Ko... "Four bags, a suitcase, and seven bannings ago.... Our for-umites brought forth upon this site, a new violation.... Conceived in idiocy, and dedicated to the preposition that not ALL members are created equal... And now we are engaged in a great uncivil discourse, Testing wether this forum or indeed, any forum, so percieved and so dedicated to the exposition of administerial disdain can long oudure. We are met in a great thread of this debate. We have come to dedicate a portion of this thread as the final suppository for those who here gave their all that this thread might live. It is alltogether fitting that we should do this. But - in a larger sense, we cannot predicate, we cannot punctuate, we cannot hallow these threads.... The brave men, both living and brain dead, who have driveled here have rendered it far beyond our poor powers to add, detract, or be fruitful and multiply. The larger world may little note what we have spewed here, but it shall long remember those who duffled long in this endeavor. And the duffers that endeavored. It is for us the livid rather to be predicated here to the unfinshed works for which those who fought here have thus far unobly deffered. It is rather for us to be here rededicated to these great tasks remaining before us -- that from these the honored banned we take increased demotions in that great cause for which they gave the last ful measure of defiance -- that we here highly resolve that these banned shall not have whittered in vain, nor in any vein, that thee threads by God! shall know a new dearth of freedom, and that an Internet of the people, by the people, and for people shall NOT perish from the Web." By gods, it may not make much sense, but it sure sounds pompous. ;]
