Perhaps it's the wrong analogy but would you stand idly by while a petty thief stole the purse of the old lady next to you? Of course not! Even though it isn't necessarily any of your business and even though you are not directly affected, it is your moral responsibility to look out for the greater good.

Look, it may not be popular, but certainly one can't argue that it was probably done for the greater good of the game.
I wouldn't want to be standing next to you in a fire.

He should have done a Power Point presentation.

Vic moved on the board members of that committee with the speed of Caller One, the class of Rick's Natural Star, and the heart of Dynever.

Sorry, my bad. I misread that in the context of the prior post.

DaHoss---just curious why you felt it neccessary to "out" Stauffer on (at least) two message boards?

I'm not against reading a good scoop or trash or anything of the kind but it appears to me that you are being overly zealous in your attempt to share this information.

It is public record so you are not doing anything wrong in sharing but just seem a bit eager, as if you don't like the guy or have something against him...maybe I'm reading into it too much.
