surely you can advocate for your side of an issue without calling your fellows cowards, rat b@stards, etc? Can’t you?
Cowardly it is to vote in such a way which retards the industry. I don’t relish the thought of hitching my wagon to another 2000 (~2/3 of the pilot group at spirit that voted yes) lemmings. I had greater hope for the spirit guys and am disappointed. We already have plenty uninformed lemmings here. Outside of that vote perhaps none of these labels apply, but in regards to your vote they do.
