<p>I understood the point of the comment, even though I don't really agree with it. Mostly I was just curious if that was your personal opinion or the stated opinion of the person you were interviewing.</p>
<p>It seems some folks still don't understand that is all I wanted to know, and are misenterpreting my comments in a hostile fashion. ^.^;;</p>Hamlet Au commented on 'GUARDING DARFUR'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef00d834bc7fa269e22006-05-02T01:00:07Z2007-08-18T23:27:43ZHamlet AuKallfunahuel Matador's Comments deleted at his request.

<p>Yes, in that passage, I was stating my personal opinion about intervening in the real Darfur, especially in comparison to, say, sending terse e-mails to the Sudanese embassy. (Though to be sure, in the best possible world, there'd be no reason to intervene at all.) I didn't discuss the Green Lantern's opinion of what should be done in the Suden, other than wanting the genocide to stop. </p>AnonyLantern :D commented on 'GUARDING DARFUR'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef00d834bc7dd469e22006-05-02T00:21:48Z2007-08-18T22:51:05ZAnonyLantern :DWe definitely do stay within the terms of service.

To paraphrase Hamlet, we try to stand in the gap until the Lindens can help, by helping citizens and making sure things get reported, and maybe even more importantly, offering a shoulder to lean on in times of need. </p>Lizbeth Marlowe commented on 'GUARDING DARFUR'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef00d834bc7b9369e22006-05-01T23:28:59Z2007-08-18T23:26:20ZLizbeth MarloweRelee, you said, "I'm curious though Hammy, was the military intervention your idea of a better world, or Matador's?" ......<p>Relee, you said, "I'm curious though Hammy, was the military intervention your idea of a better world, or Matador's?"</p>
<p>... </p>
<p>So now you are asking if it was Hamlet's or Matador's idea? Who writes the articles for this blog?</p>
<p>And still you don't get it. Reread that paragraph a few more times and maybe you will understand it. Let me see if I can explain... You see, nations wait and watch genocide far too long before they actually DO anything to stop it. Check your history books...</p>
<p>Hamlet is saying, in a better world, there would be no "watching and waiting", genocide is wrong and there would be immediate action to stop it. </p>
<p>Make sense now?</p>
<p>Always there will be people who find something wrong with a nation sending it's military into another country to try to put a stop to something going terribly wrong, but put their family in that situation...or someone dear to them, and suddenly, they get it. </p>
<p>Think on that a while.<br />

<p>See, in the article it says "In a better world, there'd be no need for protest. In a better world, after short deliberation, international leaders would send their elite soldiers with a mandate and an arsenal, and for the first time in their bloody careers, the butchers of women and children would be the ones who felt afraid, knowing that the arbiters of rough justice had gotten their guns and were coming for them. In a better world, all this would happen so quickly, there wouldn't even be time to create the simulation of a refugee camp in Second Life. Let alone find it necessary to protect it." and I wanted to know if that was Hamlet's opinion or someone else's.</p>Gypsy Rambler commented on 'GUARDING DARFUR'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef00d834bc793969e22006-05-01T22:39:58Z2007-08-18T22:49:51ZGypsy Rambleryes the rings have functionality and they are very cool.

<p>Relee, I don't get the need to label what the GL's are doing as a "military intervention". They are group of nice people doing what they can to be a positive presence where it seems it's desperately needed.<br />
