transgression against a fellow LUGNETter.  I would have (and probably will do
so) 'stood up' for anyone here, no matter who they are or what they may have
done in the past, if there was an injustice done to them.

I never said it was a very good joke, nor necessarily accurate. When you
mentioned community policing earlier in the thread, it just struck an ironic
chord with me.

...

The personalities and opinions and everything else added in is fine and dandy
for the individual, but justice has to be equally applied to everyone.  There
cannot be--how did Orwell put it--some that are 'more equal' than others.  By
the same token, there cannot be those that are 'less equal' than others because
of past (and forgiven) misdeeds.

That's where I take my stance.  That's where I pipe up.

And if I'm wrong--hey, I bet on the wrong 'underdog' and I'll take my medicine.
That's the 'community' part.  We all have an equal voice here.  That's one of
the best bits about LUGNET.

Anyway, I'd say more but, eh, whatever.... (1)

Well, at least someone's' taking this thread, and indeed Eric, seriously. I know
I'm not.
