Try to use naturalism on a room that's already been rejuvenated and tell
me if you can see the last person to harm it. Trust me, you can't.

Likewise, I'd love to see the "diligent servant of nature" who goes
around subdivisions patrolling garden rooms which have taken no obvious
damage with Naturalize, even if it WEREN'T damaged.

Oakstone laws have changed. I agree that the time when a single room
only being worth a 1000 sovereign fine was ridiculous, and I'm glad I'm
being charged more. But to be perfectly honest, what bothers me the most
is the absolute inflexibility of Oakstone law. The fact that it has no
human guidance behind it. As I recall, a particular Hierophant told me
around the time of my enemying that he regretted having to do it, but
that it was "the rule" and he was "obligated." Shouldn't living,
breathing, sentient, NATURAL life guide Oakstone's decisions more than
dusty, outdated, mindless, written rules?

Your thinly veiled personal attacks aren't appreciated. You don't need
to tell me I made a mistake. Of that I am WELL aware. I'm not objecting
to my enemy status. You may want to read my last message a little less
selectively.

I'm calling on all who think Oakstone needs a bit of a facelift to speak
to me. An organization with such absolute power (technically, all herbs,
elixirs, and salves we use have to flow through the adherence to an
Oakstone law) should be held accountable. I believe in what Oakstone is
doing. I believe in defending nature with all that you may. I believe in
protecting the most sacred part of our world. I don't believe in
blanket-punishment, in one-size-fits-all fines that are not only unjust
but insulting.

Despite the rest of the harsh words I've received here, that still does
remain the greatest insult to me: the numbering of me and many others
who are not "forest enemies" with the basest of offenders.
