I believe [thread=373702]this[/thread] is the thread you’re talking about, **Polycarp**. It’s actually from 2006. Interestingly enough it seems that I posted in it; I had no memory of this fact. There’s also an associated Pit thread, but since all this business is quite old I won’t link to it. ETA: Not only did I post in this thread, but I almost got into a debate with **Cerowyn** myself. I guess that’s why they say not to bring politics in GQ. ---
