I adore all of you people, really I do. From the bottom of my chaos Eris<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eris_%28mythology%29>loving heart...
Do you want me to try to develop a Religion-L list? Because I have no shame in bringing out the WIKILOVE to make you people all snuggly and content with fighting the good fight against systematic bias in Wikimedia, and that can include religion of course. ;D Btw, I believe Orange Mike is Quaker, if I read his previous added touch to his signature. I'm sorry we lost Arnaud over a conversation like this, the power of conversation is that people do disagree, and sometimes people don't quite like disagreement. One bizarre thing about Wikimedia lists is that no matter how much shit slinging (or "Gods-slinging?" heh! I kid.I kid...) people generally still like each other at the end of the day. Generally, being the key word, and "like" is a loosely used term. So calm down..calm down. Just like sex...whatever you're into..you're into..as long as you're not forcing me into it against my own will! xo --Sarah On Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 10:26 PM, Michael J.
