If we could only answer with out treading on one of our many prime directives... that I can't is more hilarious than anything in your post.
It's is nice to see EA growing some balls, we are always consistent in our inconsistency. Wait no we aren't you seemed to have missed the part about pond scum, this thread is a great example of that. We are way more upset when someone goes after another, behind some cloak of lies, than if you went after me directly for example. EA I refer to myself as a murdering rat bastard all the time. Not just because it is true, but to provide balance when referring to someone else in a less than kindly manner. It helps define the field of play.
I can see the discomfort that Sweet Mandy feels and want to ease it, without becoming a fan of race baiting. If you want to dance with me on that issue EA then you are going to have to cowgirl up and bring some game, I promise it will not end well however fond we may be of you. Maybe it is time for you to come to the Island and test those new found balls of yours.

It allows them to react in a logical manner.
Too many times people let their emotions get in the way of "seeing the light".
You're more than welcome to invite me to the island however I doubt you'll see me there. We all know that I spend more time on this site than actually working so if I add another site to the mix I might actually get fired....lol. Most if not all of you know just how true that statement is.
As far as something not ending well..... What's the worst that could happen. A meltdown on an SHMB. I think we all know that it is not the end of the world to have a meltdown on here. Hey I'm always quick to admit when I'm missing something. I saw some really cool posts in this thread. WU's is one of them.....
The balls have always been there my friend
