There are, undoubtably, certain situations which *should* be brought to the public's attention. Howe'er, whom killed whom and under what circumstances are usually of less than minimal interest to any save the parties directly involved.

We all have our own opinions of the Church. We all know what we (within factions) think of Cooper, Vertigo, or Treant, myself, Nuitari, or Dalamar. We all have our own opinions about whether or not this war or that conflict is proper or productive. We all know full well how we personally feel about one Diety or another.

As a general rule (all of which have their own exceptions), 99% of Achaea could not care less about who killed you, enemied you, hoisted you to a grove full of churchies, or vortexed you to Ashtan to team you 10 to 1. To take a step further, I would even go so far as to postulate that the only purpose such posts serve is NOT to predujice any great majority of Sapience against one group or individual for their alleged actions -- but rather to set personal opinions about who is nae man (or woman) enough to deal with the consequences (howe'er unjust they may or may not be) of their own actions.

Frustration and anger are as common, if not more so, than pride and joy. The appropriate place to share or vent these discouraging feelings is amongst your own ilk and friends, be it through city, guild, or order channels and sections. Those are the people who will sympathize with you, pat you on the back, and/or aid you in your vengeance.

Crying in your mead on the public boards only serves to demean your own dignity, and I implore anyone considering it to think carefully about both their own public image, and the dignity of Achaea in general, before doing so.

Yours with regard,
