I would actually recommend you give some thought to this. Why exactly do many Matari - myself included - perceive you as condescending and react strongly to it? Why does it look like fear?
Pro-tip: for a lot of clan-Matari, people are not just themselves. Individuals who exist in isolation, without affiliations, are not considered just unlucky people, they are considered lacking something essential that makes them people in the first place. “Following your own heart” is not good advice; it is unhealthy indulgence or even insanity. You don’t just have associations, you are your associations, they are what make you you.
I DON’T HAVE TO
Why? That’s simple. One who puts accusations, brings evidences.
So, when a random clown on IGS brings random lie about me, I don’t really have to show it, I just have to show they’re the liars.
And since it is my turn to speak about other person - I bring evidences in form of their quotes. Point 1: that it was said. Point 2: that it was a lie (and considering I know way more about myself, just my word about that will be enough).
Moreover, it is a PUBLIC MEDIA. If you really want to dig evidences, be my guest at a tribunal session, for I will bring charges against you in public slander.
You’ve not. And you know it. At most, you’ve asserted that you believe it to be untrue. An error is not a lie, and you know that, too. So, if you won’t at least acknowledge the possibility of error, I’m left with no choice but to challenge you to settle this as we did our last dispute. And, as you insist that those you challenge must come to you, you will of course once again hold yourself to the same standard of honor, and come to me. You remember where the Raitaru is, I’m sure.
AND YOU DARE TO TELL ME WHAT I KNOW?!
When an error is used to defame other person in PUBLIC MEDIA without actually checking YOURSELF first if it is true or not, using ignorance as excuse for personal attack, yes, it does make it a deliberate lie instead of just “error”.
Freaking accepted.
I hope you will let me pick weapons in that case? Because this time I would like to use swords. No armor or other personal protection - one clown already tried to cheat me, using subdermal armor implants…
The more I see you call for Challenges Strike Commander, the less enthused I am about your claims of honor. It seems even the smallest slight is a slander in your eyes, and that… is dangerous. I will be submitting a report of concern for your mental fortitude to the State Protectorate command forces at my earliest opportunity.
