This is my little attempt to coerce Ms. Karen Traviss back to the TFN boards. Although you can post outpourings of desperate Fandalorian longing, I'm primarily interested in receiving the following pledges of good conduct from both sides.

Fandalorian Pledge: On these boards, I will not call the Saxtonites names. I will not personally insult Curtis Saxton. I will accept that they have the right to believe three million is too small a number of clones for the Clone Wars. I will not flame, bash, threaten, or otherwise insult them for their beliefs. I will not resort to saying "It's fiction," "Get a life," or any similar comments. I will respect their rights to interpret the Star Wars canon differently than I do.

Saxtonite Pledge: On these boards, I will not call the Fandalorians names. I will not personally insult Karen Traviss or Ryan Kaufman. I will accept that they have the right to beleive that the specific numbers of the clone army are not particularly important. I will not flame, bash, threaten, or otherwise insult them for their beliefs. I will not resort to saying "It's the facts," "You're an idiot," or similar comments. I will respect their rights to interpret the Star Wars canon differently than I do.

Perhaps I'm being naive, but I'm hoping this will restore a sufficiently civil atmosphere that Ms. Traviss will return.

Signing both as a small-scale Fandalorian and a small-scale Saxtonite: Havac

For once.. a controversial issue Rohniss has no opinion on.. besides the fact I think attacks on authors taking time to post on a board that they dont have to.. and give hints about upcoming content.. is incredibly arrogant to say the least.. but eh.. I also think 3 million is a low number.. but I could put together a better way to express my views than some of the people on her blog.. and a couple of responses on the GTGA thread..

Sounds good, the whole conflict is dumb anyway. I find that both the scientific and the literature approaches have positive reinforcement on the overall saga. There should be no conflict, let us love in peace fellow SW geeks!

Why make fun of yourself, Windu? Were "civilised" English any better the other century? Drawn and quartering means your arms and legs are eviscerated, along with your intestines pulled out and wrapped around your waist. Didn't they have to make a senatorial bill to allow people expelled for 700yrs to return? We forced "females" to starve themselves for the honour of voting alongside vaunted men a few decades ago. Greevy is better for jesting than dermatological colouring, no?

The reasons behind her absence are more obvious than conspiracy Gibsons, if you ask yourself the obvious, though I don't see how women find him sexy. confused

But when the wind blows, my temper implodes,
High above a pit, filled with sharkticons,
Down will come hardcover addicts, beaming no more. ©

Of course you can count me in, as both a Fandalorian and a Saxtonite.

*Puzzled* Are you saying I'm a half commited stormie fan? confused *Thinks* Well I am more of a Han/Leia fan then clone fan but she writes the clones so well that I became a newly minted stormie/mando fan.

Playing both sides up the middle?

*is still confused*

Edit: I do know the novel, Song of Fire and Ice but its been a while since Ive read the series.

2ed Edit: OHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *Smacks head* Now I get it..... doh!
