I do not believe anywhere in my statement to Ms. Brezia did I say one decision should be made over another, nor would I ever speak on behalf of the State as a capsuleer. My words were my own and based on my experience as a diplomat in the service of I-RED. Perhaps in the future every capsuleer should place a disclaimer on their statements in order to ensure their words are not taken as those of any specific factions?
In any case, in the event a diplomatic summit is indeed held and an agreement be reached between the State and the Collective, then I will be the first to state that my personal belief was wrong. Until then, I stand by my statement with the firm hope that any decision reached is done so with sincere thought into all possible outcomes.
