• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence

I do not think I had ever before seen him! Thanks for posting.
Gonna edit him. "When stupidity is considered patriotism, intelligence is considered treason"
or even : . "When stupidity is considered patriotism, not being a total idiot is consdiered treason."
The danger of which he speaks is both intense, and the intelligence that leads to the threat is not really a high bar.
