the motto of the forum

[Shadow WarChief]

I was reading my text book for my civil war class, and I came upon this quote by an abolitionist speach in 1853

We have facts for those who think, arguments for those who reason; but he who cannot be reasoned out of his prejudices must be laughed out of them; he who cannot be argued out of his selfishness must be shamed out of it by the mirror of his hateful self held up relentlessly before his eyes.

Now does this quote not perfectly summarize these forums? I move that we make this our motto, or at least put it in our sigs when invading a trekkie-creationist board.

It does, as of late, considering all the trolls...

I second that.

Hey, wow! Our Econ department at University of the Pacific is in WPC (the Wendell Phillips Center). The things you learn on this board.

I concur. That's a great quote for SD.net.

I support the motion. I think we should put it in our sigs when invading Troll-Trekkie-Creatonist Boards
