Aren't whistle blower protection laws there to protect someone who turned in a company that was breaking the law?

Just because someone wasn't arrested for being a traitor doesn't make it legal.

Like I said before, why can't or didn't they just go through the Freedom of Information Act?

Jay, the Bible does not say that God is perfect. By saying so you trap yourself, not the Bible. In fact, the Bible states specifically that God can make mistakes. After the Flood, he regreted his violence upon all living things and formed a covenant stating that he would never do it again.

You are ignoring the world status in trade, though I brought it into the conversation early. Can you address the ...

Sadly, these discussions always turn into a debate pitting established religion vs atheists.

An Agnostic believes that we CAN'T know if there is a ...

Aeron, do try and do more than skim, I stated that Free Trade requires controls to be successful. Also, your interpretation of the article varies from mine. I did not take "uncontrolled corporate growth" to be the main focus of the article, but rather the merits of a free trade system, thus the ...

Here's a link to a map with around 60 different areas. I would probably find a different way to splitup the southeast, or make the bonuses far more lucrative, but this is a decent map to play with:

Sure, there are 16 moons around Jupiter. Some are very large, some rather small. There is also 4 rings at varying distances from the Planet.

Picking and choosing, you could create some moons with many areas, and other small ones. I dont know if the rings should be used or not, but they are ...

Ok, so the mapmaker has to either make suggested changes, or refute the reasoning behind them, or another poster can do it. That's my understanding of the rules here?

Strategy is one thing, missing turns is another. If I was playing live in the same room with a player and they werent playing their turn because they were watching TC, I'd flick'em on the nose. Negative feedback is about the closest you can come online.

If the person leaving the feedback was your partner they have a right to question your lack of "strategy." However, it would be better discussed in a PM or game chat.

I have not left negative feedback when a partner attacked me, so your example does seem questionable.
