It may be possible that the light of a new dawn is shining on this great board.  
Aldebaran might be gone!!  
He hasn’t been posting in days.

We might be in luck.

No, Aldeberaan is far too remote to make an effective demonstration. But don’t worry, we’ll deal with your rebel friends soon enough.

Is **Aldebaran** ’s behaviour and dialogue an example of what psychologists call _Self-fulfilling prophecy_\*?

Kind of like if I walked into a pub in the rough part of town, late on Saturday night and shouted “I bet all you fucking ugly ignorant wankers are all going to beat me up now, I just know you are, because that’s what fucking ugly ignorant wankers do”

Well, more like 'You fucking American religious zealot pigs! You are stupid American religious zealot pig fuckers, and the very fact that you argue with me about the fact proves that you are indeed ugly stupid American religious zealot pigs!!!"

Ilsa: I think you left out “And you stupid American religious zealot pigs invaded a sovereign nation and for that you are thrice wrong although Iraq, when they invaded a sovereign nation were just trying to help out you stupid American religious zealot pigs who’re really ruled by those zionists in Israel!”

Good one! I see that we could have some serious fun with that, but alas I’m in the middle of doing laundry and research for a term paper (nope, sadly they’re not related).
