I was just wondering. :-)
-
If he's fixed and had his shots, I don't see the harm.
-
I've never liked anything tainted in Nagant
-
the votes are anonymous . . . .
-
Keep him.
*Red*
-
I don't care either way.
-
I voted "yes".
-
Who?
What inspired the question?
Not trying to be a jerk here, asking out of ignorence. :p
-
Yes, keep him.
Ok, this is my first time voting anyone off...like on Survivor.
-
You're just :fuelfire: aint'cha.
Sure, keep him. :-)
-
I voted for him to stay.
-
I wonder what asdf might say.....

Outside the fight club I have no comment.
But I voted. ;)

As long as you walk it, feed it and clean up after it, you can keep it. :-) :-)

Show him the airlock.

I dunno.
I'm kind of a stickler for observing the rules; in fact in real life there's some who say I can be a real jerk about this, following the rules.
As I interpret the rules, (a) no troop bashing, (b) no harassing other members, and (c) some rule cited by either Full-Auto or lug-nut (I forget which) a long time ago; I forget what it was, although it does seem an important rule. (I forgot what it was because while important, it was one of those things rarely done.)
I haven't seen John Matrix violate any of those rules.

it was just a little fun at his expense, Frank. he was never in danger. :-)

Well, of course, I thought so, being among ladies of good breeding and gentlemen.
Any time there's a number of people involved in something, there's likely to be friction.
Unlike what the primitives believe, "friction" is good. Without friction, nothing moves.
An indeniable law of natural physics.
When dealing with friction, one has to determine (a) if the friction might perhaps be too much or (b) if the friction is something irrelevant for that purpose this number of people has gotten together.
I suspect (b) is the case here.
As a disclaimer, I must point out that I myself am oftentimes the cause of friction, in real life.
Being deaf, to me, too much of the time people seem to be listless and unanimated; I don't "get" anything out of them. Of course, people AREN'T listless and unanimated; it's just that I can't hear them, and so from appearances, to me they APPEAR to be that way.
And so when bored, I tend to create friction; I have been justifiably accused of cold-bloodedly and deliberately creating friction, such as putting someone in an utterly preposterous (but harmless) situation, just to see how he will react, I hope in a manner that is expressible enough I can "hear" it.
Unlike the primitives, I don't say or do things to shock or offend, this "in your face" stuff. It's more subtle, gentle, and courteous than that.
Sometimes it's like tickling the tail of a dragon, but thus far I've survived.
However, on the Head of St. John the Baptist, I swear--and I'm sure God knows--that such is not malicious in nature.
People in real life who have known me for a moderate or long time know the "game;" their attitude being, well, I'm just going to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
That's my attitude when watching John Matrix and other members here interact among each other; the friction has nothing to do with why we're all here. But rather than being irritated by it, I just sit back and watch the show. It's very interesting.

which brings to mind one of my all-time favorite physics trivia questions:
Q: what makes a ball roll?
A: friction. otherwise, it would slide.
