Personally I heard the message loud and clear.

This is quite unfortunate. The problem, yet again, is perspective. Very few users actually know the history. The mods know zero about the history. While I know some of it, I know I don't have the whole story. If the users, or the mods, knew the little I did know, I honestly believe they would have a different opinion and would be making different posts.

That is the main reason I have been trying to stay out of those threads. How do you respond to someone who's post only makes sense if you are ignorant of the facts, without revealing the facts that aren't yours to reveal?

Huh?

I agree with most other people. Emoticons are cool except in the hands of a fool.

When you combine this statement with his statement in this thread, you will see that Rick wasn't talking about emoticons. The Mod closing the other thread, and stated that they would see if the could get the 'beating a dead horse' emoticon added, sent Rick an unintended and unfortunate message.

While I usually don't like to assume subtext, I think I am safe in saying there is plenty here.

No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.
