I'm going to cease the rhetoric and diatribe over Public Posts now. I
doubt many care and the only reason I brought it to public in the first
place was I was pretty rudely shoved out of the forum in which I
intended to place it. From here on I'll handle any issues they may have
with me over tells if it's that important for them to address them.
Don't take my silence from here on out as agreement, it's just that the
milk has been spilled and I see no point in crying over it anymore.

Just a couple of points before I close out to get my 1000 gold worth,

Callianessa, I never abandoned my guild. I never once turned GT or GNT
off. I never once lost interest in the Guild. I needed you to be able to
run things without me hovering over your shoulder and so I stepped into
a corner and let you do your thing. I'm sorry that this incredible show
of faith and trust that I had in you has been used against me in your
post on this matter. But I never abandoned my Guild. I was kicked out,
rather unreasonably I'd say without warning, disfavour (which is how
most punishments are originally handled with outguilding being a last
possible resort), discussion with me, nothing. I'd just also like to add
that I never intentionally ignored you. If I missed something you said,
send a tell, sweetheart. It tends to get my attention much quicker and I
don't recall ever not reponding to a tell or message sent to me by you.

Ralph, I've never had a problem with you and never thought I ever would
before today. You wore my Guildfavour often and were always one of the
people I admired most in the entire guild. When other matters came about
in my life that demanded my more immediate attention and I knew I was
not going to be able to give the guild my full attention that it
deserves, it was you that I came to and chose to succeed me. I even gave
you the 10,000 gold needed to contest me. Having already hashed over the
matter of inguilding procedures with Callianessa, I didn't really
appreciate the tone you took with me in trying to tell me how to do my
job or how to use my Guildfavour. If you had that much of a problem with
the person you should of just outguilded him or at least waited until he
messed up first insted of being so aggressive with me based on your
personal dislikes of a member I inguilded. For you, a founding member of
the Guild alongside Silvestri, Tay and myself to demand my Outguilding
in ultimatum over your personal problems with another person is a bitter
betrayal to me, after all the esteem, faith, trust and friendship I had
invested in you.

Callianessa, I hope you enjoy being a puppet from now on. Once you
succumb to Ultimatums, you forever give power over you to the other.
Once you allow someone to break you once, they will continue to use the
threat of that ultimatum to run over you and control you in the future
until you finally seek to find an end to the madness, grow a backbone
and stop deciding to be a doormat. When someone threatens to quit, it
shows thier dedication there to you on the spot and in most all case
will eventually wind up quitting anyway after some time when they either
have no more usefullness for you or you decide to put your foot down and
refuse to be party to it any longer. Caving into Ultimatums are always
only a temporary solution to a problem you don't wish to deal with at
best. There are no exceptions to this rule. I hope you can sleep well
with this knowledge, and in the betrayal you have bestowed upon me after
I, had done so much for you.
