[Request] Dedication?

Post by Keevan_Colton »

Einhander sent me this and asked me to forward it on to the senate:

I would like to have this brought before the Senate as a dedication message for the MOTD. Insert more soldiers' names and warzones as you see fit.

Since a large proportion of the board's population is not religious, saying they're "in our prayers" would be inappropriate. Something like "You are in our thoughts and prayers" or just "thoughts" would be better.

Thoughts and prayers nicely covers everyone, so I support that.

I am vetoing the word "Prayers" in big bold letters at the top of my forum. Find another way to say it.

Mike had a simular banner some time ago for Wilson and Greg, if one needs or wants to have it back, jut blow the dust off of it and subsitute the names to reflect who's currently in the sandbox.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

That's pretty appropriate, considering Talen's attitude toward religion. "Thoughts and best wishes" would probably work quite well.

LadyTevar:

I'd like to express my support for your suggestion of "Come Home Safe" for the board dedication. You can of course bring that up in the Senate.

We have support from some of the troops as well.

OK, I changed it. If there are any improvements to be made to the wording, let me know.

Nice and classy. Thanks, Mike. It meant a lot to me when I was mentioned in the banner and as more SDNetters deployed there, we were all given a hail. Things like that mean a lot.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."

In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

Enforcer Talen has already seen it, which makes me glad.

Is it also possible that we could put a "Get Well" message up there for DPDarkPrimus, since he's sick in the hospital right now?
