Well I respectfully disagree; Ix, Caladan, Salusa and Kaitain.
This just in; "Topher is full of shit", and in foreign affairs, "AndrewR tries catch drift, misses". Stay tuned for more.

Matt: Whoa, religion is a touchy subject. Thread closed.
All: WTF??
Styro& Liz: BOO! YOU SUCK! PLUS, YOU'RE A KID!
Some: YEAH!
Doug: Whoa. That's a bit much.
S&L We're STILL MAD! AND don't ban us, or WE'RE GOING TO HACK THE BOARD ANYWAY!
Doug: Whoa. Banned.
L: HA! SEE? THAT WAS EASY! BUT NOW WE'RE GONE!
Doug: Door.
All: WTF??
Doug: That really wasn't necessary. On further reflection, maybe we did overreact. Thread reopened.
First of Two:This raises, actually, a fairly interesting question: Could Will alone allow someone to resist assimilation? I figure the Biblical Jesus gets a by on this. If he can conquer leprosy and cast out Demons, he could cast out nanoprobes. It's all part and parcel with being a Godlike being. IIRC, Q's cannot be assimilated. Probably holds true for all like species, even the ones able to take humanoid form : Organians, Douwd, etc. OTOH, what about a guy like "Flint" from "Requiem from Methuselah?" Effectively immortal? I say, at least a partial "yes," because part of that immortality seems to be a hyper-powered immune system, keeping one safe from plagues and the like. In fact, that's one of the upcoming surprises I have for my crew when they go off to fight the Borg in a few sessions. They'll have picked up an amnesiac NPC who's an immortal. (And who, if all goes to plan, will use his power and high will to temporarily resist assimilation long enough to foil the Borg) And all because one day, a line popped fully formed into my head: "Captain? I think... he's assimilating them. " Normal people, though, are probably S.O.L.
All: WTF???

Jesus Fuck: I realise you mean well but we so dont need a history of other board's overreactions, bannings, drama and assorted off-topic silliness.

Here's a list of people you can blame for my return. They're to blame
and, of course, Jay The Obscure, for trying to blame Loyalty Day on Bush in the Flameboard.
As for the "meltdown," IMNAAHO,
Everybody was wrong. Nobody wins.
(Except in the "winner thread" which I shall now win.)
