Yup, that's exactly what people normally say to virtually any change.
What is the specific difference we're
speaking about here, Carcharoth? And,
what is the danger you're talking about?
He's talking about the 'Danger That Cannot Be Named, So Nothing Must
Be Changed.'
To be honest, I was thinking about starting a liberal political party
on wikipedia. It's about time we had political parties. My party is
going to be called 'The Party for Change (tm)'.
I'm not sure what the changes would be yet, but we can work out a
manifesto as we go.
I am shaking in my boots. Woe is us!
It's going to be a New Force (tm) in Wikipedian
politics!
You're channeling one of the Terry Pratchett books here, aren't you?
I hereby announce the second party; we're the California Conservative
party. We believe in "God-or-outmoded-concept saving the Queen" (in
the San Francisco sense; see [[Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence]]) and
will adopt a modification of the Aspen Drug and Gun club ("Death
before Dishonor, Drugs before Lunch").
