When we enter the Asylum, several of the regular members are seated around a table talking. Kojiami is off in the corner listening and standing around awkwardly. Kaolian is elsewhere, pwning someone, and Pikko is off tending her garden. Atomicflea enters...
Flea: Hey guys, I just read this really interesting article about teen abortion rates. (Flea hands everyone a copy of the article) There's some congressman proposing that teens should have parental consent before being allowed to abort their pregnancy.
Nobbymouth: That would suck for me, all those teen girls I've knocked up. (He pounds his fist on the table emphatically, but in a kind of gay way since he's British and all)
Jophiel: It seems to me that taking away a teenage girl's ability to abort legally would just prompt her to seek less legal means of achieving the same ends.
Shadowrelm: It's all a part of the conservative agenda! Bush and his political machine are....(He suddenly notices that he's not wearing his aluminium foil hat, and quickly exits, his face panic-stricken)
DSD: Not all parents are exactly understanding about teen sexuality, what are the girls supposed to do if their families decide to force them to keep the baby... or worse, disown them entirely?
Kojiami: Hey, you guys remember that time you talked about human cloning? That was so awesome! I think they should pass laws allowing genetic research!
(Everyone in the room stops talking and stares at Kojiami. Sabo is clearly shocked at Kojiami's poor manners. Jophiel is trying to stifle a smile. Nobbymouth, Bhodi, Nephthys, Patrician, Pickleprince, Trickybeck, and Kakar are all quickly formulating various insults, retorts, one-liners and witticisms in their heads. Tare, Flea, Nadenu, and DSD are all giggling to each other. Katie is struggling with her Tourette's Syndrome, muttering obscenities to herself. Then a hush falls over the group as Danalog enters)
Dana: I, DANA THE WISE AND ALL-SEEING, REBUKE THEE AND CAST THEE DOWN INTO THE DARKEST DEPTHS OF THE FFXI FORUMS! GET YE GONE FROM HERE, NUB!
The end.

Now do you get it, Kojiami? Just as it's rude to randomly interject into a spoken conversation with something that's already been discussed and moved past, it's rude to repost in an old dead thread on a message board.
