In reply to: FawnDoo 's message, "WarCore, a word please" on 15:34:07 03/11/03 Tue

...WarCore. Yes, he used some ill-mannered language which should be considered out-of-bounds in civilized discussion. He also set up enough straw men to personally take over Iraq himself (though he isn't the first to do so here). But he also raised a lot of very excellent points, some of the strongest, most intelligent posts in support for the U.S. position. WarCore, I personally am glad you've contributed and very much hope you stick around a while, though I do hope that in the future you take a few deep breaths before responding.

...and FawnDoo. Being a board admin myself (*cough, cough* Iacon Literary Society *cough* Link at top of main page *cough* shameless plug *cough, cough*) I can sympathize. I while back I was faced with a similar situation, where a poster made a political statement which I disagreed with and which also contained some tiny bits which violated board rules (at two small points in his argument he crossed the line over into racism). I did the best I could to edit out the tiny offensive portions while preserving his otherwise sincere and well-thought-out argument (an option that might not be available with VOY) and gave him a warning. Even though I very much disagreed with him, I wanted him to be able to make his point and for others to be able to read it. I believe that FawnDoo desires the same thing here.
