[RealRam]

Beautiful! I thus sign, as a Warnerite, in blue blood.

[Yodude]

Holy Crap! This could go down as The Mother of All Olive Branches! :O

I'm skeptical....but I'll play along.

Yodude....Nov. 26, 2004.....Warnerite.

[AvengerRam]

This is on the level. Its time we all bury the hatchet.



And... to those who are surprised that I would be the one to suggest this, I remind you... "only Nixon could go to China."

Warnerite turned Bulgerite. If Warner were still here he'd be my guy (assuming he could still be productive). But, I can support Bulger...he's done his part to get us to the playoffs.

[Nick]

For the record, I think a better treaty would have been the banning of either name. Using them makes me feel like I'm back in 6th grade trying to figure out which clique I belong to. Why can't we all just be Rams fans?

[viper]

I think that is the point Nick. As much as we might like this to be behind us, there is still an open wound in some people's mind. I wasn't exactly pleased with the way Warner was handled and others feel the same way. If I read it correctly, Av has offerred an opportunity for all to have their final say and put this issue to bed permanently. May be too much to hope for but its worth a shot. Personally, I support the team no matter who is quarterback, as I believe you do.

Go Rams!!!

Seiler Amendment

It is hereby resolved, that the terms "Warnerite" and "Bulgerite" shall not hereafter be utilized by any signator of the Treaty outside the context of this thread.

Proposed by NickSeiler, seconded by viper3, and hereby appended to the Treaty.

Agreed, Avenger, and hereby signed with my initials: RR.

And I do too. Fortunately, we have a good QB -- he's a good man.
