[mobglob-discuss] David Icke Still Sucks

[Bella]

The last thing we need is to dredge this old and stale issue up once
again. I think we all have a grasp on it already.  The concern here is
that Shared Vision has Icke content, I think that's something to address,
but can we leave the insult hurling out of it and move on ?

Peace to all,
Bella
