Well, crap. Cheri already said everything I was gonna say. Now I gotta come up with something. Got a reputation to uphold and all that, dontcha know. The only thing I'd add (and in my best Al Sharpton impression) would be that I think it's unconscionable! and deplorable! that a moderator of...

If you need help in learning how to send a fellow EO member an e-mail or a PM, just let me know and I'll be happy to walk you though the procedure. :D

I would call them deeply interested and passionate about a subject that is making headlines all over the world. What would you call someone who starts an entire thread about one particular individual, designed as nothing more than a backdoor personal attack to solicit negative comments about...

Not really. Bringing something about someone into the current thread from outside the thread, either from another thread or from a PM or real life, in order to use it against a person in lieu of dealing with the issues at hand, usually tends to be more of an adhominem attack rather than a troll...

That's part of that whole dragging into the current thread, something from outside, ah, never mind. <shrug> <sigh> Whatayagonnado. As for the flying Pigs.... Downtown Cincinnati, Fountain Square, they always have flying pigs there.

It's probably better to hear in person or on the phone. Here online we're just jackin' each other's chain. He's takin' one side, I'm takin' the other, both unmovable and unyielding in positions, regardless of where we actually stand. :D Personally, I think the actually reality of it all is...

There's no time limit on correcting an injustice. The Pope pardoned Galileo on October 31, 1992, 360 years after his trial.

Here ya go :D YouTube - Wikileaks keeps on publishing despite arrest

No, we didn't get that. Are you that dense? What we got was, a good example of a question better suited for a PM, considering, you know, that I hadn't posted in this thread and have no comment, and our previous conversation was, you know, in a different thread. We didn't get any of the other...

Considering how closely tied Wikileaks and Assange are, it's not really a stretch at all to consider them one in the same, despite the fact that they are obviously different. Just like Microsoft and Bill Gates, or Steve Jobs and Apple. As for Buhzinga ! (it's actually Bazinga) No, Leo, it's...

Read it, commented on it. That's part of why I think it smells fishy. But I will concede that it may smell that way to me simply because I don't understand Swedish laws or the Swedish mindset. But still, if not fishy, then it's at least a little weird how this whole thing is playing out. It...

"First, the U.S. government pushed WikiLeaks off the servers of Amazon, its U.S. host — thanks in part to an effort by the office of Senator Joe Lieberman, who heads the Senate Homeland Security Committee." That's an opinion, not a fact. The facts are disputed. Amazon, in fact, flatly denies...

You keep saying "Statement of an OPINION as ABSOLUTE FACT" but that's not the case at all. In fact, that very statement is merely your opinion stated as fact. I state my opinion as my opinion, without alluding in any way that my opinion is an absolute fact, other than it's an absolute fact that...

"I'll give you a winter prediction: It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be gray, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life." - Phil Connors

The whole Swedish rape charge thing smells a little fishy (sorry, couldn't help myself). But that's because we (I) are applying our own "common" sense to the matter. When you find out a little bit more about the whole rape deal in Sweden, it's smells less fishy. Still somewhat weird, maybe, but...

The Espionage Act makes it a crime for... "Whoever knowingly and willfully communicates, furnishes, transmits, or otherwise makes available to an unauthorized person, or publishes, or uses in any manner prejudicial to the safety or interest of the United States or for the benefit of any...

Uhm, well, I'm gonna go with, "because of our conversation a while back about the death penalty." So you've circled back to your original post in the thread. You brought me into this thread because of the discussion we had in a different thread, and you wanted to bring that discussion into...

No "secret" facilities, for sure. Some are wildly in the public domain, some are not necessarily all that well known, and certainly not very well known to be of any importance to the US. Correct. The State Department (Hilary) asked various diplomats to each come up on their own with a list of...

Congrats! You've succeeded in changing my mind.
