"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Why is it nobody read the fact that I wrote it up?

If you have a question about particular wording in the statement, contact Kalfireth, as he took the time to write it up.


Your hailing is misdirected, thankyou very much :p

We read it, we just didn't know who 'Kalfireth' was.

I had no idea that the definitions of neutrality and apathy were interchangeable.  I am so much more informed now.

I think it's along the lines of all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are square. All apathy is neutral, but not all neutrality is apathetic.

Neutrality is a choice, apathy is a state of mind.

That's right. It's quite a weighty decision that we made - and we still stand by it. As Styxx said, we will not act upon empty propositions. The recent events with Smart's apparent backing-down, as well as industry opinion, bear witness to the unlikeliness of anything happening to the IP.
