Woohoo! I got killed today for stating my beliefs!

That's all I really wanted to say on the subject, at first, though I
thought of more to say. Last time I checked, I wasn't being forbidden
from stating my beliefs by anyone. Apparently I'm not allowed to do so
without dying now.

However, I have no problem with death. No issues with it -at all-. Go
ahead, Vertani, kill me all you like. I will throw down my staff, leave
my grove, and let go of my bond with whatever animal spirit I have
bonded with.

I will not fight you.

My beliefs are my beliefs. I was standing up for a guildmate, and
stating that we're all a part of the balance in nature.

You said that people aren't animals, humans aren't animals. Well, that
just made me laugh and giggle like a school girl after the Vertani left
my grove. People are NOTHING but ANIMALS MADE SENTIENT. We are made by
Nature, live with Nature, die by Nature. Hunting is a part of the
balance that keeps nature. All people are hunted, whether by aggressive
animals or by other people - because people are animals.

I can't say I've never killed another sentient being. I'd be lying, and
I won't lie to you. But I at least don't fight things that aren't
perfectly willing to fight back.

I do not ask for help from anyone. The Vertani can hunt me all they
want.

The above are MY BELIEFS.

I will NOT fight back.

I just ask that the Vertani do not take my views and assume that anyone
else shares them. No one else should have to pay for what I have written
about, for what I feel.

P.S. Ah, and no, I really don't care about what -anyone- thinks or what
-anyone- does. Unless it touches Nature, my guildmates, my friends or my
family, I simply don't care. So, any wishing to say anything against my
opinions... Go ahead. Just know that I won't care unless you're one of
the above mentioned.
