so lemme get this straight: some guys are coming into the space and leeching power, internet, and physical space, for the sake of playing a game? hot piss i'm coming over! i'll bring my sleeping bag and seed some torrents to get my ratio up (actually since that'd prolly slow my tower i'll bring one or two separate towers for that task. just tell me if you want something of yours seeded and i'll see what i can do). who said the space is meant for purely productive activities?<div>
<br></div><div>YEAH COMMON RUBIN LIGHTEN UP YA OLD MAN LOL WE'RE ONLY USING THE SPACE FOR UNPRODUCTIVE PERSONAL USE WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? I'M ON YOUR LAWN NOT GETTIN' OFF HA HA.</div><div><br></div><div>also why only zergspace? how about WoWspace? CODspace? oh oh Unrealspace (i like the sound of that one). i'm sure we can fit a class or two in about pwning bitches. makes it legitimate, yeah?<br>

</div>Actually if I don't like something it does make it invalid to me, which<br>
is why I more or less stated that in my previous email.<br>
<br>
Non-excellent behavior is in the eye of the beholder my friend.<br>

</div>I am talking to you, over this list, as it pertains to the space, giving<br>
you and the group you're involved with to come up with articulate<br>
responses, such as this.<br>
<br>
Considering that the 10something people who came up to me after I fired<br>
off my initial email regarding this, all agreed with my view point and<br>
more or less said "I've been wanting to say something to them for a<br>
while" if this was a battle I haven't had anyone come by and punch me in<br>
the face then call the cops in the name of France yet.<br>

</div>My pubes are on the wiki, though I've been told I'm not allowed to flash<br>
them in the space anymore, as it turns out they're not currently part of<br>
any creative projects.<br>
