So what does happen if a thread drifts from lounginess into politics - but then meanders further into mactechiness? One of the forums I visit has the capacity to 'split' a post off and relocate the 'off-topic' part to its own thread in the most suitable place. Wouldn't that be fun?<br>Props to you for making this such a multidisciplinary experience... <br><br>[color:purple]A lopsided man runs best along the little side-hills of success<br>- Frank Moore Colby</font color=purple>

i said earlier elsewhere i have no problem with the name. and i am not advocating or lobbying for anything. k? i support eck, yes, but i have no "horse in the race" as they say. a minor distinction but a distinction just the same; especially where it comes to characterization of my positions by others --even via association. if you're going to associate me do it correctly, please.<br><br>thank you, as you were.<br><br>btw, fyi, whether one knows one is standing upon stigma/discrimination, etc. (your soapbox) is irrelevant and offers no relief to those who believe the may be affected, regarding: I don't imagine the folks standing on their soapboxes in Hyde Park consider it demeaning. i.e., mb those are not are prejudiced bigots or just idiots, who knows.<br><br>again i have NO problem with it, at least mb NOW (mb not i guess i HAVE to now i'll start to think about it decide it is stigmatizing, so far i haven't thought about it nor researched it here or elsewhere.<br><br><br><br>"in times of peace the warlike man attacks himself."<br><br>[color:red]Libertarian Communist</font color=red><P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by ichi on 01/22/08 04:46 PM (server time).</EM></FONT></P>

I don't relish combining any of the forums. I now check the tech section much more. <br><br>as i understand *this thread* in its original intent: that forum [tech] would remain unchanged.<br><br><br><br>"in times of peace the warlike man attacks himself."<br><br>[color:red]Libertarian Communist</font color=red>

yoyo did a very good job of explaining the concept of the name.<br><br>how does s/he know he intent of the naming?<br><br>You assume that those of us that enjoy the Box should agree that the name is somehow offensive and discourages other folks from joining in the political discussions. You assume an awful lot. yoyo did a very good job of explaining the concept of the name. Nobody, until you began to complain, has suggested the "name" is inappropriate. Nor do we feel marginalized by discussing politics in a separate room. You assume we do.<br><br>those is ALL your assumptions. do you see somewhere where eck said you should agree with him?<br><br>i understand that you're acting out of anger though, no problem. i've acted the same way many times.<br><br>fyi, whenever you say "we" someone or some group is being left out aren't they? using "we" there must be some other.<br><br>i would think the idea of community or society is to unite not divide, granted MM is not such an entity.. it is private... even you are "other" here. i guess get used to it.<br>me? i could care less. <br><br><br><br>"in times of peace the warlike man attacks himself."<br><br>[color:red]Libertarian Communist</font color=red>
