I'm with MSFITOY though, I think I may be speaking out too much against NAM in this matter haha..

I like the quote that goes something like this "People should not be afraid of their government. A government should be afraid of its people" - V for Vendetta

Still not sure how that applies here but it made sense in my head... O yea, cause MSFITOY said he was going to be silenced lol

wait a minute. you can get any thread deleted by mentioning a banned member? so what happens if i mentioned a banned in this thread, or one of the mods mentioned one, would you mods have to terminate yourselves?thats some deep thinking (for me at least)
