Hoi,
There is this rule; ignore all rules. There is a point to it. Particularly
in situations where an injustice is likely to happen, the blind following of
rules can be quite inhuman and at best an excuse for not thinking through

to our projects. In my opinion we need an Iranian chapter as much as
So we don't believe in freedom of expression?
When somebody in a position of authority abuses that power and
discriminates, yes, their power should be removed and possibly they

Hoi,
There are valid reasons why you might be against this candidate. However,
when arguments are used that you *can not* agree with, you should speak and
