[wplug-plan] Not to beat a dead horse

The movie in question was Ninja Scroll. A subtitled anime movie. 
http://us.imdb.com/Title?0107692

When the pizza arrived, I looked at the screen to see a naked lady being 
raped by some large guy with tenticles I think. While I wouldn't have 
minded if there were at someone's house or in a similar private setting 
(I think I've seen parts of it before), I felt that if someone passing by 
saw that, it would tarnish our image as an organization and worsen the 
image of Linux to the general public. In my opinion, that goes against 
the goal of wplug of getting more people to use linux, so I turned the 
movie off and removed it from the VCR. I did make a quick check with a few 
other regular members to see if my opinion was off base, but they agreed 
with me.

I have no problem with Beth being added/nominated/appointed/imprisoned 
onto the board. She does more for the group at the cost of her own linux 
enjoyment than anyone else.
