A Call to Arms

You know, Meatpuppet… you’ve got 3 sentences there. One of them could have at least tried to be true.

You made an entire essay calling PIE and myself personally cowards for sticking by our word last month.

That was October 23rd. This is December. Last month was November.

Now you off-handedly praise Ushra’Khan for sticking to an agreement that is directly harming Minmatar people as we speak.

Nothing off-hand about it. They shouldn’t break their word. That doesn’t mean I think they should stay in the treaty. They should make a public statement explaining why they feel the treaty has already been abrogated, and formally withdrawing from it. There are, as I said, ways to do this.

In fact, that’s pretty much right in line with my statements, regarding you and the Amarr:

@Arrendis

Service would demand that in such a situation, the truly loyal servant must have the courage to risk his lord’s wrath with disobedience. He must have the courage to say ‘no, sir, I cannot. If refuse out of concern for your welfare’. And it may be that this act will result in discipline. It is entirely possible that by disobeying, he enrages his lord and is punished and/or harmed for his insolence. That does not change the fact that his act was the loyal choice, and the choice of faithful service, rather than mere obedience. It simply highlights that true service often requires courage.

Make the open and public statement regarding why the situation now warrants a change in direction, and why that is not a violation of sworn obligations. Then make that change, and take the consequences. Honestly, Meatpuppet, if you can’t get how that works, maybe you should lay off the extractors for a while.
