Good afternoon. In less than an hour, posters from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest internet battle in the
history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We
will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Eighth of May, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from
tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from bannings. We are fighting for our right to post. To express. And should we win the day, the Eighth of May will
no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not
vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
I wrote a little document to present to Hobie as well. I cannot seem to post there as I keep getting banned, however:

When, in the course of online events, it becomes necessary for one cybergang to dissolve the bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the internet, the separate and equal board to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of posterkind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all nics are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, administrations are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of administration becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the posters to alter or to abolish it, and to create a new board, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their freedom from banning and boringness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that boards long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that posterkind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the boards to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such administration, and to provide new guards for their future posting security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these hobietopians; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of board governance. The history of the present King of Hobietopia is a history of repeated bannings and lack of humor, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these posters.
