might be able to read it..... You know what else? Me and jinx talk about you all the time too. We try to outdo each other with flowery descriptions of what a sick twisted weirdo you are.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. here you go dragging the same kind of shit that happens in the politics and current events forums out into the rest of the Cellar. What's sick, twisted, and weird is that you make me out to be the bad guy, when you did the deed. I just let everybody know. At least you lamely acknowledged what you've done.

BTW, who were the immature ones here? Who started with the insults? Who caled names?

So, what do I want the outcome to be? specifically, and generally.

Generally first:

1. I want the cellar to have a politics forum that facilitates the rational and respectful discussion of 'How humans control the powers that control them'

2. I want a Current Events forum that allows us all to 'Help understand the world by talking about things happening in it'

3. I want to be proud of my friends.

and then, Specifically:

1. I don't want to ban anyone....not even temporarily. I think that the ban hammer is a failure of the community to enfold and encourage the acceptance of all of our unique and individual brothers and sisters to this family.

2. I want TheMercenary, Redux, Classic, Spex, UG, Radar, UT, Shawnee, jinx, griff, Pie, and all y'all sisterfuckers to be more careful to respect each other's political beliefs. Treat it like a religion if it helps you to keep it in context. If you think about it, politics and religion are quite similar. As religions fall away, and Gods lose their power, they are incrementally replaced by political parties, and idealogies. So show the same respect you would if you were discussing religion with a Jew, or a Christian, or a Muslim, Hindu, Budhist, etc.

3. (someone take it from here....I've got to get to bed....

Maybe you should want this for the entire Cellar. Maybe you should behave in these ways yourself.

I am still trying to figure out what is so bad about those few lines from chat. Jim rickrolled me and I called him a mutherfucker. I even spelled it wrong, so he would know I was not truly mad. Just playing along.
