Fact Checking:

[jarandhel]

Could Feral, and anyone else who was a member of HOPE in 1999/2000 and who has knowledge of the attempted covert aspects of the organization please contact me? I need to double check something... I have previously stated on many occasions my opinion that the inclusion of the statement about bombs in the original HOPE charter document was a mistake, a joke that was made during the planning session that was included unintentionally, but the more I think about things the less convinced of that fact I'm becoming. For one thing, why would anyone transcribe a draft document all the way down to the jokes that were made when it was written, in order to send it to others for use in the actual planning of an organization? I am forced to wonder if I was in error about why it was included, and if only one of us in fact took the original suggestion as a joke. Does anyone remember further subsequent discussion of the use of modern weaponry of any sort in the planning of the camps scenario prevention bullshit? My memory of those discussions is hazy at this point for various reasons having to do with the environment I was in at the time.

Hmm... I'm still not sure. I'll email you later, I need to think about some stuff that was said and try to figure out how it was meant and in what context it was said. I really should have written this FAQ years ago, I think... I hate having to write something like this largely from memory three years after the fact. That's why I'm trying to get evidence from the lists and such, and as much direct evidence from HOPE itself as possible, before I write it.
