You're probably right.  But what are you going to do, Gaol me?

I note that there have been many Witchhunts called, especially in the
early days of the Middle Ages, for statements only tangentially related to
the roundness of the Earth.  Since then, R1307 has been amended to take
out a clause which read "... states the Earth is round, or publically
implies that it is anything but flat..."

Even so, there have still been a few called recently against players who
did not flat-out (ha) state that the Earth was round.

I ask Slakko to please consider the spirit of the game before rashly
restricting the scope of this harfy Rule.

Or I'll BURN EM TOO!!!!

Nope, I'm just going to unburn the unfortunate unvictim.

While I think that his witchhunt was unjustly called, most witchhunts are
unjust.

You neglected to make an exception for Ackanomic Organizations leaving
Internomic. Not that the Church has and plans for doing so (I'm still on
Vacation - just popped in for a day, and realized I neglected to
unsubscribe acka-voting digest)

Come on Hubert Hubert, they are both members in good standing of the
Church of banna, burn 'em both!  The truth will come out, regardless!

Aaigh!  

I go to the Library and play "Light My Fire" by the Doors on the ASS. 
I stare unnaturally and discomfortingly at rufus while humming along
loudly and tunelessly with the part that says "Try to set that guy on
fire" or something to that effect.

Oh, I will.  Believe me, I will.  One at a time, though.  One must savor
these moments.

And I must say H*bert made it easy on Pandora; there has not been a CFJ 
for a long time which was as easy to decide upon.

I'll take a look at it.  At this point I'd rather just let this Proposal
go through and hope the Church doesn't leave...:-)
