Star Trek Fan 0 Posted March 25, 2004 Here you can post anything (good) about Ensign Jim Phaserman. This is kind of like a memorial service. Keep in mind that (to the best of my knowledge) Julie will still be on, and she can show it to him, so this is not a "Say whatever you want about EJP behind his back." FOR CLARIFICATION, IN HIS PERSONAL LOG HE SAID, For the record, I am NOT leaving because of the Signature thing. I have other personal reasons for leaving. Sorry for the confusion I caused. He was one of our best members and it is so sad to see him leave. Ensign Jim Phaserman, 1/6/2004-3/23/04 :) . Best wishes to Julie and Gary on STF.net and Jim boldly going where he has not gone before!!! To that, EJP, I salute you. :blink: :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mj 7 Posted April 8, 2004 Thank you. For those wondering, I did post in the "My interests" section of my profile a reason while I was gone. in it is a confession that was hard to make, but I did make it. It is sometimes hard to form a community when people are so different, and many have left this board for what they consider to be good reasons. I respect your decision to stay more than I would have respected your decision to leave. I read your comments about why you left, and looked for the comments about your signature, but could not find them. They may have been removed by a moderator if they amounted to personal attack. I think we need your military perspective here as much as we need the pacifist's perspective. More than anyone those of you who fight for this country must know that that many of the people you fight for do not agree with what you do, which can't be easy. But I think the majority respect your sacrifice. I respect your sacrifice, yet I am liberal-leaning. If you ever have a chance to watch a program called "Sue Thomas:FBI", you should try to catch an episode which aired Sunday April 4. I do not know all the characters' names, but the lead male FBI guy was under investigation ( including internally from the FBI) for "racial profiling" for arresting a Arab man for suspicion of planning a terrorist strike. They had good evidence from NSA decoders, and knew that the arrested man's lawyer, who was attacking the FBI in the press, was being used to give coded instructions to the other terrorists. They could not get the judge to issue a gag order because the judge wanted evidence, and the FBI could not risk letting it be known that they had the code. The same judge released the smirking terrorist, against the FBI's advice. Here comes the important part. Since the terrorist was now out of jail, he changed the code. But his lawyer, who had been attacking the FBI still had a message she was supposed to read to the press before the guy knew he was going to get out. Now the lawyer was a security risk to the terrorists because she (unknowingly) had the terrorist targets in the old code. The FBI tried to warn her that her life was in danger, which she viewed as a confession on the FBI's part that they had been "spying " on her. Of course she was killed, because she did not let the FBI protect her. But then, the FBI was able to convince the same judge that had not been listening all along to give them a search warrant to find the message the lawyer would have given. They were then able to figure out the terrorist targets, some of which were in England and France, and that they did not know who one of the terrorists was. So they rearrested the one terrorist, and his compatriots they knew, and manned all the the other locations to be attacked hoping to stop the last one in the act. They were looking for vans loaded with explosives with Arab drivers. The first van they stopped and pulled their guns on turned out to be a man with his two small children... so the FBI apologized profusely and explained to him the situation. The man was offended that he had been stopped, and guns pulled on his children (who wouldn't be?). The FBI did manage to stop the unknown terrorist. Only the French were unable to stop all their terrorists. So a couple hundred died rather than the 70,000 planned deaths. A good day for the FBI. But then FBI guy who had been under investigation for racial profiling originally was called in again by his boss, and sitting there was the Arab guy who had been mistakenly stopped, with guns pointed at his children. The FBI guy was thinking "here we go again." But the Arab guy said that while he was upset at first, that his wife worked in the building that the FBI prevented the terrorist from blowing up. He was there to think the FBI for saving his wife's life. Cool ending! The point of that episode (if anyone is still reading....this has gotten long) is that many are aware of the challenges of trying to conduct the war against terrorism within the confines of a democracy. I applaud your efforts in this area. I am glad you made the decision to stay, and look forward to disagreeing with you in some future thread, as it is the American way.
