Free freeports?

[n00bl3t]

Clearly you harbor a grudge toward the individual(s) you perceive as being responsible for the dissolution of the ZA via means that you don't even consider to be within roleplay. Although your language is circumspect, I much prefer when pretense is dropped, so I provided a more direct response, in what the dissolution of the ZA has provided to the three official Zoner factions in terms of freedoms. The dissolution of the ZA was the "fault" of none but the Zoners who were members, us included. Blame events if it makes you feel better. There may just have been more going on behind the scenes than was realized, hm?

And no, I wasn't assuming you were directing the passive-aggressive attitude toward the OP. I was asking if the comment should have been perceived with that attitude behind it. Clearly your comment (which seems a little irrelevant, given that we didn't have much in the way of a Freeport Administration prior to the dissolution of the ZA to be responsible for said events anyway) was a response to Jarl's statement which I picked up on and commented back to you within my mostly-on-topic fairly lengthy post #77. The target of your comment, however, seemed to be a fairly vague one thrown out in space. I was simply providing an opportunity for you to clarify such.

Does that clear things up? I hate wasting forum space on trivialities such as these, but alas, it seems to almost be necessary wherever we go these days.

A grudge? No, not at all. But I am not about to call it role-play, since it will never be that.

So, you picked up on TheJarl's off-topic post for my supposed passive-aggressiveness? I believe I said something about on-topic responses, but it appears basic comprehension was unavailable.

Of course my comment was irrelevant, considering the comment I was responding to was also irrelevant. Basic cause and effect. If TheJarl's comment was about criticising the way Freeports are handled now, then of course the history of how Zoners and Freeport handling would have to be questioned, examined and explained. Previously, as you say, there was little in the way of Freeport "owners" per se, because the ZA existed. I explained how it came to be this way, and I was questioning why TheJarl did not speak up previously during the "changing" phase of Zoners.

Also, if you feel like blaming the Zoners solely for the dissolution of the ZA, feel free. [TAZ] and OSI- left the "alliance" first, so I guess we know where the blame lies in the dissolution of it.

I hope that clarifies things for you.
