Since my vote carries so much weight here I must wield the responsibility with wisdom, but having said that I haved decided to place my full support behind the drafting of Brinn to the service of moderator of the aforementioned "Think Tank". :D I trust that ends the discussion. :screwy:

You carry much sway, Tom, but you use it clumsily. I, on the other hand, weild my persuasion with the the mastery of... masters. And, let it be known, that I am not short of it, either. So, I say, Tom, it is time for battle! (or at least i would say that if we weren't on the same side ;)) Go Brinn!

Would that mean I'd have to refrain from yelling at Revan whenever he makes a foolish post?!?! ;) In all seriousness wouldn't you prefer someone more ahhh....neutral, more .....moderate? Are there any Swiss on the board???

In all seriousness, I'd be happy to Mod the forum if asked...Add Gunslinger as well...or Kin. Kin has always put up with my constant cross-examinations even though he is a bit of a conspiracy theorist. Gunslinger, although a relative newcomer, has brought some strong opinion to the Tank and managed to remain civil and courteous during our recent emotionally charged discussion. Either could provide a proper pacifistic, anti-American counter-balance for me! ;) Kidding of course. :haha:

Who is the new member who has the Masters in Poli Sci -- or some degree like that. Jemmy? He sounded both balanced and knowledgeable in the one long post of his that I read.

Jeremy Bloocher? He posted on the difference between shame based and guilt based societies...a very nice debut post.

That's right. I was impressed but didn't say so. Now I'm saying so. :)

I'm sure all the moderates and liberals that frequent the Think-Tank from time to time could keep you balanced Brinn. :D

You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

Well-crafted, Brinn. The sting of thy gauntlet upon my own cheek will not soon be forgotten!

The chiding was in jest, the suggestion was not. See y'all in the Tank!

A strange but enjoyably readable post Mr. Valdez. Good Luck on Mars, Beta Hydrochron 6, or wherever your travels take you!
