"...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

I'm almost afraid to look for a post by myself there, as it's too close to my n00b period for comfort....

EDIT: It appears that was after my n00b period, thankfully. However, reading that thread has raised this question: WTF ever happened to wEvil?

There were others here. I have at least 3 posts in that thread, it being about 3 months or so of me joining. On a side note, I was hosted rather quickly after joining the community, wasn't I?

Hmm, that was back when I was registered here but mainly hung around the VBB.

Wow, been a while since then...
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

I just realized something: That's back when Maeg was not an admin, but instead a member of my staff :p

Like that guy "QXMX" appears as a guest to me. It could be just that his account was deleted. Also there are people with less than 20 posts who have titles.

I know there was never custom titles, but they were given much more freely before.  Also, it's possible that people like QXMX either had their name changed or had their accounts lost between when the post was made and when the forum switched from UBB to VBB.

Ohhh, that makes some sense. :)
UBB you say? Now that I come to think of it I may have visited this place long before I joined (2001ish) because I remember the UBB interface. Wow.  I guess it isnt deja vu after all.
