We are all going to get banned aren't we?

This is more what I was talking about. Humanity got the short straw in the war, and there's 17,000 of us on Infinity; relations on the individual level aren't the best, which would quickly escalate. Arbiter and Rtas, along with the higher ups in their clans, might be comfortable with us, but no one can account for individuals.
Especially on the most important piece of technology humanity has.

Maybe, but I'm willing to bet that the arbiter and his followers have actually bonded with humanity a bit, not just agreed not to shoot them. He and Master Chief undoubtedly grew on each other a bit, especially during the last mission of Halo 3, and in Glasslands, Arbiter is heard saying that there are honourable humans, and he defends them. I'm sure that the arbiters people could be trusted not to harm anyone on the Infinity.
Only, as I recall, He didn't see that friendly toward Humans.
And a number of his followers wanted peace just to build up strength so they could wipe out humanity.
Remember, Glasslands has the "growing numbers of elite youth who respect humanity" wiped out apparently.
No he doesn't. All he says in his speech is that they need to put aside their differences, put aside their warrior ways, to rebuild, that any war, no matter with whom, would be suicide for them. He--or anyone as I recall--never talks about regrouping to destroy humanity again. All this is right after Arbiter says the words "their are honorable humans. I fought alongside some of them." Coming from a man who just months prior saw us all as termites barely worth scraping off his boot, that's high praise.
Seriously, where do you get these notions from?
You are generalizing and leaving out the fact some elites do indeed want relations with us at-least pre-Glasslands. I am trying to understand what Damage a young elite with no technological understanding,combat record, or motives could do on a ship filled with humans (and spartans) far away from sanghelios.
Having about a hundred or so elites tops wouldn't be an issue and would certainly show the desire for relations to improve.
Might need to source where it said The infinity was the best thing we have seeing as Karen could pull something else out of her as, like the forerunner ships on onyx.

Where did you see that roberto?

More as slaves then willing servants, it seems. And I doubt they'll let Elites onboard Infinity, it's too soon for that. It'd be like allowing former N@zis access to the atom bomb right after the Nuremberg trials got over with.
There may be a formal peace agreement between the dominant Elite government and the UNSC, but that's just official. There will be lasting mistrust between the two for a while. Perhaps the trilogy will focus on how their relations grow, but for now, they've just agreed they'll not shoot each other.
It will never be "too soon" for ingratiation seeing as the fast the elites so effort in repenting the better the races will get along. Halo 3 brought up that the younger generation of Elites do not mind humanity and working for them. Having a few hundred or dozens elites aboard the infinity would help ease the peace even though i know there aren't any aboard.
Did you seriously just compare the elites to N@zi's Roberto? The key difference in that is majority of the N@zis knew exactly what they were doing while the elites did not. The N@zis have no issue reverse engineering and understanding technologies while the elites have issues. Judging from that statement i assume you love Glasslands Mr.Travis.
