I think you miss my point. My aim is not to slaughter you, or to find an
excuse for bloodshed. Some of us have "paid our dues," so to speak, and
expect a little respect from the youngin's.

I had no qualms with your first post. I thought it was actually funny,
and I found my response funny. Your next response, however, I felt was a
little disrespectful.

There is a nasty tendancy as of late of people to enter the realm of
Achaea, only to shoot their mouths off and rely on divine intervention
to protect them. When they are threatened for their actions, they scream
"bully." Keep in mind, my threats were meant as a deterrent. Respect
your elders, and they will respect you.

It is true that some of the more seasoned veterans of this land enjoy
flaunting their talent. These types tend to be difficult to deal with,
as they are unfamiliar with how to respond to respect, and respond to
insults violently. At least 3 of your citymates decided to inform me
that you were too weak to be worth the trouble. I agreed. There would be
no glory in slaughtering you.

But your last line of your response was what insulted me. Telling a
warrior "how he should be behaving." Effectively calling me a hypocrite,
in public, for not "following my own advice."

If you don't care to burn another 1000 gold by posting, feel free to
send me a message in response. But I found your last apology empty, and
filled with contradiction. You apologize only to save your own head,
this is not uncommon. But your post made it seem that you apologized
only to save your own head, and you were unclear exactly what the
apology was for.

I have no intention in letting this back-and-forth go on forever.
