: Voltaire is more deserving of mortality and the sooner the better.
I think he was mortalized some time ago.
: Occasionally the ramblings of morons are interpreted as genius by intelligence impaired sheep.
I remember Phartinoogan saying much the same about Roshambollah.
: "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."
: What sort of twaddle is that? Ask Arbiter, who has surrupticiously attempted to censor my posts through indirect threats.
Threats? When did I . . . ? Oh! I see! There seems to be a misunderstanding here. That was not a threat. What did I threaten you with. Really, Custardchuk, while I recall using threats against the Circle of Five some time ago, have I ever demonstrated talent at "indirect" statements of any kind? I'm sorry I seem to have offended you; my intentions were good. I'll tell you what: if you come for the Christmas Party, I'll buy you a beverage of your choice afterward.
: Win or lose, we can put Voltaire in his deserved box and bury him where the sun don't shine.
I think that's been done already. Not that I entirely disagree with the sentiments behind that oft-quoted statement, mind you. Unless a man or woman is free to speak his or her mind, how will I know if he or she is a rambling moron or a genius?
