Can we haz mission statement?
Mission in action?
Mission imposition?
Missionaries: The Cookbook?
Mission you already?
Nocturnal e-Mission?
Mish in position?
Noooo....
Our mission is super secret!!!!
There was once a man who knew what our mission was, so we killed him.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Oh for fuck's sake, stop the high-horsing.
We are not 'all one'. Not even amongst the 'old guard' are we 'all one'.
Secondly, if they want to bitch about Ratskep here, whether or not it's the right thing is irrelevant, they're entitled to do it. If they feel they can't do it over there, then they can bring their nonsense and their baggage over here and do it in a nice, tucked away little corner which you should be able to opt out of if you don't want to deal with it.
Hopefully misconceptions will be cleared up and they'll move on, or maybe not. Who knows and who cares?

Maybe we can find some cheese-flavored lard. Lard-flavored cheese?
