Deliberately comedic (okay, tragicomic?) hyperbole. (“Sort of thing.”)

Here’s what you actually said.

“Oh please, if you are for some reason so stubbornly attached to what is “natural”, as if humanity is some sort of mysterious force that is not part of nature itself, then go right ahead and rip your implants out and suspend all your cloning contracts, you glorious technological marvel, you. We routinely manipulate and shape living organisms and entire ecosystems alike, but when the Collective does it with improved speed, effectiveness and precision, suddenly they are committing some kind of affront to god’s world. Unless you are blinded by the dogma of some sort of cult, to think any of this is intrinsically wrong is just plain hypocritical on your part.”

“… the fact that they even bother bioadapting the local populations and ecosystems at large are nothing short of an act of benevolence, for they most certainly do not require them for their task. The loss of life incurred by the war is, of course, unfortunate as always, but the scale of this is far larger than the idyll of some baseliners.”

Source.

The idyll. Of some baseliners. What a nice turn of phrase for what’s commonly known as daily life, tragically interrupted by involuntary biomodification.

What a pity it couldn’t be avoided. How pointless, to criticize a society that’s presumably done that or similar things to WAY more Caldari citizens than citizens of any other power.

How stupid of me to doubt you.

Ancestors forgive you, Remilia Malitia. But frankly, I doubt they will.
