Greetings, people of Sapience. I write this post to address the recent
issue of Diocletian's suicide, and to answer many questions I'm sure all
of you who knew this man have.

For those of you who do not know me, I am a reasonable man, though once
someone incites me enough to get me angry, I will stop at nothing to
strike that person down. About a month's time ago, someone close to me
was hurt very much by Diocletian. On a private clan, the name of which
will not be disclosed, Diocletian made several advances on this woman.
She declined his advances repeatedly, and he proceeded to harass and
upset her greatly, to the point where she was furious and almost in
tears. This kind of harassment is not tolerated by any man with honor.
In this case, both myself and another instructed Diocletian to stop, or
he would pay dearly for his actions. He refused, and I took control of
the situation.

Diocletian suffered greatly for his harassment of that woman. I will
give him credit that he took his death willingly, knowing his actions
were wrong. Yet his friends seem to think that I am the bad guy in this
situation, that I somehow incited him to do these things. Tell me, if
Diocletian was not wrong in this situation, why did he not snub me? Why
did he not borrow money, and hire Mark members on me to repay me for my
"wrongful killing of him." No, Diocletian knew he was wrong, and he
accepted his death, though he refused to apologize. In one last
desperate attempt to discredit me, he suicided without revealing the
depths of his wrongs to those close to him.

For those of you who would confront me, to those who would accuse me of
wrongfully bringing harm to this man you see as a wonderful person, I
give you only the proof that he did not attempt to stop me in any way.
If he was in the right, he should have sought help from his friends, or
from the Divine. But, as is usual with scum like him, he fled from his
actions, sought only to discredit the one who brought justice to him.

I welcome those who wish to mock me, or insult me for my actions. I know
where I stand on this, and justice is clearly on my side. Whether you
will mock me openly, or privately, I will not post again on this issue,
as I feel it is only a waste of my time and funds.

Learn well from this, for the road of Pain and Suffering is something
which many of you misunderstand. I have walked through the fires of
agony, and been made a stronger man for it. I have felt torment which
few could possibly understand. I will not hesitate to visit such lessons
upon those who deserve such things.
