I have a very negative standing towards the AW, as do the rest of my brothers and sisters around the Corsair continuum. I will list the reasons:
1. They attack us whilst we attack the Outcasts, visibly aiding our enemies on the field of battle.
2. They bomb our planets and stations.
3. Some have Outcast tags, while others fly Outcast ships such as the Sabre and Outcast destroyer, the symbols of the death of many of our brothers in the past.
Now regarding your points in order:
1. As far as many of the Corsairs go, they are Outcasts, just with no honour whatsoever and a misplaced tag.
2. The Outcasts are aided by the AW, so in trying to concentrate on our main enemy, we have to shoot the AW too.
3. The Corsairs have nothing against true Zoners of any kind. If we ever blockaded a Freeport, it would ONLY be to the AW and our sworn enemies. All Zoners would pass in and out freely. However, that is the action which the Brotherhood will be forced to take if the AW become a problem worth dealing with.
However, all these points said, I must confess that I have a lot of respect for the [\JG/] especially the way yourself handled that... situation... in Omicron Theta not so long ago. Therefore, I will consult this with the other Elders to see what they think the next course of action should be.
If it were my decision, I would allow this only if the AW declared themselves in system with a [\JG/] member present to hold them back from shooting our brothers. But it isn't my decision, so you should hear shortly about the Elder's decisions about this issue. If it is undecided, the motion will be put forward to the rest of the brothers.
I am thankful for the good intentions of the [\JG/] but for now until a decision is made, the AW will be shot if they enter our home.
