As a loose confederation of individuals united economically, we, Blacklist, as a group, may at times take stances on economic issues, however other issues are left to the individual. As an individual I would like to weigh in on the DQSP issue that has been going on.

DQSP, the way I see it, you have the right to:

• exist
• pursue happiness provided it does not unduly inhibit other's right to do the same
• voice your opinions in a public forum
• question and attack the opinions or behavior of others in a public forum

You should also be aware that others have a right to:

• exist
• pursue happiness as long as it does not unduly inhibit your right to do the same
• voice their opinions, including opinions derogatory towards you, in a public forum
• question and attack your opinions or behavior in a public forum

Nobody has a right to:

• attack anyone outside of the simulation (however it is important to note, that since you have willingly brought sexual orientation into the simulation, it is fair game for discussion)
• physically attack others who have not physically wronged them or their property

Having said that, by declaring war on the world, you have given people the right to perform acts of violence against you. I do not intend to do so, unless acts of violence are performed against me or my friends. When you threatened other's physical well being and the integrity of what they have built (their property), you have legally permitted them to defend such things by potentially lethal means if necessary. If someone attacks you because of this, I hope not to hear you calling for help. If you had not declared war, and do not proceed to commit acts of violence against people and their property I would be 100% cool with even your most outlandish opinions. I respect your individual right to free speech and freedom of association. I really do. I urge you to take the moral high ground, and continue to voice your opinions, without threats or acts of violence against persons or property. Let me reiterate once more, that unless acts of violence are perpetrated against me, my allies, or our property I will stay out of this conflict in every way other than ideology.
