Look at it from my point of view

Robert — 5/16/2006 4:43:59 PM (archived)

FWIW, to me Robert's tone was way off base.

Elisee arrives and posts several well-written essays on political topics, and seems likely to become a significant contributer...if he stays. DL leaps out of self-imposed exile to try and drive Elisee away before he can settle in, should he choose to. To me that's unwarranted interference in the HabitableZone; it's an attack on us.

DL was once a Zoner, but now he's taken a stand against the HabitableZone. Why should I welcome him?
