:::Though I am in very much support of the Writer's Strike, I am going to have to stay that we stay neutral ground. I really want us not to take any side (on any FrakMedia site(s) and partners, minus our discussion forum area, were we talk as individuals) because from what I know, NBC-Uni does visit our site and does keep tabs on us. There is even evidence that they visited recently during the Strike to see how fan sites are doing IMO, but they do keep tabs on us. RDM, Mrs. Ron, and Bradly, and even Mark visit the wiki, under the cover of non-registered names (minus brady). Thought they are all writers, I think it would be wrong for us to stay a stand. It would be so against and contradictory to [[BW:NPOV]] *Maybe even [[BW:REAL]]*. It would allow us to still "ask" proactive questions ([[BW:OC]]) and document the event in an article [[w:2007 Writers Guild of America strike|2007 Writers Guild Strike]] and what happened to BSG at the time, as information is feed or even posted online. There is already a sleuth of worthy material that is Strike and BSG related, and for future projects, it might be willing to save it as part of the project itself. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 23:44, 11 November 2007 (CST) | :::Though I am in very much support of the Writer's Strike, I am going to have to stay that we stay neutral ground.

I definitely have personal feelings on this and many related issues (writers require proper compensation, "fair use" and "public domain" have effectively been destroyed by corporate copyright extension lobbying, etc.) and I am extremely torn to also agree that BSGwiki should remain {{neutral}}. If everyone took the "we shouldn't piss off the corporation" attitude, however, necessary changes would never occur, abuses would run rampant, and profit would rule over any and every other consideration. There comes a time when you have to stand up and be counted, whatever the cost. I'm sure the writers didn't strike lightly. So, BSGwiki as an entity: neutrality. Me personally: take the corporations to task when they try, yet again, to stick it to workers and their customers - you know, the people that make their profit possible?
