' Wrote:This is the part of your statement that has me concerned. Please clarify what you say here. Left alone you are basically saying that "Stop or die" is sanctionable speech.
Wrong.
"Stop or die" followed by a kill shot and no demand for cargo or credits is sanctionable behavior. You are attempting to read between lines that I didn't even write.
' Wrote:EDIT: Because I don't like a thread does not mean I avoid commenting in it. And it does not make me a hypocrite (which is an inflammatory word).
Posting only to flame a topic and thus prolong its notoriety while demanding that it be locked is hypocritical, and the truth usually is inflammatory to those who are headed in the opposite direction.Bad behavior is bad behavior, and I'm not going to obsequiously sugarcoat it.
Being nice is not a virtue, despite what this postmodern world would have you believe. Kindness is a virtue. It isn't nice to grab someone by the hair and jerk them back three feet. But it isn't kind to watch while they walk right off of a cliff. So no, I wasn't nice, but I was kind in that I pointed out your poor behavior rather than allow you to blissfully proceed as if it wasn't.
Other than that, read my signature. It's there for a reason.
' Wrote:I post on the threads that are relevant to my characters and my role play. I don't want my pirate lumped into this category.
Except that this time, you didn't post in a thread that was relevant to your characters, since you deny that you pirate in violation of the server rules, which is the entire point of this thread. Several players who pirate have claimed in threads recently that it was perfectly ok to blow up traders without making financial demands, and the first post in this thread clearly and factually refutes that sort of behavior. If you don't behave this way, then this thread has nothing whatsoever to do with you, yet you jump into it with both feet and then claim to be insulted by your supposed "inclusion" in it. The only one who has included you in this topic is you. If you want out, then delete the contents of your posts.
