I didn't see that it had been resolved, and no-one had addressed what I was talking about. Sorry if I joined the conversation late, but I'm talking about a prevailing attitude that exists regardless of whether the issue existed or not.[/QUOTE]I guess it's a non-issue in the sense that Z has canned the idea of paying for special member ranks in any case.

I recommended it be canned as well (both here and on email) not only because I also think it can be interpreted by people as being elitist, but because the fact that a considerable number of people are against it means that it will never fly.

Who is right or wrong is irrelevant here, Yorick - what is relevant is public opinion is against it, and that makes the decision pretty simple in the end.

Since it's not a goer anyway, debating the pros and cons won't add much value - unless you're just out for a good stoush, mate. But now's probably not the time and place for it.

I take it from that that because I have a problem with it I am unenlightened? Or perhaps I just have a different perspective due to my social background, which of course can easily be dismissed out of hand. Because everyone knows poor people are stupid, otherwise they'd be rich, wouldn't they?

Perhaps we should just have 2 ranks - 'Enlightened Brotherhood' and 'The Great Unwashed'. No guesses as to which I'd be in.

But you are wrong about one thing...we would need 3 classes [img]smile.gif[/img] The enlightend, the heathen, and the GD(*^&*(&*(&(* Conservative republicans [img]smile.gif[/img] heheheh

What is this? What are you doing, mreball?

If you're testing an image, mind creating a thread for it and deleting it once you've got it working? It's not the best manners to test in the middle of a discussion thread.

So let's look at this bizarre situation. Now people are making a big deal over me saying it's not a big deal.

I was neither for nor against! You're attacking Switzerland! All I was suggesting was that people GET SOME PERSPECTIVE. Sheesh.

Can I remind people that the best way to let something drop is to not post? There's been now what seven posts saying to drop it!

As I said.

Sorry for entering the conversation late. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Guys, PLEASE do not interrupt the flow of a thread to test a sig image. As Memnoch says, create a test thread and delete it once you get the sig the way you want it to do so.

Interrupting a thread to do that is like walking between two people engaged in a conversation, breaking wind really loudly, and then walking off without saying "Whoops!" or "'Scuse me!" [img]tongue.gif[/img]

There, now Epona, any one of these fine gentlemen or that gasping one over there who somehow escaped the group goose..er hug.. is available to help close the door on the debate. I'm ordering up the party favors... you think they should be MOUSE on a mousepad or Z on a coaster? Hmmm.. you know.. a genie keyring'd be cute... how about BK and LS on boxers...

Sazzie! The vulture is cracking me up!
