[TheForge] Saving ABANA

[Andy Vida]

You see, this is the thing that makes me crazy in all of this.  The two
"sides" make claims that seem to be 180* out of phase with one another.
That would appear to imply that someone is lying their ass off.  This
makes no sense to me at all.  I like and respect everyone in question.
How in hell is one to make heads or tails of this?

I wish this would resolve.  We're all good people here.

There's a brand new talk, but it's not very clear,
That people from good homes are talking this year.
It's loud and it's tasteless, I've not heard it before.
They shout it while they're dancing from the dance floor.
