I'd just like to say that this has been one of the greatest examples of why I love this forum. From the majority of posters, I saw clarity, reason, logic, emotion, excellent grammar, all the good stuff.
Even though they were annoying, I doubt that we would have seen as much good stuff if it weren't for Trashman and deathfun taking the other side of the argument; it drew out all the impassioned writing.

I wanted to chime in earlier, but I was sure that there wasn't anything I could say that hadn't already been said, and better.

I think that in the end the casual use of certain words desensitizes us to the true horror of the act.  In much the same way that we've been desensitizes to the horrors of violence through a number of media.

I was going to elaborate, but but that sums it up.
You can't take the sky from me.  Can't take that from me.

OH right. Trashman can apperently not reply in Gen. Disc. Sorry about that - It is rather unwise to quote a post and then reply to it 6 pages later, but i just wanted to make my points.

EDIT: I recall that someone mentioned that we had "lost a member" due to the careless atitude displayed towards women... who was that? -Sara-?

I think that was Rian.

As for me, I'm well. :yes: But I'm taking a big step back from gaming and online communities. I'll be 26 this year and I really want to finish college, earn a little to get myself a nice place to call home, maybe get involved in a serious relationship, who knows! I know too many guys and girls past the age of 30 who spend all day on forums and facebook, either working at a 7-11 store or living of benefits. I'm not going to be like that.

I'll be around, just not that often. :)

It means that Sara loves working on Fred 2, the Freespace editor.

Edit: Because 'Sara loves working on Fred' sounded completely wrong for some reason :nervous:
