We already had a massive group in Dublin, it wasn't marshalled exclusively for you.
At that point, we basically said: "Cripes, another battleship. Kill it dead." Three of four in one day, (it's rather bad when you start losing count) with the last being a capital 8 Solaris/Tertiary, (which is possibly the most annoying type of battleship in the entire game for the types of ships we had) does not exactly engender much mercy from us, on top of existing roleplay.
The messages were group chat.
I generally block it from messages as part of my M.O.
Joker was commenting somewhere along the lines of karma and Inferno was trying to keep the Thugs off of Adama. Unfortunately, the latter effort wasn't exactly successful.
