I forgot to mention, I've also been in an Mhaldor Guild, as a Novice and
I've also read through alot of their own helpfiles. I can't remember
which Guild it is exactly and only a Mhaldorian, or someone that
remembers that particular helpfile could tell you, but as far as
Mhaldorian Novices are concerned, scum, maggot, lowest of the low, IS a
sign of respect. Novices are often referred to as maggots, I was simply
showing a Mhaldorian Novice the same level of respect they are used to.
I don't exclude Mhaldor. As an Ex-Churchie, it's probably wrong to think
this way but I happen to LIKE Mhaldor. I think they're doing a swell job
of doing what everyone else thinks of doing, once in awhile.

But, onto the point, 'scum' wasn't a sign of disrespect in that regard.
