Orinoko,

Really, now, I'm a reasonable person, so I think I have reasonable

expectations. I would expect that a pacifist would have to do something

pretty vile, for example, to earn a city enemy status -- admittedly

used against those who commit crimes against your city.

Before I say this next, let's make it clear. Rikki hasn't posted a word

nor whined as much as I've witnessed one of your own 'captaincy' do.

Rikki was questing. Aradhyl had a hissy fit. You backed it up. Cool,

your perogative.

just to clear some of the smog of posturing and ego-driven rhetoric

that's been adequately flung far and wide (quite like steaming dung piles)

Springdale's actions were no more 'hostile' than Parrius' decision to

close off all villages under her influence some time past. A preservation

of resources. As you have so often stated \"why would a city so rich CARE

about your embargo? \" Indeed.

If everyone would just stick their overblown egos up their asses (quite where

they belong, I'm thinking) some clear thinking might prevail and a reduction

of hostilities from all sides might prevail.
