I think the question is an interesting one. Unless the UPCI is now a secret society, then the way it functions is pretty much anyone's business.

This post reads like you're gritting your teeth or clenching your jaw...is that how you intend to come across?

Back to the secret handshake, secret location, secret password, and secret ties to the members finances, thingie......

And every post I remember ("remember" being a keyword) coming from The Closer seems to be dripping with sarcasm, acid, cat like, and sounding like many mens "first wife".

I like "The Closer." (I've never seen the show or anything related to it).

But I like the poster. At the risk of getting my own comeuppance, how has it come about that you use a Television avatar and username but slap someone down because they are have made it "so very clear that the district and organization is so far out of it." ???

I don't wanna fight. I'm just intrigued and wondering what I've missed from the CBS fall line up that is so pro-UPCI.

This is an interesting question that I would guess would be up for interpretation from reading organizational bylaws.

Some folks don't like the light being turned on!

A very good question, but if you will go and read my friend, you will never see that I have stated that I am UPC or not. It seems that you have assumed that since I was pointing out that the poster who opened this thread is no longer with the organization and that I did not take to him over and over trying to bring negative light to the organization that I must be a member, but that has never been stated. As far as the name and the avatar, well that is that, a name and an avatar.

I have heard of this stuff happening like the Australia Tv thing mentioned on Aff before. So you never know....
Also, aren't things like facial hair on men and women's hair length non issues in some countries as far as the UPC is concerned?

Haha, but the question might be, "whos first wife might I be?" Thank you for your kind words, thank you so much. At least you read my post, and remember, I never remember anything you have written other than this post I quoted. That is the difference in The Closer and you my friend, my post of truth will be remembered.

Nothing in our dialogue assumes that you "are UPC" and my statements are not contingent upon you being UPC.

As far as your avatar and username- these are chosen to give some hint about the person's identity and/or personality; or they are chosen specifically to cloud the identity and personality. That you have chosen a Television related avatar (and I was only guessing CBS, Google tells me that I was mistaken and it's TNT) shows that you desire to cause your readers to see you either as a fan of The Closer, or as a corporate shill for the TNT network.

I have chosen to believe that you are a shill of Ted Turner's megalomaniacal desire to reach into the homes of God fearing Americans. I may be wrong, but I am still anonymous. So, Ms. Corporate wonk who wants to colorize our classics and add new and scandalous dialog to our SeaQuest adventures- I say be gone!

The Cimmerians and Hyperboreans both have different standards than the UPC. Sorry... that "The Closer" thing was getting to me.
