Hello Björn!

17 Mar 05 18:34, you wrote to me:

You really dont know, geesh..

Every election in which there is more than one possible outcome, the losing
side (in this case yours) will not always see eye to eye with the side that
prevailed.. Ideally they accept it and move on, but they certainly wont
celebrate the fact that their cause or candidate lost.

Lets look at the last several POTUS elections..

Were Carter supporters thrilled when Reagan beat him in 1980?

Were Mondale supporters thrilled when Reagan beat him in 1984?

Were Dukakis supporters thrilled when Bush Sr beat him in 1988?

Were Bush Sr supporters thrilled when Clinton beat him in 1992?

Were Dole supporters thrilled when Clinton beat him in 1996?

Were Gore supporters thrilled when Bush Jr beat him in 2000 (controversy aside)

Were Kerry supporters thrilled when Bush Jr beat him in 2004?

Want me to list Swedish parliamentary elections?

Like was Sven politician supporters thrilled when Bjorn politician beat him in
whatever election?

Lets look at a similiar concept in sports, are you fucking filled with elation
when your national football (soccer) team gets beaten by another nations team?

and dont fucking bellyache about rigged elections, your beloved Ward decided
after the ZCC elected to replace him to come up with mentally retarded but
typically European commie/socialist methods to decide what a majority is, he
decided that in a body of 6, his vote of one constitutes a majority, even if
the other 5 voted contrary. Yeah you have the unmitigated gaul to defend this
shit, but hey, dictatorships, imperialism and royalty worshipping is very ripe
in your history over there in the still under-developed part of the world
infested with that EU blight.

 RC>> Just because things dont always turn out as one hopes doesnt make
 RC>> their cries of protestation correct.

 BF>    Do you really mean that? Can you honestly say that you think, that
 BF> the vdVlist vs. Witt affair, and then the so called IC election, was
 BF> really kosher? Surely your personal integrity goes way above such
 BF> claims, or are you once again going to disappoint me?

I suppose you want me to go out of the way to say what you want to hear by
saying that all the other ZC's should have bowed to Wards greatness by doing
nothing as he ignored facts and showed bias toward his own zone and against
others, sorry bubba. You know me to well that I wont agree with you, I opposed
Wards initial election as IC, ask any Z1 RC at the time and ye shall know.

Ward should have refused to hear the Vlist appeal, just like he should never
have threatened Z2 RC's with removal over a feeble policy ammendment attempt,
nor should he have pulled that shit with Steven Leeman.

The bottom line is, that outside of your Zone, Ward wont be the one consulted
as the IC, now ball up your tiny little fists, get your face red and have a
tantrum! Inside your zone, I dare say anyone attempting to go past him would
face retribution from him.

I am who I am, I dont want your respect if you cant get past the fact that you
are wrong.
