Erisycthon,
As reluctant as I am, both as a person and as a family member, to thrust
myself into this situation, let me clarify one thing for you, and
hopefully explain how your comparing us to Mhaldor is untrue. Oakstone
has a task - protect the forests. To help accomplish this, Oakstone made
a rule - do not destroy rooms with the holocaust skill, or any others.
This rule is perfectly reasonable in my opinion, and I can't see how one
would say otherwise. Now, when you holocausted in the Shallamese
subdivisions, you broke this rule. The rule has no "Unless" clauses.
Oakstone, I assume, figures that it's better that it's better to enemy
somebody for something they didn't deserve, than to allow somebody to
slip through a loophole in the law - a law is as strong as it is simple.
This was nothing personal - you broke the law, you were punished.
The reason that your comparison is inacurate is because although Mhaldor
does strictly enforce certain policies, the ones that I at least find
unreasinable are the ones that are not clear cut. Skipping in Mhaldor is
grounds for enemying - this is clearly stated, I believe. Although I may
find this rule unreasonable, it is still my responsobility to follow it.
I chose to do so by avoiding such rules by not going to Mhaldor much.
I am sorry about what has occured, and hope that we can meet once again
in the heart of the Forests some day.

P.S. To avoid this in the future - don't prism or portal and immediately
holocause if you don't know where you will come out.
