They suck, but we don't suck them

-- AstroHurricane001(T+C+U) 16:40, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak Oppose: For saying something of that nature about anyone, or saying that we don't insult them when one part of the motto is "They suck". ~ ΜΛGиυs ΛΠιмυМ ≈ √∞ 17:22, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Oppose as kind of a 'cult reference.' (But I get it!). —ScouterSig 16:13, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose Star Trek is not a cult. :-P I'm actually opposing this for a different reason, that being you can change policies and so forth if consensus about them changes. And Jimbo, as part of the Wikimedia Office, does have the authority to override consensus if need be. See WP:CON. I do like the motto (see my user page) but I just don't think it fits. Hersfold (talk/work) 20:15, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Edit 4: Why not? ~ Magnus animuM ≈ √∞ 16:59, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment, why not create four edits of one motto? Answer: because when the people that close mottoes come to a decision, it's impossible to decide because users support one version, and when new versions are made, nobody pays attention to them.

Remember the Titans

In the film, it talks about the discrimination/conflicts between black and white players, and the plot reveals us that for working together despite those differences, they succeed in most of the matches.

Oh, the irony. The links are a mix of ones relevant to the concept, and ones that roughly match the word they're linked from. Confusing Manifestation 23:02, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

So, does this make much difference from a strong support? I heard you're only supposed to vote once, so isn't this cheating? I mean, what if someone put "Extreme infinite support x 1x10"? Wouldn't that be cheating, if say, there were many opposes, then if it were infinite, that one vote would cause all other votes to be obsolete? So, would it be more appropriate if you put "very strong support"? Thanks. -- AstroHurricane001(T+C+U) 17:44, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
