Have we had enough yet? The post of a single individual on a personal
opinion does not represent the entirety of the guild he or she is in.
There was no call to bring his guild into it, although Synthesis and
Talisman sure jumped on the opportunity to do so. Talisman, for crying
out loud. You may have better grammar and oratory skills than Zelton,
but that doesn't magically make your insults any more salient or
necessary. I suppose since Talisman left or was outguilded from said
guild at least twice, and tried to rejoin and failed the interview, he
would be feeling a little hostile. However, the Shadowsnakes are a loyal
and respected guild of my home city, and I hate to see their name
publically slandered by somebody with a personal vendetta.

Shakti, who has very little patience today.

PS. What I'm really annoyed at, though, is that this is all diverting
attention from the real matter at hand, which is that Brinn is a silly
git. Guess what, Brinn? Jarik doesn't have any Special Leather Buying
Voodoo. You talk about "confronting him with allegations" like he's
committed some crime, and "monopolizing the leather market" like it's
possible for one person to do. Commshops restock every Achaean day, just
think about that for a minute. Then wake up and smell the kahwe --
there's an overall leather shortage; one single person hoarding some
leather does not cause that. Yes, it may be selfish of him, but it's
just as easy for you to race him or any other leather buyer to the
commodities markets. I suppose it's even easier to just blame Jarik and
complain about it. Oh, and before I forget: the Paladins must suck
because Brinn is in it!
