Re: Yuri's slander

I don't know why Trice needs to go after us....but this characterization is way 
off.

Well, dumbass, we weren't saying just using Southeast Asian Nations over a list 
was better.  In our post we pointed out that the committee had ruled out using a 
list because it was too long and made topics wordy and unaccessable to novices. 
The options left were saying ASEAN Member States vs. Southeast Asian Nations.  
The chair of the committee REQUESTED....ASKED....us to pose the question to the 
community to get feedback.  Well, after that and some discussion the following 
day a decission was to use a list with a modifier to avoid the problem all 
together.  Don't mischaracterize our post.  What you're saying above is JUST 
PLAIN WRONG!  Go back and re-read our post from Chicago and you'll see that we 
felt a list topic was unlikely to come out of the committee so we were
simply trying to spark a discussion about the two options left.  We liked the 
list best.....just didn't think it was realistic AT THAT POINT.

Screw you, Trice.  What the hell did we do to deserve your shit?  We went to an
OPEN DOOR topic meeting.  You could've gone too.  You should if you feel your
interests are being maligned by people who actually DO show up.  		
I don't see the big deal....and I don't understand why you wanna go at it with 
us over it.  What's the deal?
