You've admitted you have a bias. That's good! You've taken your first step into a larger world.

I also don't see why anyone would say that TFN has anything against people who just like the O-OT.

Did you watch Seinfeld, Gomer? There was an episode where George had taken to urinating in the shower at the gym. Elaine thought it was disgusting, George argued that the drain was right there and drainage all runs into the same place. The discussion reached a fever pitch when George was about to call a plumber to try and settle the issue of where shower drainage goes versus where toilet drainage goes. Jerry, quite reasonably, stopped George from placing the call, as it was pointless to go to that kind of trouble to prove a very irrelevant point.

This is where you and I are, Gomer. I could spend lots of time, poring over hundreds of archived pages, using direct quotes, showing where pro-OUT members of thefarce.net were suppressed and the PT fans enjoyed free reign. You could also spend lots of time trying to convince me that my experience isn't what I thought it was, but in either case that is simply precious time spent calling the plumber over nothing at all.

Therefore, I propose the following:

You, Go-Mer-Tonic, agree to accept in good faith that I feel discriminated against at thefarce.net, and I, vote_for_palpatine, will accept in good faith that you feel that we OUT fans can't handle opposing viewpoints. After all, it's in your sig - "Your focus determines your reality."

This, then, brings us back to my post about the ten-year rift of Star Wars fandom. My argument was that all fans - OUT, SE, PT, Holiday Special - should have places to go. The impression I got, by the name

ORIGINAL TRILOGY .COM

was that this site was for OUT fans.

Imagine my surprise and disappointment when I see people on this board who, by their own admitted bias, do not belong here.

My argument is that it is troll behavior to go to a board whose bias is in obvious conflict with yours and argue for the opposite. It's wrong. I don't do it because fans at prequeltrilogy.com don't want to hear me attack their movies and challenge their views. That's a rest area for PT fans, away from the dark doings of us OUT fans.

Gomer, despite your "Poor ol' persecuted me" act, I didn't call for your ban at thefarce.net; you may recall that you and I have had discussions a time or two. It was a civil discussion, you argued well (as you often do) and we both managed to state our case with clarity. (Darth Butt must have been asleep at the switch) You were in your element there and if they banned you, I believe they made a mistake. That board is much more your board than it is mine. However, I don't like that you're selling the same Kool-Aid here that you do there.
